No , i'm talking about the german tank section. if you open Panzerjager marder 2 , the third pic shows a Stug 3 and a Nashorn but there is not a Marder to been seen
Well, the pictures are all submitted by Joe Public, so there is bound to be one or two mixed up... :cry: PS: how the heck can you tell that that is a Nashorn not a Marder? You must have a damn good eye for detail!
Thanks The stug 3 is easy to recognize but if you look at the nashorn/marder 2 You'll see that there is a amoured slab sticking up from the gun shield because the gun is elevated. The marder had a gunshield which was solid with out moving parts in the shield itself.
All too true. Worse, here in America, history is very poorly taught in the public schools. Where it is taught at all, that is... :angry:
Well, the Ultimate Nightmare would be to end up with 300 million people in a rich and powerful country who don't know a bloody thing about their own history.
It may turn into that yet. Many in this country want multiculturalism taught in the schools, despite the fact that this would lead to even less being taught about our history and culture.
While it is essential to know you own history, it is also wise to understant a little bit about other countries' culture and history, this way we won't be accused of charging blindly into other countries and "interfere" with their domestic affairs.
I understand that, liang. But those who preach multiculturalism pretty much want that to completely replace the teaching of American history, and I cannot agree with that.
Besides, one of the big points of History is that it *should* teach multiculturalism (if taught properly).
Two things in history teaching cannot be mated: mixing an amount of nationalism into your national history teaching, and simultaneously trying to teach multi-culturanism. Because the first will always conflict with the other. So history will only teach multi-culturanism if it is free of nationalism.
I remember I did a year of the industial revolution in school. Granted an important period but it bored me silly. Problem is History is such a broad subject it is very difficult to do in any meaningful manor. Perhaps it would be better if schools gave a broad over view of the events that shaped your country. I have found that some times the most interesting bits of military history can be what happen off the battlefield. I was reading Castles of Steel a while back and found it very interesting to see the politics and events that made the disaster at the battle of Coronel (1914) inevitable.
Tell me about it! The industrial revolution, or more precisely, the industrial revolution applied to the cotton industries of Lancashire, was one of the two subjects for my final exams. Never again! :angry:
A shame really, because the Industrial Revolution actually had a HUGE effect on the entire world, and completely cahnged everything. And most people just equate it with Lancashire cotton mils and deep deep bordom. I did an essay comparing British armoured warfare in WW1 and WW2...
Yes, well, the essay work was fun. I did one on the Ardennes offensive and another on the tactical value of the North-West Europe campaign. But the rest was obligatory. Like Lancashire. Aah! I'm wearing cotton! AAAAH! Sorry folks, but I am NEVER going to visit anything in Lancashire.
most of the English think Yorkshire folk are biggoted ......... that would mean we think we are better than everyone else. That is simply not true ......... we know we are better than everyone else. LOL :lol:
