Re: What if Hitler had listened to his Generals?
Most importantly in my mind, no halt of the German offensive at Dunkerque.

Re: Iron Coffins by Herbert Werner
This issue has been discussed at soome length at uboat.net and the consensus was that soem of the actions as represented by Mr. Werner are not supported by naval records. Nevertheless, it was a good read and despite the inconsistencies, it was a good portrayal of the service.

Re: Schopp, Palatinate, Germany
Thorsten, I did send a note last week, but have received no reply. Necessarily, it was sent in English, so perhap there's the rub!

Re: Schopp, Palatinate, Germany

I believe that we did take a photo of the alleged machine gun nest and I will forward that when able. I did do some research today and see that some ...

Re: Tirpitz shelling New York
On the surface of it, the harbor defenses appear formidable but a close review seems to indicate that the old vintage of many of the guns would not have the range against a Tirpitz laying far ashore.

Dana Wynter has Died
The redoubtable and lovely Dana Wynter, who played Anne Davis in Sink the Bismarck, has just died. Did Anne Davis have a rank in the movie? The movie details that I see do not specify.
