Are you thinking Yunnan? Or which Chinese terr? India could be aiding China by ground UK2/3.

Recently read a match in which Zhukov flew German strat bomber to Horn of Africa, to Japanese-occupied Sumatra, to facility-filled FIC. Just curious how many other players fly a European strat bomber to help Japan with undefended transport kills, destroyer blockers, etc.? Something like G2 non-com from sz 97(after crushing brits, assuming Taranto) to any of the three terr. touching sz 76, to sumatra. Of course, this route is only available if brits don’t use bid to crush ethiopia UK1 and if bomber is adequately defended throughout journey. Is this a common move and is it a useful one?

I like Letters from Iwo Jima. Action is present and Japaneese perspective is interesting.

@Narvik:

@Colt45:

Communism- Came to power by murdering the Tsar of Russia.
Backed primarily by international Jewry and many leaders were themselves Jewish(I bring up Jewish info because this is pertinent to Hitler’s distrust of them and eventual internment of them).
Atheistic.

This is where I get off your bus. How can a man be both a Jew and an Atheist at the same time ? If commies are atheists that are against religion, why would them label themselves as Jews, Christians or Islamists ? And if #international Jewry# (is this even a word ?) did in fact back Communism, as you claim, then why did Sovjet union not back Israel ? How come it was the Christian President Truman that backed the establishment of Israel in 1948, and not the, according to you, the Jew loving commies ? Just curious

I am referring to racial Jews(Khazars). Trotsky was one of the racially Jewish leaders. He clearly did not promote the peaceful aspects of the Jewish faith. The Soviet Union did tangibly supply the military entity that seized Arab citrus and olive groves in the northwestern coast of Palestine in 1948.

Truman’s presidential campaign had nearly ran out of funds until Zionists provided two million dollars to continue his campaign. Regarding him being “Christian”, would a Christian support the Palestinian Genocide of 1948 to set up a new “homeland” for the Jews? No, no real Christian would(I am NOT claiming he’s Jewish, only that that act is a gross subversion of God’s laws). But, he had obligations because of the financial support he had received, similar to today’s lobbying in Congress, to support Zionist ambitions. And why would a Jewish state even be necessary after the Germans had been crushed?

It’s not a matter of Commies and capitalists, it’s a good old-fashioned case of money talks. Whether people recognize it or not, the richest men in the world happen to be racial Jews(Rockefeller, Rothschild).
To people claiming I’m racist: All peoples have evil among their ranks whether it be Western Europeans, Africans, Asians, or Jews. I’m not claiming any one of those is inherently evil as THAT is racist and false.

Six corporations own 90% of United States media(Warner, etc.) and plays a massive role in what “history” is. Let’s be respectful and not brand someone racist or having an unsound mind when he/she disagrees with that 90%.

Thank you for being respectful with your question, Narvik

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah, ABS sounds like a bit of a factor for you guys. Did she not brake with rear and front in that particular case? F4I with 16k sounds like a good deal but yeah sounds like a good plan to save up and test drive RR in meantime

Lolol IL dont tell anyone

Wolf, I’d be happy to discuss that aspect. I will start with a link which delves right into it. http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v14/v14n1p-4_Weber.html

Colt45554

I apologize in advance for bumping an old thread. I’m new and don’t know just how taboo that is. No disrespect is intended in any of my following statements. Contrary to what many will think, I am not racist. I am not anti-Jewish.

I agree with very many of Kurt’s statements except those regarding the “Holocaust”. I will try to refute a couple of IL’s and, to a lesser degree, Narvik’s statements. If anyone demands it, I will try to find sources for disputed points, but I will rely on memory otherwise. i will also give my interpretation of the topic discussion.

National Socialism- Came to power through democratic election, despite Hitler’s generally unfavorable view of Democracy. Germany happened to use a dictatorship but that isn’t necessary to the ideology. Belief that the Individual should contribute to the country because he wants and because it is beneficial for all. Believed that all races should take pride and retain their unique cultures and traits. Believed people should not mix as their evolutionary differences provide advantages and disadvantages in different climates(example, 97% of United States African-Americans are Vitamin D deficient because their ancestors adapted to extreme sunlight and can no longer absorb as much from the less intense North American sunshine). Hitler loved the German race and wanted to see it thrive and once again be a proud people. It promoted traditional family values. It opposed homosexuality that was so rampant in Berlin. In fact, the heavily Jewish-owned film industry produced some of the first homosexual scenes. Germany was in a massive depression. Under National Socialism, in 12 years, Germany became the NUMBER ONE leader in medicine, technology, and science. Hitler’s innovative policies revived Germany, in spite of the extremely influential international Jews “declaring war” on Germany via boycott(in 1934 i believe), even the New York Times reported this. Interestingly, despite being bombed to oblivion and losing on all fronts, the Germans never even got close to attempting a revolt against the government in power, such was their love and faith in Hitler and National Socialism.

Communism- Came to power by murdering the Tsar of Russia. Backed primarily by international Jewry and many leaders were themselves Jewish(I bring up Jewish info because this is pertinent to Hitler’s distrust of them and eventual internment of them). Atheistic. Believes in an enormously powerful federal government with a dictator. Total control of industry, harvests, etc. Murders own citizens en masse(Stalin’s gulags, Ukrainian genocide, and Mao’s killing of some 84 million of his Chinese). Don’t know much else about it, honestly, which is in large part because I hate stuff I do know about it. Generally, Stalin was hated by his citizens.

Onto IL’s and Kurt’s debate/argument

Poland
Germany was not some rabid dog wanting to gobble up territory. It was re-claiming German territory pre-WWI where in many cases the ethnic Germans were being mistreated(Czechoslovakia) or murdered(Poland). The stripping of German lands to Poland resulted in many Germans being vulnerable to the Polish government’s and citizens mistreatment. Furthermore, Danzig was now cut off from Germany via land. The blockade prevented adequate commute and supply routes via the Baltic. Thousands and thousands were killed before and during the onset of the German invasion. I don’t know how valid this is but I have read that Poland was planning offensives against Germany, having been promised aid from UK. Poland refused to seriously consider Germany’s proposal to allow a land route to Danzig. It also ignored the demands that they stop incurring on ethnic Germans’ lands and subsequently shooting them. Hitler invaded to save those Germans. UK and France then declare war on GE while refusing to do so when Soviet Union invades Poland, which is… odd, to say the least, no?

Bombing
Yes, IL, Germany sent bombers. They did not carpet bomb. They did not fire bomb which resulted in countless number of humans being incinerated while huddled up in Dresden, of which there was no military significance.

As with nearly every war in history, all sides committed atrocities. I contend that Germany committed far fewer than each major Allied power minus probably France.

I’ll pause here and see if anyone is interested in continuing discussion. I wouldnt mind starting a seperate thread although I fear that thread would approach forum rule-breaking. All input is very welcome. Thanks for the read.

@KurtGodel7:

Lists of this nature are seldom 100% accurate, and this list is no exception. On the one hand, I give the author credit for having dispelled a number of myths (such as carrots causing better night vision, Hitler having only one testicle, and Polish cavalry charging German tanks). On the other hand, the author apparently did little or no research before writing “myths” 5, 12, 24, and 29.

“Myth” 5: “Nazi Germany only invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 because the Soviets were about to invade Germany.”

This “myth” is actually true or probably true. Had the author read Suvorov’s (very well-researched, convincing) book, he would know that. A clear case of having dismissed something as a “myth” without having done his homework.

“Myth” 12: “President Roosevelt had advanced knowledge that Japan was going to attack Pearl Harbor, and allowed the attack to take place as a pretext for war.”

Fact: During the months leading up to Pearl Harbor, FDR embraced a two pronged strategy of escalating provocations against Japan and consistent refusal to negotiate in good faith with the Japanese. (Or even to meet with the Japanese prime minister at all, despite his repeated requests for a meeting.) That FDR wanted to provoke Japan into throwing the first punch is clear and obvious. That he knew the blow was coming is also obvious, in light of the fact that we had broken Japan’s diplomatic codes. Whether he expected to get hit at Pearl Harbor is more speculative.

The claim (#24): " Nobody knows how many died in total at the hands of the ‘gentleman soldiers’ of the German Army, but it could be as high as 10 million."

Fact: the 10 million number was apparently pulled out of thin air. That number is a propaganda claim, not a historical statement.

The claim (#29): “Also, six decades of use have found [fluoride] to be safe and extremely effective for whitening teeth.”

Fact: Fluoride is a neurotoxic byproduct from industrial processes (such as the production of fertilizer). Proper disposal of this toxic substance is expensive. Large corporations had the thought that, rather than pay money to dispose of their toxic waste, why not receive money from its disposal? They therefore conducted a massive publicity campaign to persuade the gullible public that fluoridation of the water supply is perfectly safe, and results in improved dental health. “Research” on the supposed safety of a fluoridated water supply was either not done at all, or was performed by groups funded by fluoride waste producers. On the back of any tube of fluoridated toothpaste, you will find the phone number for Poison Control, and instructions to call that number if toothpaste is swallowed. That is clear evidence that fluoride is toxic, and that those contaminating our water supply with it realize its toxicity.

Agree 100% with each point

Colt45554

Germany because of the SS’s elite training and morale stemming from their admirable mission to defend Europe from Bolshevism. Kurt is absolutely right about the Soviets planning to invade Europe, and yes, including Germany. This is why the Germans had such success at first by attacking a mere 2 weeks before the Soviets. All The Soviets’ airfields and other pertinent facilities and equipment was DIRECTLY behind the front lines in preparation for supporting the advancing army proceeding kilometers ahead. See Operation Groza(Thunderstorm). http://defence.pk/threads/operation-groza-soviet-invasion-of-western-europe-july-6-1941.293859/
Btw, the Germans would have won if they had implemented “total war” production practices that the British had done in 1940 and Soviet Union had done at the outbreak of hostilities with Germany. They did not do so until 1943 because they cared about citizens’ well-being and morale. This is why they were so far behind regarding equipment totals.
