As I already noted in another post, please don't base your ideas for what the Germans could do based on the successes of the Japanese Navy. The Japanese Navy was so much better than the Luftwaffe at sinking ships that the comparison is ludicrous. ... Chris Manteuffel Pearl Harbor was an unexpected attack on close-packed stationary ships, inspired by the British success at Taranto. The Japanese weren't that good at bombing defended shipping at sea, Guadalcanal for example. One can assume that Spitfires would be at least as effective as Wildcats at protecting the ships. Ask the HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse how good the Japanese were at bombing ships in the open sea. The answer, of course, is "far better than anyone expected, based on extensive experience against the Luftwaffe and the Regia Aeronautica"... And the Luftwaffe in 1940 was much, much less effective against shipping than the specialist anti-ship units in the Med' in '41 on which that assessment had been based. As witness their unimpressive performance during DYNAMO. -- Andy Breen ~ Not speaking on behalf of the University of Wales, Aberystwyth "Who dies with the most toys wins" (Gary Barnes) |

A determined Germany would have eaten England alive, but for massive war materials and massive military direct aid. Well, assuming they could get there, which they couldn't... Are you really daft enough to believe that would always be? That is a very short Channel. Actually its about 300 miles long. At its narrowest its only about 22 miles wide but that has its own problems. The topography at its narrowest point is rather unfriendly to the invader. Landing on the beach between Folkestone and Deal leaves you at the foot of precipitous cliffs riddled with tunnels and batteries of guns. Think Omaha beach x 10 If you head NE to the beaches around Deal , Sandwich and Ramsgate you greatly increase the length of the sea crossing. Not a good idea when your barges can only do 4 knots especially given that the tidal race in those parts can run at 2-4 knots. Of course there is the little matter that it brings you closer to the RN ships at Harwich, Ramsgate and Chatham That leaves you landing on the beach between Folkestone and Rye. This is an area the British Army had been planning to defend since the Napoleonic wars. Apart from the fixed defenses there were gun batteries placed back from the coast with pre-surveyed fields of fire. There were five fully equipped infantry divisions covering this area with another 5 and an armoured division held in reserve. The Germans would have little or no armour or heavy guns but would be equipped with infantry weapons and a few mountain guns and mortars. Pity the poor soldier of the Heer short of food and ammunition trying to cross the royal military canal under fire from 7.2" and 25 pounder artillery into the teeth of the machine gun fire from the concrete pillboxes on the other side. The purpose of the home guard was NOT so much to fight the German Army as to release regular troops from routine security tasks. paranoid racist diatribe deleted Keith Lots of Concrete Liberty ships would do the job just fine. List of concrete liberty ships built worldwide Are you daft? They were coming off the slipways every 3 to 4 days in America. Had a drop in diesel Engine..and went asailing for the British Isles. Start of List End of List The point is really that the UK should learn from its past massive mistakes and never get in this fix again. That was achieved in 1945 with the dismantling of the detestable Nazi regime. Keith There would never have been a detestable Nazi regime without murderous Bolsheviks and Imperialistic Brits. Of course The Brits love the many Communists they have harbored within their Government. |

For Christs sake, learn your lesson and don't start any more damned wars. Same goes for us. Read a history book. Germany invaded her neighbours unprovoked at the start of both world wars. Bull****. Provocation was there and it would have ended very quietly, except for the English perfidy. Damned limeys were forever tinkering in the business of others. The "limeys" didn't invade Poland, Russia and France in WW2 nor did they invade Russia or France in WW1. There might have been a lot of bluster all around prior to both wars, but Germany started shooting first. So you think its wrong to shoot the SOB that threatens your security? Ding dong! Ding Dong! No one in America wanted any part of that war. Not true. The Idiot Wilson decided he needed some imperialism to beat Teddy Roosevelt in the upcoming 1917 election. So, Zimmeran's telegram and the ongoing sinking of commerce had no influence on Wilson's request for a declaration of war? Under the Constitution only Congress can issue a declaration of war. Even Teddy thought it was a stupid move. It was. Noting your bias against the UK and Israel I'm sure you will find a way to blame those 2 countries anyway. I lay blame where blame is due. Obviously you neglected your oxygen a few too many times. Our business is America. Do try and remember that. Even the US Airforce's business is America. By the way...Some of Englands loudest critics are the English themselves. There is no true UK anymore. Israel just told America to go **** itself. They did the same to President Eisenhower. We do not have any need to keep destroying our economy for the Zionist Ashkenazi Jews of Israel. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired I can see why! No, you can't see why. It's simple, I did 20+ years. Lots of 20 year dead wood there. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired You are full of ****. Poland was encouraged to stick Hitler in the ass by The Brits. The Brits Guaranteed Poland protection as did France. The Danzig corridor was a real sore point. Poland threatened to invade Germany on several occasions. |

If you had been born in the 1760's you would have been a *superstar.* You see, in the 1790's and 1800's there were a lot of people trying to build lots blue water hulls for some big wars they had going on at the time. They thought, because of their hundreds of years of accumulated experience and lifetimes spent actually building ships, that it required a great deal of time, specialized materials and highly skilled labor demanding large wages. If only you had been there with your experience gained doing something completely different as a hobby, you could have shown them the errors of their ways. Any navy would have been thrilled with your ability to produce a sloop or frigate type hull with a hundred unskilled workers in a single day. Chris Manteuffel Chris.. You keep proving yourself an idiot. Its fools like you that always underestimate the competition. |
