hey wat do u think if the H-class battleships and the J-class battlecruisers would have been completed and took part in the war.... do u think any ship constallation (eg POW and Hood and KGV) would have a chance against two H-class battleships? hahaha i doubt it, those would have been THE ultimate b...

hey when i first read Tirpitz vs. Richelieu i thought that's obious... Tirpitz is gonna win this, but after reaing the other comments, i checked up the specifications and saw that the french ship was not a lower opponent. to the argument Tirpitz did not see any action, i can just say so did the Rich...

hey i think it would be possible for the three germans to beat the japanese. although as mentioned before a lot of luck is needed... i rather agree with sergio, where one ship could be a distractor, while the two other would just put their broadsides into her. if we take out the possibilty of a 'Hoo...

well first of all he and Lindemann had a argument about following the HMS Prince of Wales or not. While Lindemann was for the chase, Luetjens DECIDED not to and run away. Second he did not understand or falsely interpreted the situation at the point where the British foreces had lost all contact wit...

hey in another poll many of the voters said that Admiral Luetjens was 'An intelligent and capable Admiral'. I strongly disagree with that. It might be that he was pretty capable before the 'Rheinuebung', but at the Rheinuebung he made all the mistakes, in my eyes. I would be happy if you could expla...
