Japan Unveils Largest Warship Since WWII

Re: your comment  about the war not being  over: I forgot that too!
Thank you for the story about the “turtle ships” and their Nelson like Admiral’s demise.

@Imperious:

Never watch it should fix the problem :mrgreen:

Now after seeing the movie tonight, that would be a mistake. Star Trek is alive.

Saints and Soldiers or A bridge to far

Lets pretent Hitler was never born and the Weimar was in power.

As soon as you do that all events which follow change, so you can no longer use the same history for the hypothesis, since all of the events that followed were dependent on Hitler. No Hitler = no 1939 invasion of Poland. Other events maybe, but not the same. For all we know if Hitler hadn’t been born, Germany may have been invaded by Russia and the cold war may have been between a German victor and the US.

Hypothesis and theorizing aside: Germany was defeated in North Africa and Stalingrad at the end of 1942 / the start of 1943. At that point any chance of an Axis victory was lost (the Japanese were also experiencing reversals of fortune in the Pacific). The causes for the loss may have started earlier, but that’s when the problems created earlier became physical fact.

… also they did not have an affective way to kill russian supply lines…the soviets did…

I’m not sure of the ground war (though the Germans were heavily outnumbered at the time and barely trying to hold their own), but the German U-Boat fleet really crippled Russia-British shipping for awhile in the Archangel area.

He might of been refering to our huge garrison in Germany.
