Subject: RE: BS: Could the UK have defeated Germany ?
I think you're being just a little hard on the Germans, Teribus. ;-) Just because you have once opposed someone in a war doesn't mean they simply couldn't do anything right. But (shrug)...okay, fine with me. Not my problem. Much of what you say is accurate, but it's very, very partisan.
I do think that the Russians fielded, overall, the best tanks in that war, and we appear to agree on that. They didn't waste their efforts on a large variety of overly complex machinery the way the Germans did with their various "supertanks" and certain other weapons.
Rapaire, your mother might have invited Hitler to dinner had he become a painter instead of a national leader. ;-) He had intentions of doing that at one point in his youth, and he appears to have been fairly good at it from what I've seen. It's a pity he didn't stick with that plan. If the Germans had won WWI, I don't think we'd ever have had Hitler (or the Nazis) to worry about.
