American P-51 and 47 at the end of the war in terms of fighter planes.

Yes, no doubt the Mustang was a Master of its own class, but didnt the Germans build the first fighter jet? I know it couldnt land, or something, but thats what caused the ( I believe, not sure) the Allies to steal the thing no?

The Germans did own the battlefield with the tank as well. Ya have to give it too them. Germans didnt make some serious hardware. I think the only way to get around that, was again, Commandos of Britain I think, to take out fuel depots for the tanks. I may have correct info, to many war movies, Call of Duty or all three LMAO.

They had three jets as prototypes, and one got over the experimental state and fought at the frontline, the Messerschmitt 262. It had two very vulnerable, unreliable engines and had to be protected by other fighters during start and landing. But the armament was devastating for the time, up to 4 x 30mm cannons in the nose section.
What you meant is the rocket-propelled fighter Me 163, it threw away its wheels after the start and landed on a skid. Had a maximal time for fighting about 10 minutes until the rocket fuel was empty. The two components of the fuel were dangerous during filling and handling.
The tanks are a long story, they had some good models, yes. But the allies had much more of them and that's what counts at the end.

That's a great construction.
20mm Lahti AT rifle as a static weapon on a train wagon and the cuttings in the wooden beams allow one to use it as a Flak too.

That's a great construction...

Mr. McM, this is off-topic, but since you live in Germany I have a question for you...

Would you agree that Germany has been ruined...or is being ruined...by the "open borders" policy of Angela Merkel?

Croatia, '91, the sniper rifles look like the Zastava M76 which still can shoot the old German 7.92 x 57 round from the war.

Bavarian 'Landsturm' in Russia. (Landsturm were the drawn elderly former soldiers called in WW1 and before).

Tommy gun and M1 Garand was always well-liked by the Germans! Same with the Russian semi-auto rifles.

The asymmetrically built observer plane Blohm & Voss 141, Germany WW2. Had holdings for 4 small bombs and some MGs for defense.

It's like the real life millennium falcon.

Yes, but in the end we gave them a damn good thrashing. Tough old buggers, but me, Archie, and Boffo saw them off and was home in time for tea. Smashing.

I say old chap, that's a jolly good post.

I always get quite chuffed whenever I hear of Negroes getting a damn good thrashing.

Cheers mate!
