Biplanes sinking battleships

Had to look this one up, the Taranto raid. Still, sinking Italian battleships only deserves partial credit.
Those old Stringbags also put a torpedo or two into the Bismark

The scale of us production is staggering. We weren't just equipping ourselves but the British free French free poles Australians anyone and everyone to fight the axis. 41 billion rounds of ammo turning out cargo ships in 42 days. Thats production on a scale we will never see again

The amount of supplies we gave the Russians is staggering. We even had to construct an entire port and supply route just to get it to them.

Yes, WW2 was great for the American economy. Somehow, the United States came out of the greatest war in history far stronger and in far better shape than when it entered.

Probably. Christ I've seen so many. That one is excellent though.

The swift mechanization and industrialization of warfare during the time is mind-boggling.

Yamamoto knew this, Goering didn't

I mean, we went from no flight at all to landing on the moon in like 60 years right?
Most of that was due to the demands of war or the fear that a war might break out.

Yeah everyone knows they would have been far better off in Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan.

All the swimming pools in the concentration camps. Some camps even had small soccer fields.

The sacrifices of the American civilian population and kids lying about their age to go fight for their country.
Never happen again.
Never happen again.

What fascinates you concerning WW2?
Posted on 2/23/17 at 7:44 pm to AlceeFortier
I have always been fascinated by how many of the biggest war crimes criminals were doctors, lawyers, above average intelligent Germans. The killing squads in the East were led by doctors, engineers, 2 attys ; obviously the doctors in the camps were highly educated men. But as to the question of how much the German people knew, there are a lot of books out there detailing just what was known. And it was wildly know, as many German soldiers were bringing home photographs of the atrocities in Poland, in Russia.Those German Army photos are the primary source of the 1000's of pictures that exist today.

The nuclear intrigue. That we could keep two gigantic projects in Oak Ridge and Hangord secret and Stalin still got a mole into Los Alamos.
Fuchs this a-hole
ETA: Not to mention the irony of dissident Jews being pivotal in the research, and Hitler not focusing on the technology that would've allowed him to rule the world.
And the wizardly, elemental concept of slamming two U-235 slugs into one another to obliterate cities.
