Going to make the rest of their invasion of Britain interesting... Bottom line is that the Germans would have figured a very effective way if that had been their goal. The way they figured out a very effective way to take North Africa? Moscow? Stalingrad? And presumably the Germans must have made "having their country overrun and Berlin seized by the Soviets" a goal, since they achieved that so successfully? Curious definition of "effective", mind you... -- He thinks too much, such men are dangerous. Paul J. Adam |

That was part of it but until a port was captured and repaired the allies relied on a combination of Mulberry harbours and landing supplies on the beach. The allies used large numbers of specialist landing craft and landing ships along with the DUKW amphibious trucks. The Germans had none of these methods available in 1940. THe allies improved the beaches, look up 'gooseberry', for example Peter Skelton |

They were coming off the slipways every 3 to 4 days in America. Had a drop in diesel Engine..and went asailing for the British Isles. They were of welded steel construction and typically had triple expansion steam engines. Who is the daft one here ? PS the original design came from the shipyards of NE England and the first ships built were called the Ocean Class. When the United States Maritime Commission adopted the design they substituted welding for the original rivetted construction and replaced the coal fired boilers with oil burners. Keith |

If the decision had been to retain Russia as an ally, Germany would have found the where with all to toast England. As for starving England out..Why not...That is what England did to Germany after the Armistice in WWI. America had no place in either war. England handed us the dirty end of the stick and we had morons in Corporate America what war profiteered by jumping at the chance. England was a paper tiger as proven by the taking of Poland. Even in WWI The English had lost the war when Germany first offered a stand down and to return to its original borders. But oh no..Wilson had to furnish more war materials to England and when a ship load of that got sunk...Pull isolationist America into a European conflict for which America got nothing but egg on its face. Actually he never planned to invade England. That is just Paranoia. If his original plans were to invade, Germany would have been tooling up in 1934, just like American corporate Government did. America stashed all the steel and materials and redesigned it planes and battle fleets in 1934. When Roosevelt finally goaded Japan into attacking us, It only took short weeks before Fletcher class destroyers came off the assy line by the gross. Planes also.. All designs with 1934 copyrights. The English Empire started its own destruction in WWI. Its primary goal was to pirate Germanys rich colonies. They got ****ed when the Bolsheviks took Russia out of the equation as an ally. One bloody war led to the next one. Bolsheviks were and are Jews by the way. The same batch of assholes that fled Russia for Israel and are now the assassinating settlers on Palestinian soil. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_salad Chris Manteuffel Don't even begin to think I will waste time on link bull****. Why should you when you have such a rich domestic source? Peter Skelton |
