Leaving to 150th Resaca this thursday, doing a caravan with my unit. It will be on original ground. Should be great and last time they burned a cabin as well.

 ;D  well this weekend  the "Landesausstellung: Als die Royals aus Hannover kamen" (museum stuff for 300 years personalunion)  has it's grand opening. And there was some realy great program planned with the KGL and british military and someone of the british royals. But now we got a new governement in Niedersachsen adn the ucraine-conflict....so us and the british military are not wanted no more for the official program of le grand opening (u know - we r all militarists bro).
So a hannoverian pony racecourse is doing a british sunday (british market n stuff) and asked us to be part of their program...
 :'(

Go home, Wolff. You're drunk.

The British are just a collection of German, Danish and French immigrants who killed or enslaved all the celts.

Had to do the opposite of the usual correction this time. There's still plenty of celtic and gaelic peoples in the UK, mostly pushed into the unpleasant mountainous areas that the Angles, Saxons, Vikings and Normans didn't want. Jutes too, I suppose, but they didn't settle much of Britain.

Probably less viking heritage further south too, because of the Danelaw.

There's probably some Norwegian viking descended sorts in Scotland, but I doubt there are too many, who really wants to settle in Wales and Scotland?

Say that to the Desert Rats and the Legion at Al Alamain.


Say that to bataan death march, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Cape Glouscester, and Okinawa.

I didn't say the fighting was more brutal, I said it was a harder fight. The Japs fell against the US pretty much by itself meanwhile the combined forces of the FFF, Britain and the US still had hell and a hacksaw to go through.

The war in Africa lasted 2 years and opponent had honor to surrender or carry out prisoners. While the war in Pacific lasted 3 years and if it wasnt for that atomic bomb, could last another year or two, fighting japs who refuse to surrender, takes no prisoners, using civillians as bodyshield, targeted unarmed medic, the Marines had to drop Genevea convention to kill all japs because a wounded jap would use his last grenade. Okinawa took 3 month of heavy fighting on a island that's only 400 miles. 

The war in Africa was pure tactical war. open ground warfare, produced heroes out of that battlefield. But I honestly believe the Pacific was the hardest battle that American and the Commonwealth had to go through.

They may have not surrendered, but they're troop quality was shit enough that it really didn't matter.

Now saying jap quality was shit is not true. I am sure they held largest empire in the world around that time. Japs even gave the Britain and her commonwealth force hard time. Australia was threatened if it wasn't for our stand at Guadalcanal.   

Surely they may have reduced their strength as war go by, but thats natural. The Wehrmacht, a army that took Europe in one year by 1944, virtually had nothing to spare. Using surplus from other countries or ww1 stuff. The shovel carrier was made out of some mixture of papers.
