Favorite WWII Hero

Good to know. Thank you. And I did mean Palermo Italy.

Thanks for this RJL. I had never heard of it. Very interesting.

I don’t think so much was a French duping as it was the unrestricted sub warfare in the Atlantic shipping lanes, involving a lot of US ships.  But hey, wars have been fought over less, and I would not be in the least bit surprised by propaganda usage.

I’m going to go with a guy not on the list, Col. Aaron Bank. This type of mission sounds right up his alley…

Can you move your Triple A test post to software or play games area please?

@pfc_pander:

I enjoy reading anything I can about Saipan in the Mariana Islands.  My grandfather was a BAR man apart of the marines 2nd division.  He died when I was about 10 and he never liked to talk much about it.  So anytime I can learn something about Saipan I jump at the chance.  If anyone has any recommendations for any books about the 2nd marines on Saipan I would greatly appreciate it.

This movie…

…includes colour footage of the Battle of Saipan (wartime Kodachrome footage, not computer-colorized black and white footage).

I agree with you guys…the German Tiger tank i agree was the best all around tank in the war…

I proclaim this thread Worthy.
