I didn't say that. I said that Israel and Egypt appealed to the United States and the Soviet Union and were turned down because the United States didn't want World War III, you moron. Unfortunately, I see you're back here. Report me, and I'll report you. I came back here because I wanted to give...
I have proof. I have The History Of World War II. I got it for fifteen dollars when I lived in Maine. There were several chapters on the Battle of France.
One of them said that Petain wanted to surrender the French fortress city of
Verdun in 1916. Use your brains. Don't sit on them.
How about William L. Shirer's The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich? The 1973 British documentary The World At War and Victory At Sea, should also be required viewing. Both are very good shows.
The first versions of the Sherman had diesel engines. Much safer than the
gasoline engines that the Americans ultimately put in them. Diesel engines
are safer than gasoline engines in that they have a higher rate of combustion, and diesel fuel, unlike gasoline, doesn't ignite as fast. Diesel...
Maybe. However, that was what I heard back in the '70s or '80s. It's mentioned in Peter Wright's 1987 book Spycatcher, and I read a novel about it at the same time.
That's what De Gaulle wanted the French government to do but nobody listened to him. Convincing the government of Marshal Petain to go to the
colonies would be great in a perfect world but as it was, it was totally ASB,
and that has to say something about the French in 1940.
I went there. Interesting article. The Crabb Affair was six years prior to the Cuban Missile Crisis. I know that now. It's mentioned in Peter Wright's 1987
book Spycatcher. The documents from the former Soviet Union won't be declassified until 2057. That's 47 years from now.
I remember hearing about this back in the '70s or '80s. I'm not sure which one. I also read a novel about it. The title and author escape me. Back in October 1956, a Soviet battlecruiser, I can't think of the name right now, was in Britain on a courtesy call. A British MI6 agent named Crabbe, I...
Very true. However, what you seem to forget is that Both Israel and Nasser
appealed to their allies, the United States and the Soviet Union, for help and
both requests were refused. The United States, in 1956, was more interested
in preventing a nuclear war, just like it was in 1973. The birds...
The common British complaint about the American soldiers was the following: "The Americans are overpaid, oversexed, and over here."
The American retort was: "The British are underpaid, undersexed, and under
Eisenhower." Patton was up for a major command on D-Day prior to the slapping incident.
I was considering this for an airplane in an alternate history novel of my own that I'm writing. I gave it up because John G. Cramer, the Alternate View columnist of Analog, said that ramjets tended to burn a little too hot.
