2007/6/25-28 [Reference/History/WW2/Germany] UID:47057 Activity:moderate | 6/25 For the guy asking for sources on Polish cavalry charges vs. tanks
being a load of hoo-haw: David Irving's claims about this were
debunked pretty well by Tom Strasnov. Also, the March 2007 issue of
Strategy & Tactics (issue 241) has an article by Mark Lardas called
"Polish Cavalry Charges in WWII" which makes this point with good
primary sources. Another reason for the persistence of this myth was

\_ Hairy thugs with Stingers >> Soviet armed forces. -John

S.L.A. Marshall from 1960. A vivid account of D-Day. Also
interesting to note that many of the German forces at Normandy
were POWs (including some Korean) and that had two Panzer
divisions inland been closer to shore the invasion would have been
a complete failure.

2004/6/3-4 [Reference/History/WW2/Germany, Reference/Military] UID:30586 Activity:very high | 6/3 How many Panzers can the M1 Abram take out? How many ME109s can the
F22 raptor take out? Just want to see how much we have advanced in
the past 60 years...

\_ Not after both the USA and USSR were involved, and after the USSR
brought the German offensive to a stop. But before that happened,
there were many possibilities that could have led to either victory
or a peace arrangement by Germany. Without the USSR front, against
just USA and Britain it seems like ultimately it still would have

\_ Thank you for that well-reasoned piece of historical analysis.
\_ I'm encouraging discussion.
\_ Each individual tank was better, but because the Sherman
was mass produced in a way the Panzer was not, it could
be produced in 5X quantities. Was the Panzer better than

MS Combat Flight Simulator, etc etc etc). Just out of curiousity,
do the Germans/Japanese make games that kill the Allies?
\_ while there is plenty of nazi paraphenalia in Japan, I have never
seen a game where you actually fight the US. There are plenty
where you try to take over Asia though! Also I believe the
