If the Pershing was considered underpowered, wouldn't the Panther be six feet under in terms of mechanical overstress?...
...Because military training is the only way to learn how to use a full-powered rifle, right? Places like Afghanistan have been war zones on and...
I don't know about that. Modern warfare involves a lot of asymmetry, especially nowadays. If you lack the ability/funds/industry to project heavy...
You didn't exactly address his point, though. We're at an impasse, so I'm dropping this.
It's either you confused three tangents, or I have no idea what you are saying. Probably all, with #2 being accentuated. ...Let me get this...
You misread his post, I think. He doesn't like the general because the general's rationale for dropping the bomb was...strange. He doesn't have an...
I know about the Ostfront "volunteers". Stephen Ambrose puts their numbers at 1 per 6 Germans on the Western Front right before D-Day (he isn't...
Omaha beach was staffed by Russian defectors? Since when?
According to Fire in the Sky, the standard Japanese formation was called the shotai. It was a variant on the Vic (3-plane formation) used by most...

I see. But I'm still confused as to the armor tables posted on the Internet. So far as I can tell, the 76mm HVAP could penetrate around 130mm at...
This webpage has been copied from the following site: U.S. Army Firing Test of 76mm & 17pdr - World War II Zone Forums I'll highlight the...
Nice list. But it seems very incomplete for some reason...I can't put my finger on it why, but it just does. Organic support may be one reason,...
To everyone who responded, thank you for the information.
Does anyone have an approximate list of how many friendly vehicles were killed by friendly planes? You see, someone just told me this: "Funny...
There's a difference between racism and historical accuracy. Even the people on these forums forget the lines (both ways) too often. I'm not sure...
This is a difficult question to answer. Aside from the obvious that it was a big war that affected 20-21st century history, I guess I can try......
I wasn't aware that Germany lost so many skilled workers in 1942, I'm glad that that was brought up. As for the cost of a Panther tank, is that a...
