I would imagine the the top deck armor on modern tanks would be maybe the only place a WW2-era gun would have a chance of any penetration- which...
As usual, some great info there. From what I can see, the HVSS Sherman was introduced around July '44- so I'm guessing the Shermans before that...
Very neat stuff! Oil leaking- interesting. As you note, I'd heard this about the pre-Evo harley motors, but that reputation did seem to focus on...
Ooops, thanks for the merge, Brn. Not sure how I missed your thread! Much like the photo slideshow sniper posted a while back of Sherman tanks...
Apologies if this has already been posted and I missed it. Boeing tearing down historic Plant 2 - Yahoo! News Guess time catches up with...
See what I get for taking a weekend off, I miss a whole 3 pages. But this bit from TA did stand out, and it is an interesting...
Seems Kai is spot-on here. Not really that Hitler "refused" winter uniforms and clothing for the German troops, but more a matter of said winter...
Interesting- given the rep for reliability on the BMW bikes, one might think HD would have pursued that "version" a bit further. I've heard the...
I was poking around for some maps as well, and figured I'd add a link I came across: A European Anabasis: Maps A bit tough to read here and...
Very cool photos- it continues to amaze me how many artifacts people uncover in the Hurtgen area! Question, and this likely just demonstrates the...
Great German beers, some delicious looking bar-type foods... I'm glad I posted this! 'Course, I'm also mysteriously hungry and thirsty all of a...
Hmm, we don't really talk about tanks and such around here. ;) Interesting idea to create a category soley for "most influential". Though for...
Very cool stuff. Nice to see HD nodding back to the war years. Though... I wonder about the "chopped and bobbed" line. I would think that most...
Thanks for the info all around, gents. Any more ideas, keep'em coming- going to be a little while before the next book purchase! :cheers:
I'm trying to make my posts in the FFZ, this thread or otherwise, minimal. The great stuff on this site is about WW2. But...Wow. Every now and...
While the Eastern campaign, late war, and armor and weapons are my main gig, the Battle for the Atlantic and the U-Boats have always fascinated...
Carl- you, cause trouble? You're the most harmless person around here! ;) Erich- you and Ulrich, making me jealous. I had a Hacker-Pschorr...
I heard about this one... Beer is great. Fried things tend to be great as well. But- there are some places where a line has to be drawn. I'm...
Ulrich, it's not quite that bad. We do get some of the good ones- Weinstephaner, Erdinger, Ayinger, Aecht Schlenkerla, and a decent number of...
Great stuff! Some very neat images in there. Can't say that stat surprises me per se, but it's damn impressive nonetheless. Apparently the US...
