I was looking at old pictures of Hitler's office tonight - does anybody know who is in this painting on the wall? It doesn't look like Frederick the great to me.

@DarthShizNit:

The Swede’s were just plain awesome in the age of musket lol. So many great commanders.

No doubt, The Great Northern Kingdom had an elite battle force.

Hey Garg. Man I wish I could ask him. I spent one weekend with him at his cottage the week after the at the time Premier Bill Davis was there. A few years later he found out he had aggressive cancer. Being a man’s man he didn’t want anybody to see him in his weak and dying state and died with only his wife at his side a few weeks later. I’ll ask my mom tho, we were just talking about them as her 90th b-day was last week and mom went.

Man that Berlin Air Lift was one hell of a heroic effort. A pivotal moment in the cold war in my opinion.

Japan would have lost that battle to the western powers.

The Great War was really a European conflict with a minor chase in the Pacific against a number of Light German cruisers. The Central powers objectives did not include much outside Europe/ Middleast

The defeat of Leningrad would have been easier than Stalingrad.

The loss of Moscow would have been much greater loss than Baku and resulted in a shortening of the front of which a latter southern drive could succeed without fear of getting cut off because at that point all logistical support for Soviets would be coming entirely east of the Don and this country is not too developed. The last Soviet Factories would be in range of Axis bombers and the front would have rolled up more easily, than committing the 6th to Stalingrad with all other Soviet logistical and political objectives are intact allowing easy reinforcement from rail heads running south from Moscow.

There are many good books on the ordeal of Black Americans in WW2…amazing what they had to go through in the armed forces and most of the time they were the fiercest fighters around…

@Raunchy:

At least 749 U.S. sailors and soldiers would be dead by dawn.
Code-named Exercise Tiger, the ill-fated D-Day dry run was at the time America’s costliest incident of the war (only Pearl Harbor was worse).

:roll:sigh, people just dont know anything about history

But very interesting article, I dont blame you for the author being an imbecile

Totally. I think that quote sums up the Russian victory on its own.

I have used Mozilla since day one, with Norton running with phishing protection on.

But still some break thru and out of principle i avoid these types of places. That site used to not have so many things running from other people. I think its when they don’t weed out the bogus spammers and eventually they latch on all sorts of crap that try to spy on you.
