Tested successfully on military aircraft in World War II.

@taamvan:

An interesting question.

“Sino-Japanese buildup in western China and Manchuria along USSR’s border be to disallow full USSR deployment against Euro-Axis?”   It sound like you are proposing a transition directly from enemies to friends.

Yes, I certainly got ahead of myself there  :lol:. I guess I was thinking along the lines of them being separately deployed and that China and Japan would go along with it to acquire territory to make up for the eastern land ceded to Japan. But, yes, extremely unlikely.

Thanks for the input, guys.

Thank you for the information. Korean War is truly the forgotten war.

It’s widely thought that Germany’s conquest of Romania is all that kept the German Army and People from complete starvation. Germany brought by train between 300 and 400 million tons of grain occupied Romania.

Germany also had a few long range U-Boats that went to the U.S to get precious supplies. In the early years of the war, the U-Boats were welcomed as heros.

I scored Finland, I’m trying to score Italy to see what it says  :-D

I feel the video would do it justice better than just me telling the story.

Imo, no, WW2 was all about production, tech, manpower and what allied powers you had.

While manpower won WW2 special forces played an important role. The British commando raids on Norway played a major role in Germany’s decision to build up major forces in the region. When Germany surrendered in 1945, over 400,000 German service men were stationed in Norway!

Germany should never invade us in the first place…  :-D

My point is that the “special forces” of WW2 did not play an overall important role, compared to what modern special forces can do during peace time, and against third world countries who does not have a modern army.

I would say, even if the British commandos was better than the average British soldier, I think it was the “hit and run” tactic which was very wisely used in Norway, as compared to a small number of soldiers who was better trained than the usual ones.

Is the version of All Quiet on the Western Front from 1979 film with Richard Thomas and Ernest Borgnine the version that you guys are talking about?

The best is one called “The Big Battles” B&W circa 1963 ish?

Playing that in the backround while playing is a must
