  1. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Also remember USA France and Britain were not benevolent nonviolent peaceful states for the century before ww2 ( all had through violent means committed ethnic cleansing and colonization on a grand scale) so you cannot poke them in the eye and then expect clemency. Retribution was harsh for...
  2. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Can you please look at a map and the distance between the Canaries Islands and southern Spain ? From Sevilla to the Canaries Islands, you have 1 350 km. The range of a Ju-52 was 1 000 km.

    Best of Both Worlds: An IndyCar Timeline

    Whoever signed off on that transmission had better have a good explanation for why Jacques ended up stranded on the front stretch with no drive! Great update, my man. 👍

    True. Do you want it? I'm going to need help with other things.
  5. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    This has been discussed in earlier threads, and the Canaries didn't have significant garrisons. They had some, but there's also a lot of coast. Maybe the Luftwaffe can fly in aircraft, but those need fuel and ammo, which all needs to be flown in too. To build up a U-boat base, they're going to...
  6. It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    It would raise the question, however, of whether the French would really be caught supporting Communism. At the moment, it's kind of a Catch-22; support the Germans to fight the Communists but get a strong Germany on their borders, or support the Soviets and possibly end up with a stronger...
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    Exactly. If you look at the people who led the Einsatzgruppen or ran departments in the RSHA, you'll find that many of them were academics, who in several cases had doctorates. They were, on average, fairly young, educated men...who also believed in National Socialism. Education and managerial...
  8. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Like I said it wasn't even controversial in Wisconsin. There was little outcry even from Democrats. No one wanted it. HSR in Wisconsin gives it NOTHING!!! Outside of maybe a route to Chicago it is completely and utterly useless. Wisconsin has all of one big city, Milwaukee. The line ending at...

    Tales From The Hood (1996-2003): Based on the 1995 movie of the same name, Tales From The Hood was executive-produced by Spike Lee, with Rusty Cundieff and Darin Scott as the producers. The star was Clarence Williams III as Mr. Simms (aka Satan, though this isn't as obvious in the TV series)...
  10. Keep the Essex class as a strike carrier

    First on mine. Mac at least had the occasional moment of genius to play against the more idiotic of his ideas. McNamara has literally nothing going for him.
  11. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Even then you are talking about spending billions for trains that will run at best half empty. The train companies dumped their passenger trains ASAP for a reason. Spend the same or less money on local trams, elevated trains, subways etc. and you will be able to serve ten times the people...

    The Forge of Weyland

    The Germans do seem to be reducing to a war of attrition, not a good thing for them. Hungry nation to the east of them, pay them for resources needed, fight them if must, not a good thing.

    AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    You might want to look at who the Governor was who turned it down before you go judging the money. Republican Governors during the Obama Administration turned down federal money for all kinds of worthy things just to make political points.
  14. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    There is no doubt that the roads and airports needed upgrading in a huge way. If anything was done wrong it was not sufficiently recognizing passenger rail's niche and maintaining that alongside the major investment in road and air. If commuter and medium distance passenger rail received a small...

    You know, if I'd been included in this, you could have sent me the Family Echo Tree and I could have checked the number of babies for you. :p
  16. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

  17. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Respectfully Turkey is in the Middle East. The Germans only reached the Turkish border in 1941, when they occupied Bulgaria. Any invasion of Turkey has to happen after the end of the Greek Campaign, and involves a massive commitment of forces that would delay Barbarossa by a year. A German move...

  19. AHC: Longest possible airship age

    I'm putting this in Before 1900, because I suspect the solution would involve airships being invented earlier, in addition to planes catching on later. I know airships have loads of problems, but maybe there are possible situations where airships could have been dominant for a little while...
  20. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    Supposedly much better. They mention in one of the post war chapters that the first black POTUS was elected in the late 1980's I think. And that at the time the biggest controversy by far was the fact that he was the first POTUS since like the early 1950's who had served in the European War.
