Arlo Gunthrie references earn you a Bacon!"And Wiki is wrong."
Well, so is a well ballasted ship that rolls 32° in a typhoon, but does it stay wrong? No, it rolls back upright again. And like a well ballasted ship, Wiki has self-righting tendencies built in. It's the nature of open source information sources.
I was aghast to see that the airport I soloed at in 1970 came into being in 1972 according to Wiki. So I submitted a revision. Asked for documentation, I sent a photocopy of the appropriate page in my logbook "marked with circles and arrows pointing to the evidence of the crime" (Thank you Arlo Guthrie!)
Revision denied due to "insufficient and possibly fabricated evidence". I was asked to provide verifiable published or public record citations to back my claim. Eventually a citizen of the county the airport was in provided records of a change from municipal to county ownership and a name change that would have registered the earlier history of the airfield undetectable to the uninformed internet searcher.
"Slowwly...slowwwly up she rises" and returns to an even keel. But much too slowly for some impatient souls.
That is what it was all about, the vote gave him faint praise, not a ringing endorsement.I think it shook his faith in his power to successfully steer the ship of state through stormy seas.
Who would stop the Marines ,if there was no German occupation army ? Maybe the Bobbies ?
The Russian airforce did not better with LL aircrraft than without LL aircraft .
Zhukov was not chief of staff when the LL deliveries arrived,he had been fired for incompetence following Stalin .
Russia had also reserves of armoured plate
All of these "facts?" to be taken at face value without supporting evidence or credible citations? Methinks I smell a credibility gap here.The Norway debate did not cause the resignation of Chamberlain .

I gave him a bacon for the ship's inclinometer reference. A Renaissance Man fer shure.Arlo Gunthrie references earn you a Bacon!
LMAO!!!The Russian airforce did not better with LL aircrraft than without LL aircraft .
Russia had also reserves of armoured plate
Steel plate is a natural by product of mining treacle, the Siberian treacle wars of the 1920-30s left huge reserves, internet FACT.LMAO!!!
LMAO!!
Oh My God - these two comments simply blow me away.
These are so far into the realm of "absolutely not true" that they can easily fall into the "made up bullshit in order to impress uninformed people on social media" category.
Just stop, FFS.
Didn't the countries of Borduria and Syldavia get involved in that debaucle?Steel plate is a natural by product of mining treacle, the Siberian treacle wars of the 1920-30s left huge reserves, internet FACT.

1) This is a question you have been asked before.Who would stop the Marines ,if there was no German occupation army ? Maybe the Bobbies ?
The Russian airforce did not better with LL aircrraft than without LL aircraft .
Zhukov was not chief of staff when the LL deliveries arrived,he had been fired for incompetence following Stalin .

The best thing to do with armour plate is to stockpile it. If you build tanks out of it you would have tanks and no stockpile of out of date metal that is the wrong thickness, as Napoleon said, an army sits on its stockpiles.4) Russia had reserves of armour plate. I admit to being surprised that even you cannot see how false this statement is. However I certainly could be wrong on this so I ask this question
Question - Can you tell me what the reserves were that would enable Russian industry to operate for four years of war.
PS I did supply a Russian source for my original comments on the volume of raw materials and its only fair that we ask you to supply similar evidence for your comments.
You were saying that the Allies were hustled out of Norway .And, this is not correct : they were not hustled out of Norway during the Norway debate .
Chamberlain did not mismanage the war, everything went good .
The fact that he won the vote meant that his goose was not cooked .
1. In an attempt to "live off the land" (a favorite of this poster) the US marines encounter Haggis and beat a hasty retreat back to Iceland.
The fact that he won the vote meant that his goose was not cooked .
FYI : I did NOT say that they could occupy Britain ( they would liberate Britain ) ,neither did I say that the US Marines would invade the continent .This goober insists that the Marines could invade the Shetlands, occupy Britain and invade the continent. Upon further research (which he could do), I have found the number of Marines in Iceland was 3908 while they were accompanied by 2659 Canadians. If we add these to the 22,000 British also on the island, why.... I don't see any reason we couldn't begin the invasion immediately.
The Allies never lost the control of the sea .1) This is a question you have been asked before.
Question - If you have lost control of the sea, how do the vast forces needed to control the UK let alone a second front get to the UK?
2) The Russian airforce didn't need LL aircraft. This leads to question 2
Question - If the Russian airforce didn't feel the need for LL aircraft, Why did Stalin himself press for the delivery of P39 and Spitfire aircraft?
3) Zhukov was removed as Chief of Staff correct. He also was responsible for the defence of many Russian cities, the planning and execution of major key battles such as Kursk and the Battle for Berlin amongst many others. Stalin recognised that he had such an influence on the war that he chose him to accept the German surrender. This leads to question 3
Question - Now if I had to choose between his views on a Russian military topic or yours, tell us all why we should listen to you?
