And I'm a mod as well and dont need you to correct me.... If u feel the need to say soemthing like that, U can PM me.....

Actually as a moderator Im higher up than you...

And if you didnt want other people to get involved you should have PM'd him, not posted it in a public forum where anyone can reply...

And why should I listen to a random 38 year old who I dont know, I dont give a toss about age difference, it means practiacally nothing in my world...

And if you dont care about other peoples feelings you need some therapy.

Another thing, if you reply saying ive completely contradicted myself I havent, cos up there you said you dont care what people think of you which means you should give a crap what I tell you...

He who askes is foolish for 5 min's, and he who dosent is foolish forever,

True. I was in the exact same situation as NH when I first joined, and now im capable of holding my own in an argument and im a lot smarter than I was on the subject. NightHawk just needs a little education, after all, I think its good for people to show interest in the subject and wish to learn more, we cant let the memories of these great machines and pilots be forgotten...

PM if u feel the need to talk down to me.... Insults are allowed here.... And he deserved to be insulted.... Everyone complained about him and insulted him in the past.... No different now, escepecially when he said "I guess no one misses me"... Just confirming 4 him....

Therapy and psychological drugs have already been tried.. There is no cure for me short of going and visiting the Dali Lama....

That was by far one of the gayest and queerest comments I have yet to see on this website.... Please refrain from saying anything further like that.... U may end up warping some innocent childs mind....

Do us both a favor, and the next time u wanna insult me or embarrass me, do it by PM....... Thanks for ur cooperation and please stop by again....

cheddar cheese · 12-16-2004, 03:15 PM

Dude, it is NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ok to insult someone publicly on the forums...how much did you slip horse to get him to make you a mod...

No cos my Dad's family and itd just be retarded to insult him, but when a random guy who thinks insulting people is perfectly ok of whom im never gonna starts insulting people just because they might appear a little simple (sorry NH) then that kinda pisses me off. Generally, im a polite teenager (yes, they do exist) whos a bit quiet and doesnt get involved in things. It take a pretty screwed up person (you on drugs?) to wind me up...

Actually I reckon 90% of the people here would agree with me on that...hell I followed that statement nearly a year back and im glad I have a new interest.

Yeah thats true, but then I asked him to to cool it off a bit and he did - credit to him. I know he aint the sites most perfect member but hes far from being a prat. And I get the feeling when he said "I guess no-one misses me" he was actually joking...

cheddar cheese · 12-16-2004, 03:19 PM

And it aint just now either - you been like this in the past too...

evangilder · 12-16-2004, 03:41 PM

Les and CC, could you guys please take this offline. You guys are both moderators and should know better than make your quarrels public.

cheddar cheese · 12-16-2004, 03:49 PM

I know, its not very mature of us...The simple fact of the matter is though that Les insulted someone, being a mod I told him not to and he threw a tiff about it...

Stopping now though, lets get this back on topic

I think Perl Harbor was the most important with the BOB a close second.

The BOB is critical because it was esential in fighting Germany not only location but the Brits attitude was too.

PH was important because it brought the US together in a common purpose the whole package Manufacturing included anything less would not have done the job. I think resorces/manufacturing more than any other single factor won WWII.

I ran accross a program about some of Hitlers papers - The World was his plan. Had he taken Brittan before he went after Russia he might have made it with the Isolationist bull that America was living at the time.

The most important battles of World War 2 were;

1) The Battles for Yugoslavia and Greece
Mussolini attacked Greece without telling Hitler. After Mussolini's attack attack on Greece failed, Hitler launched Operation Marita, the attack on Yugoslavia and Greece. This delayed Operation Barbarossa by two months(!) and the prescence of German troops in Yugoslavia made Soviet leaders suspicious.
So Mussolini may singlehandedly have lost the Axis the war!

2) The Battle for Moscow
After Operation Barbarossa was delayed by two months, the German army reached Moscow in November, where it was beaten back by the armies of Zhukov and Panfilovec
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Moscow

Also the submarine war in the atlantic; if Hitler had allowed more U-boats to be made prior to the war, the Britain could have been starved into surrender by 1940/1941. However, if Britain had surrendered in 1940/early 1941, then Stalin would feel very nervous because the Soviet Union would be the only major power left in Europe apart from the Third Reich. So in fact it was in Hitlers advantage for Britain to remain undefeated before the launch of Operation Barbarossa to keep Stalin guessing about whether it was Britain or the Soviet Union which would be attacked next.
It is also interesting to find out how crucial the Allied convoys to the Soviet Union were. For example, the Soviet counterattack depended on American trucks to carry the Red Army troops and supplies.
