Yup, the basic posting features are, as the Americans say, SNAFUBB.

Similar problems on visiting and posting tonight, after a long absence. And difficulty editing on a fractured edit page.

Seems like admin isn't bothering to keep the forum operating properly.

Fair enough for a forum that's nearly dead but, if...

Off topic, but moving towards a modern vaguely related event.

Chevan, me old mate: Looking at the current situation, do you as a Russian feel that the West is pressing unreasonably against Russia...

You might be confusing the successive corrupt governments of SVN with hungry apes.

Or maybe not. :evil:

Fair enough, but whose side were they on? :confused: ;) :D

Our structure was that what I called above 'mechanized infantry' (technical term 'assault troop') were part of our armoured corps and, we thought, somewhat superior to mere infantry. Surprisingly,...

I was just mechanized infantry in an armoured unit, which was cavalry rather than tanks. The nearest I got to a driver was being flung around on top of and inside an M113 on tank courses, which was...

In many tanks is the reverse also true? That is, if the turret isn't in the correct position the driver (and I think is some cases and or other crew members) can't escape?

If so, seems fair enough...

Thanks for that.

Good idea to grab the grease gun before exiting as shown in the photo, which allows a small arms battle just like Fury. Or, more realistically, gives the crewman a slightly...

Common sense says that the escape hatch and mount would be reinforced to ensure that it wouldn't be a weak spot if an anti-tank mine went off under the belly. Is that correct?

I think it was feasible for Japan to leave America out of its southern advance and take only British and Dutch assets, in the hope that American isolationism would not result in any American response...

I missed the panzerfaust shots.

Must have happened when I went to the toilet, which was an unavoidable event in a film that was giving me the shits.

There were so many other things wrong with...

Free to air TV just showed Fury here, so it's not necroposting but just an update.;)

FFS!

Where do I start with criticism?

At the end, to keep it short.

Supposed SS column marching to the...

I think your term "bottled up" defines the difference between Dunkirk and, on the other hand, Singapore and the Philippines. The British and US / Filipino forces had no way of escaping from the...

I can't think of any argument to contradict your sister's assessment.

Dunkirk is probably unique in having such a large body of defeated troops massed for successful evacuation. Greece was a bit...

Sorry.

It appears I've been unduly harsh as I wasn't aware of modern educational standards and marking policies, which if the following is any guide is an extension of the nonsense that you can't...

It would require a lot of information and analysis that are both well beyond me, but I'd expect that any Soviet thrust to the West against the Western Allies would have lengthened Soviet lines of...

If your stated points qualify as even remotely adequate for whatever assignment you're doing, you might like to think about doing a course or moving to a school / college / university which has...

Probably because Stalin got what he wanted in (a) Eastern Europe, e.g. Poland, as a buffer between any resurgence in Germany and any future Allied hostility from Western Europe and (b) recovery and...

Welcome to the forum, smokey stover. (I hope you're not a food stove smoker, because like most things that are fun and pleasurable one of our idiot state governments is going to close that off among...

I think I've seen it on DVD in past year or two.

Away from home so can't check now if I have it.

Looks interesting, but like all films it can be expected to distort historical accuracy for dramatic effect. Doesn't mean it won't be entertaining. (Unlike Dunkirk, which was implausible and, apart...
