Second, Alatrsite. I don´t agree with you. Stauffenberg, being a traitor to Hitler, was a traitor to Germany. Why? Because Hitler wasn´t betraying Germany. He published a book, Mein Kampf, that was very specific in what he intend to do, how he would do it and to whom he would do it. People read the...

von Stauffenberg was a traitor only to Hitler and his regime but not to Germany. Hitler betrayed Germany. But I agree von Stauffenberg can not be considered as Germany's greatest hero. The last I read about Tom Cruise movie is that the family of von Stauffenberg did not approve it and wanted Cruise ...

Apart from the UK, in 1982, I don't think any other European naval power (except the USSR) could have taken the Falklands. The Germans didn't even have an aircraft-carrier to provide air support over the islands (and still don't have it today). Spain only had one carrier in 1982, the Dédalo (ex-USS ...

Bismarck armed with 11-inch guns
Hello, Since Bismarck's role was to attack British supply lines, merchant ships, and not heavy warships if they could be avoided, I am thinking if it would not have been better to arm Bismarck with the already tested turrets of the Scharnhorst Class.

Re: Ranking European best navies today
Alastride, I notice that you have not mentioned the Russian Navy, the Russians having the largest country and navy in Europe. Also worthy of mention is the Dutch Navy, which has a long tradition. The problem with a question like this is that there is no real combat record for which to compare them ...
