  1. European NATO Army alternatives: 1950 - 1990

    The French not wanting to sell to Germany, including Monsieur Dassault, is a myth. The West germans even sent a test pilot, Walter Krupinski, to fly the pre-series Mirage III, but since it was underpowered and not yet close to what the Luftwaffe wanted, they backed away.

  2. European NATO Army alternatives: 1950 - 1990

    @Simon The F-104G should never have been bought. It was a pure interceptor, and unsuited for pretty much everything else it wa supposed to do in the Luftwaffe (naval strike fighter, fighter bomber, nuke delivery platform). It was also extremely unforgiving to pilot error. While General...

  3. European NATO Army alternatives: 1950 - 1990

    Somebody brought up the Mirage III as an alternative to the Lawn Dart/Widowmaker/flying piece of shit F-104G. Yes. A thousand times yes! Maybe Franz-Josef Strauß gets a bit more money and mistresses from the French and dumps Lockheed...

    With a cavalry charge (tanks) down the slope of the Kahlenberg….

  6. The German Century

    Yup.

  7. The German Century

    She was Dutch, for all intents and purposes and more importantly, she felt Dutch. Hell, she emigrated at four years old and didn‘t have the best experiences witGermany and Germans.

  8. The German Century

    Born in Germany to German parents (Frankfurt am Main) in 1929. They emigrated to the Netherlands in 1933/34 qnd lost German citizenship in 1941.

  9. The German Century

    They were IOTL. The Alpine war was a special kind of nasty.

  10. The German Century

    Semyon Budenny in charge of more than a horse stable? Okay, that front is fucked. He was too dumb to wave from a driving bus. And yes, the figures of what the Russians are throwing into the fight are way too high.

  11. The German Century

    Quite simply, no.

  12. The German Century

    Have you ever heard about the train wreck that was an attempt at a TL here in which the WAllies ditch Normandy in favor of going via the East Frisian Islands? Yeah. It was bad 😁

  13. The German Century

    The West Frisian Islands are not one bit better than the East Frisian islands 😁

  14. The German Century

    Moving the goal posts, are we?

  15. The German Century

    Let‘s not get ahead of ourselves. Crossing the Rhine and the various other rivers on the way there is not going to be easy. This isn‘t OTL‘s 1945. I also fail to see how Britain alone (Market Garden was one Brit and two US abn divisions along with one Polish brigade) could manage to airdrop...

  16. The German Century

    It is not the area flooded that‘s important but the attackers would be forced to move along easily defined a es of advance where they can be targeted much easier. It also creates a series of traffic jams.

  17. The German Century

    Flooding the low areas of The Netherlands would make any war of movement a very slow slog through the mud. Do you have any idea how big the Ruhr area is? The whole of the French Army would be hard pressed to close a ring around it.

  18. The German Century

    That would be the only way possible. Cimino in his excellent "The German Way of War" gives numerous examples of Prussian/German field-grade commanders being akin to rabid dogs and exceeding the scope of their respective commanders' intent and through overzelaous attacking outpacing their support...

  19. The German Century

    That‘s exactly my thinking. ...And Prussian General Staffs do not panic 😉

  20. The German Century

    The Dutch would likely have flooded large parts of their country, thus impeding any enemy advance. Where are the Dutch and German air forces, come to think of it? I am also a bit skeptical about the somewhat disjointed German defence. They seem...underprepared. And I doubt that with a revanchist...
