The unofficial post 1900 research/data compilation/q&a thread

It's been suggested several times that we should have one of these. Many of us do a solid amount of research and reading on a wide variety of subjects that interest us. We garner interesting facts that might not apply to TL's or board commentary but still could be useful to other posters for research purposes. So 1 intention of this thread is for posters to compile research, as a resource to the board

The other purpose I see and am responding to requests for is to have a thread within this forum for questions... not necessarily w/i's or things that need their own thread, but small simple technical questions

I'll be posting tidbits from my reading at least once a day into this thread and hopefully it will catch on

BW tidbit number 1


tidbit from readings... we may have heard that the Luftwaffe ordered projects which couldn't be complete within a year to be postponed or cancelled in 1940 (a severe bit of complacency and short sightedness, which had an impact on a number of important weapons, including jets)

when I had heard this previously, I assumed it was after sickle cut, assuming their impressive victory over France had imbued them with overconfidence and a war is won attitude.

In my reading yesterday, I was stunned to find that Goering had adopted this attitude and pattern in February 1940 BEFORE sickle cut.
