I guess I was unclear about my point. Yes, definitely England's war was all about naval operations, but considering England's vast navy any...
Germany's supplies originated in Germany (already on the continent)whereas the Allies had the task of getting the supplies to the continent first,...
From every source I've read I'm not aware of a single thing the Allies could have done to speed up the supplies. Monty dawdled in getting the...
Was it Stalin who said,"Quantity has a quality all its' own"?
I'd say IS-2 before IS-1. Either way, I don't think the Russians ever concerned themselves with crew survivability (if penetrated) as much as the...
