yeah but all the germans did look like tall handsome boys whereas the allies looked like dumpy men in sack cloth, literally. can't put a price on being fabulous.

Funky See Funky Do posted:Well I think the date of Well's death is debatable but historians give numerous dates and I think the 1928 date is the one supported by the most evidence. Regardless the German failure to occupy Britain owed far more to their lack of ships to ferry their planes across the English Channel - which yes was partly due to much of the German navy being diverted to the eastern front. i'm just glad he finished Citizen Kane before he died. also planes fly over the channel.

GolfHole posted:i guess ill tell the story of my italian grandfather the italians were on the side of the allies the whole time. incidentally, if the italians had been on the side of the allies the whole time they would have been working for the axis powers.

ChubbyChecker posted:the italians weren't really as bad as they are depicted in anglo, german, and soviet history books and propaganda. most of their problems arose from mussolini commanding them to attack before enough troops were gathered, and their lack of mechanization. so in infantry vs. infantry combat in greece they got a beating because they had only about 1/3 of the troops the italian generals had estimated they needed, and on desert and steppes they had no fast moving reserves to plug in the breakthroughs. in those battles where they had the needed equipment they performed as well as anyone else. and their elite units ranked amongst the best in the world. they get a bad rep because of mussolini being mussolini and because of racism. also the whole fascism thing

despite Italy's shortcomings, of all the fascist leaders, benito mussolini is the only one still alive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA8Uav7EPlQ

Hyrax Attack! posted:Surprised that “critically injured in Italy and they wrote an M on his forehead with his own blood to indicate he’d been given morphine” Bob Dole, and “shot down in France, escaped into Spain, later shot down a German jet” Chuck Yeager are still with us. turns out the last true american hero to be tortured in a prison camp was John McCain.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:The big problem in WW2 is that after December of 41 our entire war making effort went towards fighting the Nazis and your average American wondered... why?? Nobody knew exactly how awful they were and no matter how much propaganda you slathered on the American people they just didn't respond that much. Japanese they hated. Like really really loving hated. Like racialized virulent evil sort of hatred. Americans legitimately wanted to kill Japanese soldiers and civilians, Germans they killed because they were told to. i bet the Japanese did nazi that coming.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:The words are never used in Shattered Sword but as far as I can tell the Japanese attack on Midway, as planned, was a bite and hold maneuver. The problem is that the Kido Butai couldn't deliver ordnance on target, it never could. It was a raiding force, not a bombarding force. So the whole thing was loving stupid from the get go the Kido Butai? that's what Goku used to kill Frieza, isn't it?
