I'm surprised that Germany doesn't commenorate her war dead, the sacrifice that the men made, I would oppose the glorification of the war leadership..... but respect their right to remember the fallen. I know in Japan the PM Koizumi got in hot water for visiting the nation war shrine at Yakasuni (si...

Das Reich's post hits the nail on the head for WW2. Civilian casualties in WW1 (bar starving Germans) were a fraction of WW2, due to room of army manuevering and bombing capacity of planes. However WW1 was probably a bloodier conflict, with higher %age casualty rates per capita and as a %age of the ...

Get a Weekly Travelcard that gives you access to the Tube, Railways and Buses. Imperial War Museum in South London is a must see, as is the RAF museum at Hendon, also I'd recommended the Maritime Museum at Greenwich (for naval stuff not really ww2). Have a great time. The our fuhrer bunker is well w...

I think you guys have missed the point..... Why do think the British Isles haven't been successfully invaded since 1066. It's a cunning plan........ Yorkshire pudding is best served at home..... It should be served by itself and be ROUGHLY 8" OR 205mm in metric artillery terms.... in diameter, ...

The supposition that bombing of civilians is generally morally repugnant and shouldn't be condoned.... AM Harris' many objective was to break the will of the German people........ much in the same line as the Blitz on London........ rather erroneous thinking that helped to raise morale..... The pape...

I was thought that the right to bear arms in the USA applied to well ordered militias.... in ready for the Brits if they came back...... The initial post said that a well armed civilian poppulation is hard to subdue..... didn't hold water for France in '39... unless you mean your own government is d...

Plus don't forget the tremendous contribution of Commonwealth soldiers who have served as troopers.

I believe that Fiji has provided some of the most decorated troopers from across the seas..... especially those who served in Yemen.

Venezuela was the no2 oil producer in '28 and no1. by '46, the major field being Lake Maracaibo... Also the ailing Mexican oil industry may have contributed, but the forced nationalisation of the industry in '38 nailed their export market (consumer boycott).... Probably didn't last and Tampicp was p...

Argghhhh I'm a klutz Even the British and American governments knew about the Holocaust from information smuggled out by the Poles........ but chose not to comment or do anything.... do you think they were worried about inflaming the situation? Who do you think were keen on issuing visas to Jews imm...

It's a fact that the Holocaust took place.... some people involved in it organisation knew, ie people who ran the railways, industries that used slave labour, the neighbouring towns...... but I doubt they would have talked openly about it..... Germany was a police state, people probably kept what th...

Scammell was still going strong in the 80's I think. I'm sure they were used as tank transporters until recently in the UK.

An interesting question..... depends on the ground situation..... but if AM Harris had a say it'd have been Berlin or a population rich environment..... the Allies would have probably taken the Ruhr, the rest of the German industrial muscle probably would have Bavaria/Czechosla vakia.... On a tangen...

May be they ran off and joined Vlassov's army.........

Also the objection rate probably was quelled by a stiff shot to the neck....
