    Eh, no Nazi Germany didn't lose it's a talented pool of scientists and engineers. They lost some scientists and engineers, there were still more than enough scientists and engineers to pull off whatever projects they wanted. The analogy isn't that good.

    That's not why Germany lost the Second World War in the ETO and MTO. They lost because the United States had the ability to mass produce and Germany didn't. The Russian Front, the airwar, the war at sea were won and lost because of the American ability to build and ship stuff to Britian and Russia faster than the Germans could destroy it or build thier own.

    For example, sure it took 4-6 American tanks to knock out 1 Tiger in 1944, but the Americans were building 12 Shermans for each Tiger built, so even if 2-3 American tanks were knocked out for the single Tiger, there was still a net gain for the Allies.

    The Hitler Move was pissing off the Americans. If the Germans hadn't be in a situation where the Americans declared war on them in December 1941 or if the Americans hadn't sided with the UK and Commonwealth so strongly, Germany might have pulled off a settlement with the UK.

    The USSR had that one good winter offensive in them, but the Lend-Lease act's goodies that came after December 1941 gave them the ability to continue on and win at Stalingrad. For example, the "Stalin's Organs" rocket launcher formally a 1943 BM-13N ("Katyusha") was a Studebaker truck.

    T-34 is about 1.1 to 1.25 of a Panther. Now a Tiger was superior to a T-34 and then the Russians brought out the Josef Stalin for parity. They didn't outbuild the Tiger 12 to one, more like 4.5 to 1

    And don't forget where the T-34 came from, the United States and Germany, sort of.

    "In 1931 the Russians bought two Christie tanks from the US Wheel Track Layer Corporation in the United States. The Russians copied these, built Christie tanks, and then incorporated the Christie suspension system into the T-34. This was a further development of the T-32 tank. The first Russian Christies had the same engines as the U.S. Christie -- a Liberty 12-cylinder V-type of 338 horsepower with forced-water cooling. the T-34 incorporated the Christie suspension from the United States, but generally used a 500-horsepower V-type diesel developed from the German B.M.W. diesel engine."

    I was complaining about the fact that even the most insignificant abuse and misuse of authority these days brings out "Hitler" and "Nazi" comments. It only serves to dilute the gravity of what happened during that period in history, IMO.

    You completely misinterpreted my post. You, sir, are worse than Hitler.

      That's not what a transsexual is. That's what an intersexual is. A transsexual is someone who undergoes surgery to have their physical gender better match what they feel to be their psychological gender.
