Once the Germans had been stopped at Moscow, and the ordinary Russian found out what was to happen if Germany won the war, it was only a matter of time. Thinking today, there was a lot of very nasty things happening in Manchuria before the Russian Invasion and after it, which is not really known in The west. I have been told that is is noticed that Japanese tourists do not leave litter behind them, wheere Chinese tourists do, I remember in a Muslim country the tourist bus stopped and people got off to see something, and one discarded a wrapper, A flock of sheep saw it and pounced. -- greymausg@mail.com That's not a mousehole!

Roosevelt kept telling the Pacific commanders (asking for more resources) that Germany could win the war w/o Japan, but Japan couldn't win the war w/o Germany ... and so Germany had to be 1st priority ... 3/4s of German military were fighting Soviets and D-DAY was strictly side show for Germany. Sand and Steel https://www.amazon.com/Sand-Steel-Invasion-Liberation-France-ebook/dp/B07PPVG8HG/ pg19/loc992-98: However, OB West's remaining twenty-three Bodenstandige (static position) divisions were either immobile or reserve infantry formations, with low Kampfwert (combat effectiveness) ratings. They were assessed as incapable of taking on offensive missions, and suitable only for limited defence. For the latter's transportation needs, in Rundstedt's domain there were 115,000 military horses on strength, a stark reminder of how reliant on these creatures the German armed forces were in 1944 - by contrast, the Allies would bring with them not a single equine. 3 A year earlier, roughly twenty-five per cent of officers stationed in France had fought in Russia; by 1944, this figure had almost doubled to sixty per cent. This did not necessarily reflect a reinforcement of the west, but a higher proportion of wounded and convalescing leaders. pg38/loc1415-18: It still comes as a surprise to many that the German Army in Normandy was predominantly horse-drawn. When Second Lieutenant Bob Sheehan of the US 60th Chemical Company (an outfit responsible for smoke weapons) breasted a rise over the dunes of Omaha on 7 June, he saw 'a mind-shattering sight that convinced me the war was as good as won. It was a dead horse. The poor animal was still attached to the wagon it had been pulling. pg39/loc1421-24: We have already noted that 115,000 of them were assigned to OB West, with exactly 33,739 on the books of the Seventh Army on 1 March 1944, and another ten thousand arriving by 1 June. 60 These numbers came as a shock to Rommel, who, of course, had commanded the 7th Panzer Division in 1940 and the Afrika Korps in 1941-3, neither of which used horses. pg47/loc1600-1604: The stature of the Nazi war machine, forged in North Africa, Italy and on the Eastern Front, was still feared in 1944, though demonstrably hollowed out. It also helped Berlin that the Western Allies, particularly the 21st Army Group, were also excessively cautious, which played to the German inclination - despite their convoluted command - of tactical speed of reaction. Finally, it also suited many Allied commanders after the war to talk up the prowess of their opponents, making the achievement of subduing them all the greater. ... and part of horrific fighting on Omaha beach (from US army war college, free PDF) ... high altitude, heavy strategic bombing almost never hit the target (however, 2/3rds of total US WW2 spending went to strategic bombing program) https://ssi.armywarcollege.edu/2011/pubs/the-european-campaign-its-origins-and-conduct/ loc2582-85: The bomber preparation of Omaha Beach was a total failure, and German defenses on Omaha Beach were intact as American troops came ashore. At Utah Beach, the bombers were a little more effective because the IXth Bomber Command was using B-26 medium bombers. Wisely, in preparation for supporting the invasion, maintenance crews removed Norden bombsights from the bombers and installed the more effective low-level altitude sights. ....

There was an article in Readers Digest years ago which compared German and French Illnesses. What would ailments be disgnosed and treated for in both countries. ( It did not consider Alsace!)

How Did America's Sherman Tank Win against Superior German Tanks in World War II? Two tank philosophies, totally at odds with each other. What were they? https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/how-did-americas-sherman-tank-win-against-superior-german-tanks-world-war-ii-185625 From Guderian's Panzer Leader https://www.amazon.com/Panzer-Leader-Heinz-Guderian-ebook/dp/B07KTBSD1L/ loc2902-3: Hitler then said: 'If I had known that the figures for Russian tank strength which you gave in your book were in fact the true ones, I would not--I believe--ever have started this war.' loc2903-6: He was referring to my book Achtung! Panzer!, published in 1937, in which I had estimated Russian tank strength at that time as 10,000; both the Chief of the Army General Staff, Beck, and the censor had disagreed with this statement. It had cost me a lot of trouble to get that figure printed; but I had been able to show that intelligence reports at the time spoke of 17,000 Russian tanks and that my estimate was therefore, if anything, a very conservative one. loc2262-64: At this time our yearly tank production scarcely amounted to more than 1,000 of all types. In view of our enemies' production figures this was very small. As far back as 1933 I had visited a single Russian tank factory which was producing 22 tanks per day of the Christie-Russki type. ... snip ... Tanks in the German Army https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanks_in_the_German_Army First encountered on 23 June 1941,[24] the T-34 outclassed the existing Panzer III and IV.[25] At the insistence of General Heinz Guderian, a special Panzerkommision was dispatched to the Eastern Front to assess the T-34.[26] Among the features of the Soviet tank considered most significant were the sloping armor, which gave much improved shot deflection and also increased the effective armor thickness against penetration, the wide track, which improved mobility over soft ground, and the 76.2 mm gun, which had good armor penetration and fired an effective high-explosive round. ... snip ... The british referred to Shermans as Tommy Cookers because crews were being sent out to be slaughtered; Boyd's briefings had German's with 10:1 kill ratio (10 Shermans killed for every German tank, even inferior to the Russians), US was planning on winning with battle of attrition; Germans would run out of tanks and crew before the US (even at 10:1) ... although US folklore running out of crews and having to recruit kitchen staff and cooks. http://warfarehistorynetwork.com/daily/m4-sherman-vs-german-panther/ The Sherman was at a disadvantage. Although it mounted 75mm cannon, it was of a low-velocity type. The Sherman's designers felt that a low-velocity gun would last longer than a high-velocity one. They failed to realize that few Shermans would ever last long enough in combat to wear out their barrels. Later versions would have an upgraded high-velocity gun, but they would not reach front-line units until late November 1944, five months after the Normandy invasion. The armor, at 81mm, was considerably thinner than the Panther's and unable to withstand its armor-piercing ammunition. ... snip ... -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970

We would have won, but the situation afterward could have been quite different. The Soviet Union declared war on Japan the same week we bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If the war had gone on longer, in all likelihood Japan would have been divided into Soviet and US zones rather than Korea. It's also not out of the question that we might have had a negotiated peace that left Japan with some of their conquered territory. I doubt we would have let them keep the Philippines but France was in no condition to demand that they return Vietnam nor the Netherlands to return Indonesia. -- Regards, John Levine, johnl@taugh.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly

But not in our first raid. Same for Germany. Especially Berlin, being the capital of Nazi Germany (still is the capital of the Federal Germany today again since October 1990). There were 363 raids on Berlin alone, leaving much of the city in ruins. Interestingly and often overlooked the first raid in 1940, while the Nazis were still conquering France was done by a single French plane. Some of the bombs were tossed out of a window by the co-pilot. Didn't cause much damage like the first raid on Tokyo by carrier based bombers (Doolittle Raid). Purpose was merely to show the enemy that their respective homelands were vulnerable, and boosted the moral of the allies. -- Andreas https://news-commentaries.blogspot.com/

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were firebombed in the same manner. There were no nukes. That is just psychological propaganda, like the old red mercury grift. The organs finally admitted that red mercury was a hoax. They just haven't gotten around to telling you that nukes are also a fairy tale. It baffles me how neo-liberals are totally oblivious of facts, except for the ones they want to believe. Thermonuclear weapons are a total fiction. The war theatre of WWII was scripted by MI5 and orchestrated by MI5 agents placed in the administrations of numerous countries, including Roosevelt, several of Hitler's cronies, and dozens of British spies in America's intelligence apparatus. Hitler was more loyal to the British than he was to the Germans. Explain Dunkirk, and Hitler's written rationale for that. Had he taken all the soldiers at Dunkirk, it would have devastated British manpower. The whole war was a dog and pony show. Britain engineered the holocaust. The Jews should be concerned over the British intelligence organs as much as they are with Germany. Germany was merely her willing henchman to do the dirty work. This is why the British-run neo-liberal establishment never stops talking about the holocaust. It's not because they care about Jews. It's because they care about deflecting blame away from them for organizing the eugenics insanity that happened in Germany. It was all started by British eugenecists, and fed in to the heads of simple-minded Krauts, with their half-English Fuhrer. But you all go on, keep blowing smoke up each other's hinder parts about the British and Washington sanctioned versions of "history" being canonical or whatever. FDR set up the fleet at Pearl Harbor for slaughter so he could drag America into fighting Britian's war. -- ──┏━━━━┓──┏━━┓───┏━━┓── ┌────────────────────────┐ ┌────────┐ ──┗━━┓─┃──┗┓─┃───┗┓─┃── │ Spooky Mart [chan] 711 │ │ always │ ─────┃─┃──┏┛─┗┓──┏┛─┗┓─ │ https://bitmessage.org │ │ open │ ─────┗━┛──┗━━━┛──┗━━━┛─ └────────────────────────┘ └────────┘

If > things had gone differently at Midway the war might have had a completely > different outcome. Pearl Harbor: Hawaii Was Surprised; FDR Was Not https://thenewamerican.com/pearl-harbor-hawaii-was-surprised-fdr-was-not/ Naval Commander Kimmel ordered the fleet out of Pearl Harbor and into the North Pacific out of harm's way. Roosevelt ordered the fleet back to Pearl Harbor shortly before the attack to "avoid provoking the Japanese." Yet history and diaries show that FDR's policy was one of constant provocation. FDR was a Marxist sodomite, and a mass murderer who betrayed America to get her into a war for his British handlers. Senior Japanese Officers opposed and protested the attack on Pearl Harbor, yet the orders from HQ were to deny their protests. Officers in US Naval Intelligence warned FDR about impending Japanese retaliation. The men at the top on both sides had already worked out how they were going to orchestrate the war and divide the spoils. FDR was chiefly a British agent, orchestrating American policy for the benefit of the British. You believe that your country exists. In reality it's an open air prison ruled by the same people who rule all the other open air prisons known as countries. Do you believe that cave-dwellers with boxcutters did 911, too?
