My dog escaped and was hit. He is in surgery. No broken bones but some major internal work. I was curious if any of you chaps could help.

This is my current read.

I’m reading a biography on Eisenhower.

This book suggests after the end of the Tunisia Campaign and before the invasion of Sicily that the Monarchy of Italy contacted Allied HQ about defecting from the Axis.

A plan was drawn up where the 82nd would drop into Rome and help secure the city and Italian government.

How would this have played out?

@Witt Many of those machines are death traps.

Which tank of the Spanish Civil War is your first pick? I have been studying this conflict. M

Renault FT

L3/35

T-26

Panzer I

BT-5

FIAT 3000

T-28

Char D Assault

Vickers Six Ton Mark E

Do any of you build plastic war models? I’m picking up the hobby.

I’m trying to get my paint knowledge better. I painted an Oscar (Ki-43 Japanese Army Fighter) that ended up looking like a FW-190. I was disappointed.

@Witt said in Pick your Battle of Britain fighter:

Has always been the 109E for me, probably slightly disappointing my loving RAF grandad!

The 109 is the most dangerous looking of the Battle of Britain fighters.

@ABWorsham4

His role as Dillon In Predator is my top role of his. He was part of the dream team hunting an Alien Trophy Hunter in the jungle. That made 13 year old me super excited.

@vodot Love that show!

It was a gut punch hearing that Carl Weathers passed away today.
What role comes to mind when you think of his characters?

@SuperbattleshipYamato said in Mussolini Invades Ethiopia:

An interesting thing to consider would be the political implications. Had Italy not invaded Ethiopia, it might have been less likely for them to join the Axis, since the war was a big part of breaking Anglo-Italian relations.

Great point.

@SuperbattleshipYamato Can you imagine flying over the Channel in an Italian bi-plane?

I have started building WW2 models. It’s got me researching weapon systems.

If you had to choose your TOP pick and LAST choice in fighter aircraft that participated in the Battle of Britain, which aircraft do you pick?

Spitfire

Hurricane

Me-109

Me-110

Defiant

Fiat G.50 Freccia

Fiat CR.42 Falco

Bristol Blenheim

Gloster Gladiat

Did the huge cost of funds and resources used in invading Ethiopia and supporting the Nationalist in Spain by ruin any chances that Italy could be ready for any European conflict in 1940?

Let’s face it, Italy went to war with an Army and Air fleet that was equipped for a 1928-32 conflict.

Thoughts?

@Midnight_Reaper
Have not heard from him. A lot of these accounts go silent for long periods of time. I always wonder how these people are doing.

Glad you are checking on him.

@Jermofoot Heck Yeah!!! Bringing back the old band.

World War Two: From the Frontline

This documentary is trash. Example: Poland, Germany invades, no mention of the Red Army invading from the East.

This documentary makes the B.E.F out driving Bren gun Carriers as main battle tanks.

This is high definition rubbish.

@Imperious-Leader

Where did Jermofoot go? He was an active member and great to chat with. I wonder where some of these people are now.

@SuperbattleshipYamato Impressive

@SuperbattleshipYamato Yes, please. You have my attention.
