Well, regardless of that, figures for the cost are given. T-34/76 Medium Tank 1941-45 - Google Books Realistically, nothing is free. Resources...
No, see, the point is, if we just use the RM -> $ conversion, and ignore the T34 completely. Then if we take 20RM per dollar, then a Tiger I tank...
It would also make the same Tiger tank under a third of the price of the M4 Sherman, BTW. The thing about production in 1990s was because they...
Yeah, these currency conversions are certainly difficult, and probably unreliable for the purpose that we're using them (which it, I guess, is...
Er, all that statement means is that the Roosevelt administration was unwilling to attack Japan pre-emptively, or consider prior Japanese actions...
This is an old debate, but the crux of the matter is: is it concievable that the Japanese would have surrendered anyway, without the bombs and...
Well, I'm just pointing out that it is very difficult to imagine a situation that involves Soviet excursions into Poland in the 20s and still...
I've dug up (and corrected, I think?) this: http://www.ww2f.com/weapons-wwii/30132-cost-ww2-weapons.html So yeah, in terms of price in T-34/85s,...
This is hugely late, but this is mistaken. First, the price in rubles is for the T-34/85. Secondly, if the ruble was pegged artificially low, and...
Googling, the author of this seems kinda infamous for his relentless self-promotion, and shall we say interesting opinions. Eagles Nest •...
Well, the Panther's suspension was very unreliable and overcomplicated as well. As for Christie suspension, I thought the whole point of the...
If the USSR was encroaching on Poland in 1920 (thereby signifying that they have a genuine interest in world revolution and all that), the West...
Eh. The Pershing wasn't exactly noted for its reliability. I don't really see why you'd think the torsion bar suspension system was particularly...
Well, it's slightly preferable to spitting at a panzer if you have nothing else to hand, I guess?
Well, the Japanese ended up throwing away the Yamato in a botched suicide attack, so I don't think making them think twice matters too much....
It's rather suspicious though when the nationalist government just coincidentally picks out the nationalist portions of the partisan movement to...
Don't forget that a battlegroup led by the famous Yamato itself was turned back with a bloody nose by a group of escort carriers. Really, by WWII,...
Rommel was a good tactician, but a mediocre strategist. And the Soviets were outwitted early anyway. It's not clear at all to me what good an...
People as far away from the Nazi party as possible. People to keep the genocidal maniac elements on a tight leash. If possible, the SS shouldn't...
No one is going to believe a single promise given by the major axis powers past 1939. Anyone can see that conceding a beachhead and entry to the...
