Rubbish. Soldiers from all over the empire were needed to subdue a
handful of Boers. The only difference between Germans and Boers is numbers. Boers are top-quality fighters. Tough as nails. True,Boer war a foretaste what was coming as Boers,unlike populations british colonies,were continrntal Europeans. But still British managed to subdue Boers without help from US,USSR etc. Soldiers all over empire were obviously present during both world wars. |

Note that in neither WW1 nor WW2 did Germany fight on its
own. In WW1 it allied with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Turkey. In WW2 its allies included Italy, Rumania, Hungary and Bulgaria Care to name British allies including British colonies? The Boers were rather fewer in number than Germans Surely,but Brits proved to be hardly capable of dealing with a such opponent,in spite of long and glorious colonial experience. BTW wo were those Boers,an African.Indian or Arab tribe maybe? Not to mention slavemasters Weren't Greeks and Romans too slavemasters? |

The Germans never achieved criticality in a reactor.
Yeah right,I am sure you have never heard location names like Klein-Machnow,Lichterfelde,Pilsen,Kummersdorfthe places that even Hitler's personal bodyguard Engel was not allowed to enter and escort Hitler inside. If you think Germans never achived criticality then you must ask US government "where Hiroshima and Nagazaki bombs came from?" |

Remember the "Bismark"? or the "Tirpitz"? or any other German
ship of WWII? That little Navy with "garbage" for ships sank virtually all of them. And, despite your parroting of Nazi propaganda, the UK was never in danger of "choking". Also note that the UK produced Do you remember PoW and Repulse or Yamato ? After Mitchell demo it was clear that the fate of Battleship was sealed but all navies and Admirals continued to order them,they were their "showboats". I am sure if US had used battleships the way they supposed to be used,like Brits,Germans and Japsen and forgat new threats, above list might include names like New Jersey etc. |

No, history doesn't bother me like it does you. You are the loon that
keeps trying to assert that the US ruled forever and invented everything. You can't admit that most of our modern a/c, designs, and space program came from the Reich. It's a fact pal and the German You are forgetting something,in US image is eveything,on other hand in central European cultures substance and thinking are highly valued commodities. The most powerful image maker of US is also most powerful weapon of US,namely Hollywood. But in an era when the knowledge and information are available to almost everyone at real time and almost at no cost ,everybody can see that the "King is naked" in spite of rhe efforts of image makers. Of course,the similarities with Guetenberg's printing press are purely coincidental. |

If you pick a fight with 14 ordinary guys,you get beaten up at the end,even if you were Mike Tyson. |

In article , Kevin Brooks
writes "Peter Twydell" wrote in message ... In article , robert arndt writes snip Rob p.s. Can't wait for the two pinheads to chime in too- Keith Willshaw and Al Minyard. Is it any wonder that many people regard the Germans as arrogant? Actually, Arndt is (sadly) a USian--I doubt modern Germans would accept the likes of him over there, being apparently quite a bit smarter in their usual interpretation of WWII events and developments than he exhibits. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck,... Brooks Brooks Rob -- Peter Ying tong iddle-i po! -- Peter Ying tong iddle-i po! |

Not offhand but the fact that we were rather better at recruiting allies than Germany reflects rather well on the diplomatic aspects of the war. The Boers were rather fewer in number than Germans Surely,but Brits proved to be hardly capable of dealing with a such opponent,in spite of long and glorious colonial experience.
