broSince the city of Koln (Cologne) is named after a Roman Emperors wife you may have trouble sustaining that argument, Mulheim on the Ruhr used to be in Normandy. Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium - Wikipedia
I mean like dunkirk and the fall of franceNo they didnt, once the Battle of Britain was won it was clear Germany wasnt going to win that battle if he tried again and no historian seriously considers the RAF were close to losing the Battle of Britain.
Not at all indeed. I'm Dutch, not German. And I believe that if you tell a Polish person that he is German, he will start hitting youThat does not make them German. I'm pretty sure the British, French, Dutch, Scandinavian, Croation, and Polish members of our forum don't think they are German.
Tell a Dutch person he is German and they arent happy at all, I saw it many times, I took being mistaken for a Dutchman as a compliment, it meant my German was getting better lolNot at all indeed.

Churchill and Dowding had maintained enough fighters in UK to defend the islands, no one in the RAF thought they had or would lose.bro

You're not?But they didnt, which isnt. I could have been the first F1 world Champion to win the Balon D-or and Nobel prize for physics.
Not quite, but I could have been and that is really cool.You're not?
Yeah, that's the common joke here. Not so funny if you realize this joke is about WW2 when the occupying forces plundered everything from here, starting with the bicyles.I worked in the same place in Germany as a huge Dutch engineer, whenever a local asked what he was doing he said he was looking for his grandfather's bicycle.
Ach... my bad.Peter Gunn You could have added Wiki to your ".....as long as it's isn't one based in myth or rumor."
Yet we all quote it.Peter Gunn You could have added Wiki to your ".....as long as it's isn't one based in myth or rumor."

This is a group of pretty serious aviation types, as deradler stated, experts in the fields of aviation, mechanics etc. Published authorities on aerial warfare, published authorities on engines (specifically WWII piston types) and we even keep a bona fide F-15 jock around here somewhere. We don't usually let him out among civilized folk though.
Hardly anyone here plays flight sims, many of us are actual pilots, me not since the 1980's but there are a lot of guys here that still fly regularly or for a living.
The other important thing to note is, these guys are very knowledgeable AND willing to share that knowledge freely. They may come off as a bit gruff sometimes but it's nothing personal, heck, they like a good challenge, as long as it's isn't one based in myth or rumor. Actually, these guys like nothing better than to refute myths and rumors, so I take that part back.
Also the group here uses actual source material, raw data most of the time so if you have a point to make, be prepared to back it up with actual facts/data.
Just a few friendly words of advice and...
Welcome to the forum.
thanks
By god we derailed this thread quite a bit did't we?
