@suprise:

I like Stalag 17 and think it should be in the top 10

Love “Stalag 17” top 10 probably for me. Not ‘the best’ though.

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.

If you want to check out some real German airplane projects try www.luft46.com  that guy has compiled everything from diagrams to pics to photos of real models and test planes.

yea, logistics are the backbone of any military. and generals will tell you “amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics”, but all told, it only takes a general to manage logistics because of the specialized nature of the military. otherwise, anyone with those kind of planning and organizational skills could do it.

@F_alk:

especially explaining stones by english pounds… i just wonder that you must have taken the “imperial” as coming from the US and not from the british empire … i thought only liberals think that the US could be called imperial

Now I’m confused…I thought that the U.S. system of measurement came from England…and why did they change to metrics in the first place? Besides the fact that it’s easier… :wink:

Also I wanted to add that if you are desperate, get heavies, and start buying bombers. THEN your enemies will try to destroy them at all costs, and since you are desperate and building 15 ipc units that defend at one die roll of one (or less :wink:), you won’t be able to defend them very well.
