Here's a 1946 look at the German wartime secrets- just a "fraction" of
the thousands of tons of technical documents stored at Wright Field.
Have fun being in denial.

[snip...]

First, I found only a magazine's story. Second, since when Harper's
Magazine is a regarded source of technical information?

There's no doubt that Germany had big contribution in the world's
technological progress. On the other hand Germans DID NOT invent everything
and decades before any other country. They invented plenty of things, but
NOT EVERYTHING as you're trying to suggest.

Back to Hitler's racism, I see.

Why?
For example if somebody had stated "Hispanics constitute 20% of US
population" would you call it "Back to Franco's fashism"?

The empire was an idea who's time had past, Britains
didnt want to be the slavemasters of the world.


Really?,I think the British empire officially ended during Suez crisis when US
told British rather unexpectedly (at least for the Brits) "stay at home or
else".
US engagement in WWII had two goals:
1)Defeating Nazi Germany
2)Destroying British Empire

Till Suez crisis Brits hoped that US might want to forget second goal,but US
had other plans.

Scarcely old boy. Britain is one of the 6 leading trading
nations, one of the 5 permanent members of the security
council and has of late rather discomfited France and Germany
by winning the support of many of the other EU nations, especially
the new members from eastern europe who for historical reasons are


Just a question:
was Britain a part of "original" Roman empire?.
Every country that was part of the "original" will also be part of
resurrected Roman empire.period.

Hardly, Egypt had been grantd full independence before
Suez, the intervention was over Egyptian nationlisation
of the canal. Just as the US has intervened to protect
the Panama canal

US engagement in WWII had two goals:
1)Defeating Nazi Germany
2)Destroying British Empire


ISTR a little matter of revenging Pearl Harbor

Till Suez crisis Brits hoped that US might want to forget second goal,but

US
had other plans.


You are fantasizing again I fear

By the time of Suez, India and Pakistan were independent
and the remaining colonies were already in the
process of getting independence. The time table for
Malayan and Singaporean Independence was
agreed in 1955 for example.

given that the dollar is at al all-time low against the pound and
getting weaker by the day, Britain must be doing something better than
the States.


An all-time low? When I was a student at Manchester, the exchange rate
was $2.40. Not too many years earlier it was $5.00.

Exchange rates have little to do with what one country is doing better
than another. Else why does China peg the yuan to the dollar?

The dollar goes up, the dollar goes down. The pound has actually
strengthened against the euro, while the euro has strengthened less
dramatically against the dollar. It was issued a few years ago at an
exchange rate of $1.18. Now it is $1.20. Big deal, except to European
auto manufacturers who want to sell their cars in the U.S. (Britain of
course has none on offer.)

all the best -- Dan Ford
