Re: More on KGV Class main armament problems

I'm sorry, but many people on Kbismarck tend to forget why they are here: because they have been reading material posted by Antonio , Alberto , etc, since many years now. Would be interested to learn on what you base this statement on, or what makes you confident to speak for the motivation of othe...

Re: More on KGV Class main armament problems

. If such a mode of operations would have been adopted, probably many debates about the disengagement would have been non-existent... Well, there are not many debates. There is only one, and in my view, it is hilarious, childish, and ridicolous beyond all imagination. It is the 21st century, and gr...

Re: Message Traffic heard by RODNEY 24 May 1941

Please re-read your post and try to understand the failure. . There is no hope that any understanding will be gained. The best way to stop this painful and meaningless repetitions is not to react anymore. Attention-seeking personalities rely on a stage on which they can flourish, and creating disse...

Re: Message Traffic heard by RODNEY 24 May 1941

So far, of course, my simple question still awaits a cogent response. B Dear Byron, as an opinion , as uninformed as it might seem or be, my suggestion is to try to create a less aggravating dialogue, with less explicit demands. I know that the solidity of a house rests on the solidity of it's foun...

Re: More on KGV Class main armament problems

An argument may be made, I suppose, that withholding the records in some way increases the commercial value of an upcoming book, etc., but I don't think that's very likely. If the current situation continues, what is more likely is that when the book finally IS released, it will be negatively revie...

Re: Message Traffic heard by RODNEY 24 May 1941

Can any evidence be put forward to support this allegation? If not, it must be consigned to the realm of conjecture. Yet again ..... theories and opinions do not equal facts. B Byron, I hear your frustration. I've been there before. As mentioned, my solution was to simply stop replying to this endl...

History is not Mathematics, but both need to operate under scientific principles if they intend to have any purpose. For the rest of your statements, I invite you to read (and try to understand) my posting again, in particular the last paragraph. Squirming around the arguments won't help you escape...

History is not mathematics. This reconstruction is the "best" only until a better one comes along. So far you and other members have been repeatedly asked to provide a better alternative , which you failed to do. History is not Mathematics, but both need to operate under scientific princi...

Re: Message Traffic heard by RODNEY 24 May 1941

1) It is not known when, in a relative timeline, PoW has scored hits. 2) The same accounts for the time when Bismarck has started shooting. 3) As a consequence, these events can be pinned down with a relative accuracy of a few minutes at best. These are some of the facts, the rest are personal opini...
