Weren't the Belgian forts captured by glider-borne troops rather than paratroops? I know Eban Emael was.
Simon, I made my statement as a debating point. Besides, any attack on Dublin would likely have been accidental. The Germans were extremely...
Such incidents happen in wartime, sadly enough, and more often than a lot of people realize.
That's true even today. It would cost so much to scrap the US Navy's old supercarriers that they will all likely be scuttled instead. With the...
I'll go with the .45 M1911A1 then. :wink:
True enough, but would dying of starvation over a period of months (as the USN and USAAF proposed) or in the fighting accompanying an American...

True enough. Nothing made by humans is going to be perfect.
Yeah, really! The original artist did a much better job with this song. BTW, I forgot his name; can anyone tell me who he was?
Well, for one thing, their engines either don't function or have been removed. Kinda hard to visit another country when you don't have a power...
