Let's say the U.S. didn't have or was hesitant to use the atomic bombs to close out the war in the Pacific. Could their naval blockade and saturation bombing have forced a surrender, or would an...

My men don't dig foxholes. I don't want them to. Foxholes only slow up an offensive. Keep moving. And don't give the enemy time to dig one either.

You're never beaten until you admit it.

By early 1943, the tide had changed in ETO. Stalin's Red Army persistently pushed the Wehrmacht back towards Germany, along the way it gobbled up countries that would later go on to form the " Iron...

I will give Mac credit for one thing......he was an expert in P.R. ;)

Good point, I never thought of that.

Eastwind, I wholeheartedly agree with you.

The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other...

Thanks again, R/S. You're the BEST! :D

Thanks for the great info RS. I never realized how much the country of India actually contributed to the war effort. Very informative. My other question is how did the Japanese adjust to a...

At the height of it's power, the Japanese Empire extended pretty far. They were in China, India, New Guinea, and the Pacific Islands. After the cessation of hostilities, how did they get back home?...

Any 8mm mauser ammo available for purchase? ;)

This question was posted in a WW2 Group on social media, so I'm going to post it here. Does anyone in this forum think that Adolf Hitler escaped from his bunker, alive?

I recently purchased a Japanese helmet. As you can see in the photo it's very rusty. I would like to restore it and make it into a naval landing forces helmet. I purchased a repro naval emblem for...

Thanks tom! That is a very valid point and I tend to agree with you. But what remains in the back of my mind is that Admiral Yamamoto was educated here in the States, so he knew the American way of...

Which setback hurt the Japanese the most? Was it losing four carriers at the Battle of Midway, or the death of Admiral Yamamoto?

Hypothetical question for our aviation experts. You are a pilot in a P-51 Mustang. Which German plane do you fear more, the BF109 or the FW190?

Great response, R/S, I appreciate your insight. I especially like the part about Rommel possibly serving with the gerbigsjaegers instead of the panzers. Good stuff.

Thanks tankgeezer & Nickdfresh, that's pretty much what I thought. I read somewhere that Rommel hitched his cart to Hitler and the National Socialists because they were rebuilding the German...

I am curious as to whether Erwin Rommel was a Nazi Party member. And if he was, was he truly hardcore in the National Socialist agenda? I've heard differing stories about his politics, but I'd like...

It's June 6, 1944 and the Allies are invading the Normandy Coast. What was the single most important action that helped the Allies to victory that day? Was it the airborne drop the night before? ...

When production started in 1942, the Owens gun was somewhat bulky. It was tested for three different calibers - 9mm, .45ACP, and 38-200. The 9mm was the wiining caliber but the initial batch of...

Yes, JFK was a real hero. One tough hombre, and a gentleman as well.

Hey! I like Miller Lite! :rolleyes:
