Hop,

You make several sound points. What I was trying to point out was the accuracy pecentage was low on "precision" raids due to the technology avaliable at the time.

Allied Bombing

It's easy to critizie the American bombing effort today because of all the GPS munitions or "smart bombs" that are currently used. I believe that the technology at the time never really allowed for "precision" bobming. Having said that from everything I read on the subject it see...

von_noobie,

Yes the French had more to do with the treaty, but the British and Italians were there as well.

Food

Christoph Awender,

Nice posts. I can say with all seriousness that I learned something new today.

Common sense dictates that planning for supplies depended on the situation at the time, but the food rations or what was suppose to be their rations was very detailed. Thank you for the information.

General

I'm in agreement with Jan-Hendrik with Manstein. As for Von_Noobie please be mindful what you post and how it potentially comes across. I understand the point your trying to make, but it comes across that you feel Hitler was justified for taking territory that was not German territory. I agree with ...

corderex, I just did not want to start a "flame war" or have you take my comments personally. I would not think you would, but I wanted you to know that I wasn't trying to get anything started. As for munchener, I believe he is new to the boards and may not realize that the the topics he p...

corderex,

No offense taken, but if I am correct he feels that his neighbor may have been in the SS during the war.

corderex, Please tread lightly toward Herr munchener. I'm sure he means no offense. He has sent me private messages and I had no problem with them or him. Also try to remember he is fairly new. I don't want any trouble I'm just asking you to be more patient towards munchener. Best reguards, Bittrich...

Neighbor

Is this gentelman the landlord? Does he own the apartment complex? If not then I'd talk to your landlord about it and try to resolve it through them. This gentelman doesn't seem think too highly of you so a confrontation with him will only make your problem worse. By talking to your landlord the pro...

Stalingrad

M.H,

I'm sorry your relative never turned up. Sadly I imagine there were a large number of families that faced the same dilema.

In High School we had an exchange student from Germany. We became friends and he told me his grandfather died at Stalingrad.
