You might've burned down the white house but you got your asses handed to you in that war, not to mention you lost the american revolution to a bunch of farmers?

Helped in no small measure by France.

Also don't forget your newly formed "Ranger" unit is based off ours, which is the best in the ...

The best bit is the "We fear only god" malarky they have on some of the pages. It's worth a look at the whole site just for a good laugh.

Hitler mad many mistakes including;

a) Declaring war on the USA

Apparently he did this expecting Japan to declare war on Russia in a reciprocal move thus forcing the Russians to leave their Siberian reserves to defend against possible Japanese action.

He probably got quite a shock when he ...

They had a third Bismarck/Tirpitz class battleship under construction which was apparently undergoing conversion to a carrier but never got completed. If my memory serves me correctly it was going to be called the Graf Zeppelin.

So you're proposing that all the engineers and scientists in the US, Soviet/Russian and Chinese programmes have been conned into working on projects that aren't actually happening and that no one has spilled the beans over the course of nearly 40 years of manned space flight?

So are you saying you think the moon landings were faked?

The Euro fighter can not be used on a carrier, not even on the new ones that they might build. This has already been looked at and found to be a non starter, I would imagine that the air frame can't take the strain of the hook.

I'm with most people here, I don't agree with his politics but the great thing about Tony Benn is his understanding and support of technology. Remember he was the champion of the TSR2 and Britains early space programme.
