Country:  | Trackend, thanks  I was woundering if any one would say anything.
Question for you all, would the end of the war have been any different if FDR did not die in office?

Country: | I do not think so. He died after VE Day anyhow and I think he would have dropped the bomb on Japan also.

Country: | Ok Just wanted to ask.
Yes I think he would have dropped the bomb, but I think he worked better with Churchill and Stalin.

Country: | Truman did not work well with Stalin because the war was over. No president would have worked well with Stalin after the war. You have to remember that England and the US were not really friends with the Soviets they just had a mutual enemy to take care of first.

Country:  | even during the war Stalin didn't really like us, he was extremely reluctant to let us launch raids against the tirpitz from bases in russia...........

Country: | Oh it was obvious the whole time they did not like each other. The US, England and the Soviet Union were very open about how they felt and the Soviets were very open about there ideas of Expanisionism also.

Country:  | Well, Churchill had Stalin pretty much pegged from the start. I think Roosevelt was a bit more hopeful about him, at least initially. Some "ally" he turned out to be. | |

Country: | As churcill said he would make allies with the devil if it mean't beating Germany. As you say Skim Churchill had no illusions about Stalin after all he did coin the phrase about the Iron curtain falling across post war europe

The Japanese took most of there ideas from the Germans. They used projects such as the Me-262, Me-163, V-1 rockets, and so forth. There Submarine (they did not use them as extensively as the Germans) were based off of German designs. The Germans were trying for an Atomic Bomb also and came way closer then the Japanese and may even have detonated a small dirty bomb in 1945. The uranium that that the Japanese were going to use was being sent to Japan on a German U-Boot and was captured by the allies.

Country: | Japan did have some good R & D, but they had problums with quality control and testing. Engines being the main issue. I do not understand why they did not use the subs more. They could have really done some damage, well more then they did.

Country: | You know it is funny neither Japan nor any of the Allies had that extensive of a sub program. The German's obviously believed in them and then after that I think it was the US that used the second most.

Country: | I would agree. I just cannot understand why with the resurch and commitment to a Navey they did not use subs more.
Question, dose anone know why the RN did not have more subs?
