Thanks. I’ll check that out. I know it’s not WW2, but if you’ve never read “Warbirds. Diary of an Unknown Avaitor” do so. It’s the diary of an American WW1 pilot. Haunting is the best word I can think of. I read it 3 times when I was younger. I’m about to read it again.

Thanks for the morbid instructions, Garg - lol

Here are the results of the bayonets from milsurps.com- the poster named “porterkids” is correct.

@WILD:

When Hitler awakes from his coma his generals most likely declare him incompetent and have him put in some institution, allowing Germany to win the war.
Either that or he has them all shot for not following his agenda and once again the axis lose.

Oh those do no goods shoot em ,imediatly shoot em…

Frederick Barbarossa was one of the greatest hero’s in German History. He was Hitlers personal hero. He successfully protected the feudal states of Germany from foreign invasions and established the first German Reich. His zealous personality was of vital influence to the crusades against Muslims in the middle ages. Hitler viewed his activities in the Soviet Union as another modern crusade against communism, so he felt the analogy fitted to his operations in Russia.

Reading a really good book

@frimmel:

Agreed. It is sometimes like he can’t remember what it is he wants to tell us. Or he has so much to tell he forgets not to say it all at once. I like that it is taken a lot from the common soldier’s experience but Ambrose does get off track frequently and a little too mired in the details.

Although that can be good too. In D-Day when he talked about all the stuff the guys carried I felt weighted down with equipment.

He’s still quite readable. I just feel like Cornelius Ryan beat him to the punch and did a much better job. Ambrose certainly goes for the empathy angle.

@frimmel:

@tcnance:

the war of the rats is a good book, made a movie out of it cant remember the name but it is based on the german-russian front. it centers on 2 dueling snipers in stalingrad

Enemy at The Gates?

Exactly what I was thinking.
