What does your name mean?

Number 4 from the top is Soviet Marshal Aleksandr Vasilevsky.

Monty Python got some good alliterative mileage out of that term in their movie “And Now For Something Completely Different.”  One sequence in the movie is a fake WWII British newsreel, in black and white, with suitably bombastic narration that includes the opening line “Yes, the war against the Hun continues – and as Britian’s brave boys battle against the Boche…”  By the standards of genuine WWII newsreels, that’s actually not as over-the-top as it sounds to modern ears.  And during a real WWII deception operation, the fake letter from General Nye to General Alexander which was the centrepiece of the “Mincemeat” disinformation scheme used such phrases as “We have had recent information that the Boche have been reinforcing and strengthening their defences in Greece and Crete…”

Yes, the other name was Desert One, but Eagle Claw is also used interchangeably.  My mistake.

allways trying to sqeeze him self back…tz tz tz

Theres millions of ideas out there. I call my platoon my Mates, Dawgz, Niggaz, Homes, Bros, Battlebuddys, Dudes, Bitches, KAC (KickAssCrew) etc.

Soldat is a title of a book written by a German Soldier who was a member of the General Staff and was a prisoner in Russia.  Read it, too.

Mine came about with my love for military history and picking sides in wargames that lost in history. Thus WARAXIS.
