?? ? THE SOCIAL CLUB v. Come Say Hi! ? ??

Exactly, very useful for short term strikes, not so much for the long term. Having your soldiers tweaked out isn't exactly the brightest idea either, as the allies learned quickly in our test runs of pervitin.

Yes! They spent more on their dopey 'V' weapons against the Brits than the US and UK spent in total on the Manhattan project. The Nazis made all kinds of stupid mistakes though throughout the war. But it's a miracle they beat the French in the first place, given how the odds were really not in their favour against the world's No1 military land power at the time.

Not to mention some advances in medicine; we got aspirin for 1$

Seriously didn’t expect this! Though interesting stuff -if only abrodoflinkler was around
 
France had far too much faith in the Maginot Line and static defence...They were totally unprepared for a flanking attack through Holland, Belgium and the Low Countries using mechanized warfare on that sort of scale.

It was a miracle that so much of the BEF was saved from Dunkirk...although that was mainly due to Hitler's insistence that the armour halt to allow the infantry to "catch up" rather than pressing home his attack and finishing the British and French while he could.

I agree with the point that had Britain not been an Island we would have been fucked....but we were...and the logistics of an amphibious attack across the channel were never feasable against the Royal Navy...Any German invading force would have been destroyed in the channel. Even IF they had got ashore, attacking the in deapth defences laid out before them from a precarious beach head would have been a very, very tall order in deed.

I could go on about this all day...lol

I need a long acting benzo to chill me out.....any suggestions?

Anyone?

Lorne??? What about diazepam? :). I haven't forgot about our bet BTW ;)

What do you mean exactly Lorne? I know Bayer discovered Asprin (and invented Heroin) but that was long before WW2. In what way do you mean getting it for 1$

Interestingly though, the Nazis invented methadone ad a solution to the shortage of morphine they were experiencing at the time due to not being able to important from British controlled India. (total myth about it being named Dolphine after Adolf Hitler though....it's from the Latin words meaning to end pain... (finem doloris)

Anti biotics were a huge breakthrough at the time of WW2 though...massive improvement on existing anti-bacterial treatments..... ie. Sulfonamide powder

No I have never been out of SA at all.

My grandfather was born in Ireland (on my dad's side) and my father was born in Zambia and grew up in Kitwe (they immigrated here to SA when he was 12)

Its a beautiful country you should come visit most definitely

You would love the Western Cape its gorgeous!

Yeah I've been invited a few times to Cape Town and the area - I'm told it's pretty sweet. I could really dig a visit right now in our miserable winter :)

The whole flaw in the V2 was that it only had a 1 tonne warhead...a single B17 had double that capacity and by that stage in the war, 1000 bomber raids were common place...

So basically 2000 times the firepower in a single raid without any real improvement in accuracy and a substantial decrease in range..

Totally ineffective...not to mention the fact that Hitler insisted on them being targeted at London where they had zero tactical effect as oppose to targeting the Normandy beachheads where they could have actually done some damage...

People often wonder why the Allies never put any real effort into having Hitler assassinated, but the truth was he was better off to the Allies alive than dead such was the devastating impact (on the Germans that is) of his strategic blunders by the later stages of the war..

The V2 however ineffective as a weapon in WW2 did give rise to the Saturn rocket system that courtesy of Von Brown and his conveniently forgetton Nazi past put the first man in the moon.

Yeah agreed.

Also wouldn't quite compare to the terrifying noise and power of 1000 Lancasters dumping their load on some poor unsuspecting city 8o

Yeah...and unlike the V1 with its pulse jet engine (which instilled terror in it's own right as you were safe as long as you could here it, but when it went quiet meant the motor had cut out and it was on its way down) a V2 made no noise at all to those on the receiving end being at it came down at supersonic speed.

Some of the British government were very concerned that the V2s would have a catastrophic effect on British moral but that never really happened...then all the launch sites were over run in Northern Ftannce and Holland before it could do any real damage..

The mist interesting of the V weapons for me was the V3, which was never actually fired. Not sure if you are familiar with it or not but was a super gun with valves that accelerates the projectile along the barrel I'm stages...developed after the war by the Canadian artillery designer Dr.Gerry Bull, it was better know as the Iraqi "Supergun" that Saddam Hussein attempted to build....but the Isralies assassinated Dr. Bull before the final fun could be assembled....It was unique in thst it fouor achieve huge range yet accelerated the projectile at a slow an steady rate along the length of the barrel and so could accommodate sensitive warheads like nuclear warheads

I've been reading recently about these new electromagnetic railguns that the US Navy are developing, and they really are fascinating...they're not perfected yet, but can already can achieve rediculous velocities...Do much so that they can rely on kinetic energy alone to destroy targets and don't even need to be explosive...Mach 6 or 7 currently, but in theory the velocity can be adjusted to whatever level is required since they use electric current and electromagnetism to propel the projectile and not expanding gasses from a chemical reaction like conventional guns...

As you may have already guessed, I could go on all day about rhis shit lol
 
And as you described rockets and quasi-artillery, which are all like giant guns, Mr. Wafflehouse himself has quietly snuck in the back door.

At least, according to the list down at the bottom of the forum.

We see you Mr. Anydride, what have you been up to . . . . You're not doing drugs again, are you?
