The War You Know

thewaryouknow.com

There was another topic in the 50th section where someone asked why Rommel was on the box and not Hitler.  This person pointed out that you saw faces like Churchill and Stalin (world leaders) not Montgomery or Eisenhower (country specific generals) for example.

The answer was that the game would not be legal to market in Germany with Hitler’s face.  I would imagine this would fall under the same school of thought.  Germany doesn’t deny that the war happened but they would like marginalize the bad PR that goes with it.

Fall has officially arrived.
The annual A&F ad campaign has done it’s job.
Now I can hibernate as the news is not NEW any more.  It’s just recycled from last year.

Anyone notice the IT commercials?
I saw one where a guy gave “it” to a girl.
I hope she sees a doctor soon!

System of a down

If you go into tactics, then the main reason for the weaker performance of the Me 109 probably was the weak bombers of the germans. I mean, the only planes capable of defending the He 111 or -even worse- Ju 78 was not the bombers themselves but their escorts. So, if the germans had paid more attention to heavy bombers (something that Göring fortunately did not understand), these could have take care for themselves longer and the escorts would have had time to watch their own back also.

I would agree with you F_alk, the Germans just followed different trains of thoughts with the British regarding the use of bombers after WWI. However, my point still stands, I have yet to see stats heavily favoring the 109 over the Spit. If you want to compare the Spit MK II vs the Bf-109 (the types that were used during the BoB), the MK II had speed and maneuverability over the 109 (though the 109 could outclimb the Spit).

@T_6:

. . . the people who had a terrible time?

They are divided into two main groups. First, there are those chosen
to visit and believe they had a bad time. Second there are those who believe they were born there and escaped, visited and were captured/tortured, or visited and saw terrible things. This second group
helps fund the control program. Some of the other groups that fund the
brainwashing are the Christian Children’s Fund, the ACLU. the NRA, and the American Red Cross. Of course the plan is so pervasive I only have clues to part of the plot. :P :wink:

“All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been
effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through luxury
of their parents, and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive.
But strong natures, backwoodsmen, New Hampshire giants, Napoleons,
Burkes, Broughams, Websters, Kossuths, are inevitable patriots, until
their life ebbs, and their defects and gout, palsy and money, warp them.”

Thank you for those words of bias.
