Discovered German Secret Weapon in WWII

I find them easier and more accurate to throw to a certain spot.

I once watched an english movie where bank robber used the M24 to break their way through.

Nice story.

Saints and Soldiers or A bridge to far

Lets pretent Hitler was never born and the Weimar was in power.

As soon as you do that all events which follow change, so you can no longer use the same history for the hypothesis, since all of the events that followed were dependent on Hitler. No Hitler = no 1939 invasion of Poland. Other events maybe, but not the same. For all we know if Hitler hadn’t been born, Germany may have been invaded by Russia and the cold war may have been between a German victor and the US.

Hypothesis and theorizing aside: Germany was defeated in North Africa and Stalingrad at the end of 1942 / the start of 1943. At that point any chance of an Axis victory was lost (the Japanese were also experiencing reversals of fortune in the Pacific). The causes for the loss may have started earlier, but that’s when the problems created earlier became physical fact.

Speaking of medium bombers, I feel for the Japanese bomber crews who operated the Betty, which was a flying gas can. Although it must be nice to have a 20 mm cannon for a tail gunner.

It’s good to broaden your horizons :D

Yes, Reefer Madness was a flick made way back in the 1930s more or less, which is so utterly glob-handed and over the top in its “treatment” of the subject that it became a smash hit in theaters as a parody during the weed-reeking 1970s (trust me, I was there… at least, I think I remember being there…)

“That 70s Show” did a fairly good send up of “Reefer Madness” in one episode; in fact I think they made the two-minute imaginary sequence in black-and-white … it shows the kids as hopeless dope fiends and gangsters. They got the tone, just the right balance of hilariously stilted language and stupidly exaggerated actions – all to assure, as in the original, that every last innocent moron in the audience would get the point.

Best of the 20th Century

Ronald Reagan - inspirational leader, made americans proud, killed the USSR and Warsaw Pact threat, brought America back from the economic misery of the late 1960’s and 1970’s Dwight D. Eisenhower - a brilliant man who got things done FDR (War Years) - a leader when leadership was needed Richard Nixon - resignation overshadows the fact he was a good president Teddy Roosevelt - conservationist, expanded US influence in the world

Worst of the 20th Century

LBJ - Corrupt, Stupid, and Foolish…many Americans died for no reason under his leadership, the ‘Great Society’ was a complete failure. JFK - Corrupted by the Mob, Bay of Pigs failure, all flash no substance FDR (Depression Era) - Depression dragged on because of his inept policies Jimmy Carter - Wimp, Apologist, and Poor leader Herbert Hoover - Couldn’t breech the floodgates of the Depression

Whoever the “Jimmy Carter” fan is, is a complete moron. I don’t even have to explain the reasons why he was perhaps the least effective leader this country has ever had.
