May really wasn't possible for a number of reasons. Bear in mind the scale and scope of the planning, preparing and deployments of Operation...
Might I recommend financing the semi-MP40? That way you don't need to sell anything, much less an 1870 EK. Maybe sell off the more common stuff...
I think to answer this you need to look at what the Japanese role would have to be in order to have significant enough of a strategic impact to...
My understanding of the rationals that lead to the start of the war as you put it is that the Nazi govenment's agenda was clear enough to the...
No, not really: "How different would things have been if the Italian Armies were on equal footing as the German Warmachine in regards to a...
The Heer as it was in 1939 through Stalingrad was a more or less non-political element in German politics and had nothing to do with making or...
