I find the name inoffensive even though the Nazis threw more bombs on my country than any other place in the world per metre squared and tried to starve my nation to death.

You also admire and love italians even though they also murdered maltese people in WII, so really doesnt say much!

Pointless. You are really very, very biased and not capable of going beyond your biases. I know that you love the British and hate (loathe?) Italians. No need to reiterate that. Bud did you know that just before World War II the British wanted to "donate" Malta to Italy as a friendly gesture? That's how much they cared about Malta...just a colony in their empire which they could dispose of when and how they wanted.

Come on hulmey. Besides even the British did bad things over here when they opened fire on the civilian population. Remember 7th June? The war has passed. It's been over for more than 60 years. Since then many things have changed. Learn to go beyond your biases or else you arguments will never be objective. Or do you mean that you still hate the Germans and the Italians for the events of World War II to this day and always will?

You're quite sure again, even though WWII is my favourite period and nearly all information regarding this subject is widely available (yes, it's true, people outside of Britain read books!).

I don't see why you would want to call me an idoit (sic) instead of providing some augmentation (sic), but if Ruben understands what you're reffering to (sic), all must be dandy! Carry on, soldier.

Because of this, all the people on CC who are still sad because Nazis hadn't won the the WWII (get over it already you girlyman ), hate Goering and find it insulting that someone had chosen "Hermann Goering" as his nick.

Why not the name you said you wanted to use originally? Erwin Rommel, wasn't it?

kletka wrote:What a stupid nonsense is this Battle of Britain was f****ed strategically, not tactically. There was no way Germany could have won the battle of Britain just by areal bombardments without nuclear weapons. The only way was to land the troops, which in turn required strong navy, not just a bunch of krietzmarines Germany was working on improving its navy but it never got even remotely close to british.

Finally, even with a successful landing there was a comrade Stalin, waiting in the bushes to liberate Europe A major landing in Britain would be suicide in this situation...

But one new piece of primitive technology was totally underestimated by the Germans who only bothered knocking out the radar towers along the east coast once. It was radar's ability to detect German planes crossing the English Channel which allowed the RAF to scramble all available fighters to intercept and give the English their only chance to holding off the Germans. That might qualify as a strategic & tactical combo, but regardless of your perception... it was a huge blunder.

Comrade Stalin could only provide a distraction to the Nazi high command as the Battle of Britiahopen continued, because the German armies had invaded and moved deep into Russia.

Mate, you are wrong hopelessly wrong. I repeat that it was impossible to bomb a large nation into oblivion. The precision of carpet bombing would make any serious damage to the targets uneconomical. Look at the recent war in Serbia. The mighty US was pouring precision weapons but the air-defense capability was still there in a month. Targeting radar in the Battle of Britain would help tactically but not strategically. British would have just rebuilt them. Remember fighter aircraft had at most 20 minutes to operate after crossing the channel, which made bombers on both sides to operate essentially without cover.

I dont think that even nazis seriously thought about bombing into oblivion but rather submission, i.e. breaking nation's will to fight, as happened in Serbia in 1999. And they were essentially out of other options

Finally, by the time Germany moved deep into Russia (1941), the battle of Britain (1939-1940) was over.
