Tested successfully on military aircraft in World War II.

Thank you for the information. Korean War is truly the forgotten war.

@pfc_pander: I enjoy reading anything I can about Saipan in the Mariana Islands.  My grandfather was a BAR man apart of the marines 2nd division.  He died when I was about 10 and he never liked to talk much about it.  So anytime I can learn something about Saipan I jump at the chance.  If anyone has any recommendations for any books about the 2nd marines on Saipan I would greatly appreciate it. This movie… http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0284200/ …includes colour footage of the Battle of Saipan (wartime Kodachrome footage, not computer-colorized black and white footage).

@Gargantua: Where’s the option for Patton redeploying SS and Wehrmacht troops and whooping soviet but all the way to Moscow?!?! That would take some reorganization and wouldn’t take place until 1946. German units would need armed, reformed and equipped. Would the British and French allow a German Army rebuilt? How would the communist in Europe react to a “workers war” of liberation.?

Guilt or innocence is a hard thing to quantify, so im not even going to touch that part of it, but on the waging a war of aggression, I can comment. I dont think it is a crime to wage a war of aggresion, atleast not one they should hang you for. It is said that when a country wages it is only justified in doing so in defense of itself. How do you quantify something like that though? Japan felt that the US was threating it, threating to cut it off from needed raw materials and strangle their country. Japan felt that they were acting in defense of themselves by attacking the US and the allies, were they wrong? Jodl was a career solider, raising in the ranks and working his way to the top. He was no different from the 1,000s of other men who did the same thing, spent their life in the military, and did what they were ordered to do. In a totalitarian state like Nazi Germany one man and his cloest cronied have total control on everything the state does. Jodl wasnt one of them, and he had very limited control over what the German armies did or where they went, that rested with Hitler and his thugs. Hitler told Jodl what he wanted done, and Jodl was left to figure out how to go about it. To have expected him to disobey Hitlers would have been expecting him to commit suicide.

I’m in complete agreement with my fellow U-boat commander. Very nice, thanks for sharing.

What if there were secret plans and an alien craft on the cruiser? Government conspiracy.

@CWO-Marc said in UK World War Two Bombing Site Map: German bombers attacked the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh on 16 October 1939. The last raid was a V2 rocket attack near Iwade in Kent on 29 March 1945. Thanks for the interesting link! The map seems to be offline right now ‘due to high demand’, but the data can still be accessed. And indicate that the first ‘attack’ actually consisted of two unexploded shells on 6 September 1939. Also, the last raid was actually a V1 according to: https://www.flickr.com/photos/22124479@N03/5001363807 The Wikipedia article on the V1 has Datchworth as its final British target, however. And the dataset lists 7 attacks on that day, apparently listing Datchworth as ‘Batchworth’.

Lol yes Gar. “So the Germans can march in the shade”
