By late 1940 Britain alone was outproducing Germany in terms of most major military systems despite a much smaller population and economy, In 1940, you ditched all your equipment on the beaches of Dunkirk and had little more than the Home Guard to protect you from invasion. Your armor was garbage just like your ships and the Kreigsmarine only needed around 300 U-boats to choke your little nation to death WITHOUT a need to invade. You brag about production while accepting massive handouts from the US that saved your sorry ass... pardon me for laughing my ass off! Then the Fuhrer attacked Russia - STOOPID ALL Germans would agree with you there... still they did launch the world's greatest land invasion in history and would have made it to Moscow had they not been bogged down in the earlier offensive in the Balkans bailing out the Italians. Then after defeat, your VICTORIOUS and SUPERIOR armies raped the entire German nation for all of its technology ensuring postwar victories without any real effort on your part to develop them yourself... in areas so unimportant as say... aviation and space technology... just to name two! The USA had better jet aircraft in 1945 than Germany did The late model Meteor was faster than the Me-262 and far more reliable. The Germans never did get their engines to work for more than 25 hours while the Rolls Royce engines in the Meteor were good for 2000 Huh, really? That's why the US engineers asked the GERMANS for advice on the future of jet engine development. The Germans told them axial-flow was the future even though the US/UK chose to toy around with centrifugal dead-end jet engines for years afterwards and even still continued producing PROP AIRCRAFT! The Germans in 1945 had the world's greatest engine the DB 109-016 @ 28,652 lb st and the world's first afterburning engine the Jumo 004E. Of course Germany lack the strategic materials necessary for higher quality coonstruction of jet engines but they also had synthetics developed under a time of round-the-clock bombing; nevertheless, THEY introduced two jet fighters, a jet bomber, a rocket figheter, and had two supersonic designs under construction- the Lp DM-1 demonstrator for the Lp P.13 and the DFS 346 (which flew Mach 1 in the USSR postwar). Germany never managed to build a succesful heavy bomber, the USA had 3 types in service and the B-36 under development That's Hitler's fault for cancelling any four-engined type. Germany could have built the Me-264, Ju 390, and a wide range of jet bomber projects that HEAVILY influenced postwar designs. If you think not then buy "Luftwaffe Secret Projects, Strategic Bombers 1939-1945". The NACA in the USA was alreay working on swept wing technology in 1945\ And everyone knows Germany's windtunnel data on the swept-wing (in all configurations) was far more valuable than anything the Allies had under development. I'm surprised how stupid you are to mention that at all. Von Braun acknowledged that all his work was built on the foundations laid by Goddard. .... and Oberth, who proposed rocket artillery as far back as WW1! The rocket engines used in the X planes post war were designed by Goddard's team and were far BETTER and more reliable than those in the Me-163 Yet the US stole the X-15 configuration/concept from the Peenemunde EMW A6 and the US NEVER fielded a rocket fighter, making the Me-163 Komet unique in air combat history. Then there is the fiasco that was the German nuclear project. Which is the entire basis for the US rush to develop it's own bomb. Germans got a bad deal with bad graphite- thank God for that. Yet the Germans also were smart enough to realize that nuclear power could be used for other purposes too: radiological weapons, a nuclear power reactor, and for use in submarines long before Nautilus was built. They also realized than an atom bomb coulb be mounted on a missile and launched from sea (Prufstand XII container). The myth of German technical superiority is just that. No, hundreds of thousands of captured technical documents stored at Wright Field in 1946 prove you wrong. The US Govt even was "low" enough to sell non-classified technical documents to other nations for cash- including the USSR! And if German technology is just a myth then why is 85% of America's arsenal derived from German weapons from WW1 and WW2? Why do we even use their tactics and wear their helmets? Rob Keith |

Your armor was garbage just like your ships and the Kreigsmarine only needed around 300 U-boats to choke your little nation to death WITHOUT a need to invade. Reality check The armour was repaced within a few months The Kriegsmarine was mostly sunk or battered into submission and failed to choke us into submission On the other hand all sea communications into Germany were effectively blocked You brag about production while accepting massive handouts from the US that saved your sorry ass... pardon me for laughing my ass off! We still outproduced Germany and the fliers of the Luftwaffe werent laughing about the RAF shooting their asses out of the sky Then the Fuhrer attacked Russia - STOOPID ALL Germans would agree with you there... still they did launch the world's greatest land invasion in history and would have made it to Moscow had they not been bogged down in the earlier offensive in the Balkans bailing out the Italians. Bull****, the start date for Barabarossa was impacted by the winter flooding of the Polish river valleys. This is just another bad excuse.

The UK had 3 countem 3 Axial flow engines in development and centrifugal engines of British design powered the Mig-15 and are still in use today. This is typical Luftwaffe 46 bull****. The British and Americans built machines that were cheap , reliable and WORKED. The Nazis built exploding phallic sysmbols Guess who wins when that happens The Germans in 1945 had the world's greatest engine the DB 109-016 @ 28,652 lb st and the world's first afterburning engine the Jumo 004E. None of which were actually producible Of course Germany lack the strategic materials necessary for higher quality coonstruction of jet engines but they also had synthetics developed under a time of round-the-clock bombing; nevertheless, THEY introduced two jet fighters, a jet bomber, a rocket figheter, and had two supersonic designs under construction- the Lp DM-1 demonstrator for the Lp P.13 and the DFS 346 (which flew Mach 1 in the USSR postwar). Sketches on the back of an envelope dont count, note however the Canberra was an design of the same era that DID go into production and which is still in service Germany never managed to build a succesful heavy bomber, the USA had 3 types in service and the B-36 under development That's Hitler's fault for cancelling any four-engined type.

Well nobody else was stupid enough to build an aircraft that was more dangerous to its pilot than the enemy to be sure Then there is the fiasco that was the German nuclear project. Which is the entire basis for the US rush to develop it's own bomb. Germans got a bad deal with bad graphite- thank God for that.

And if German technology is just a myth then why is 85% of America's arsenal derived from German weapons from WW1 and WW2? It isnt, Germany buys US aircraft. Why do we even use their tactics and wear their helmets? Well you may wear a Nazi uniform and pretend to be a stormtrooper but I dont. Keith |

Leonidas knew about the goat path that would allow bad guys
to get behind him but didnt send reliable sentries to watch it. DOH ! He would be defeated anyway,but a little bit later maybe . The Confederates were disorganised and inept, hell they couldnt agree on ANYTHING, so every army they fielded was a quartermasters nightmare with a dozen different types of personal weapon and no commonality in uniforms. This latter led to Confederates Excellent description plus they faced a 4,5 times bigger opponent. So why mighty union needed four years to defeat a such incompetent ragtop opponents and lost more soldiers than incompetent and poor Confederates ?. BTW,Among confederate foot soldiers there were many sons of southern dynasties and they together with the sons of less priveledged families fought wars even without shoes till the bitter end. Confederates were truly Aristocrats and Knights of North America. The Germans in WW2 were so convined of their natural superiority over the untermencshen that were their enemies that they didnt merely content themselves with fighting on 2 fronts like their Fathers in WW1 but opened hostilities in the Mediterranean and Balkans But every time to contain and defeat Germans you needed to create a "Global Alliance" of countless nations and countries. As far as I know GB did not need a global alliance to subdue Boers which tells something about the caliber of Germans. |

Sure we would , and Bugs Bunny would be the next Fuhrer
Well,it would be very hard to call a nuclear explosion a "gas exlosion" to say at least. Thats your fantasy, I dont share it. Fine Well since Britain received more under Marshall Aid than Germany that must make us more advanced. Did I ever say "Britain is less advanced" or "Britain is only an advanced country not an advanced nation" ? |

And everyone knows Germany's windtunnel data on the swept-wing (in all
configurations) was far more valuable than anything the Allies had under development. I'm surprised how stupid you are to mention that at Well,not only swept wing but also swing wing concept too. Truth is, post WWII US designers blindly copied almost everything with a German label. This blind copying fury yielded good results many times,but not always. The best known examle of copying not gone very well is F-111. |

Trouble is they couldnt actually build either
If occupation of Germany delayed by 6 months Newyorkers and Londoners could see the proof ,fully assembled. The whole purpose of Normany Landing is to occupy Germany before completion of S weapons . It isnt, Germany buys US aircraft. And US calls some stolen technology UFOs. |

And yet within a few months we had thirty divisions tooled up and ready. (Where *was* that German invasion? Oh, right, too scared of the Royal Navy to come across. Imagine Eisenhower trying to plan D-Day, with the major British ports unusable because of enemy bombing and shelling, Kriegsmarine units operating freely in the Channel, and over a tenth of the invasion shipping sunk as it was mustering...) Your armor was garbage just like your ships Ah, yes, those inferior ships. The ones that either sank the Kriegsmarine or sent it cowering to port. and the Kreigsmarine only needed around 300 U-boats to choke your little nation to death WITHOUT a need to invade. So why didn't they do it? Oh, yeah, they couldn't. You brag about production while accepting massive handouts from the US that saved your sorry ass... pardon me for laughing my ass off! Meanwhile, the Germans nobly ignored the tank factories of Czechoslovakia, the arms works of Liege, the mines and forges of France...? ALL Germans would agree with you there... still they did launch the world's greatest land invasion in history and would have made it to Moscow had they not been bogged down in the earlier offensive in the Balkans bailing out the Italians. Napoleon did better - he actually *took* Moscow. Still didn't win him the war, though. -- He thinks too much: such men are dangerous. Julius Caesar I:2 Paul J.
