Re: The USA Presidential election 2024

People desiring to identify an antidote to the threat of Deep State Globalist dominion only need to identify whom they are trying hardest to destroy.

Re: The USA Presidential election 2024

Hi Byron, Well I have to stay home at Election Day because I am not an US citizen (but if I would be, I guess my sentiment would be the same; I honestly think from all fake-democracies the US is the most phony one). >>>>> Frankly, I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. But we resettled back t...

Re: The USA Presidential election 2024

Well, since the US is run by the CIA and the Pentagon on behalf of the military-industrial complex, the Israel lobby, and a few big cooperations anyway, it makes no difference at all if a senile war-monger or a senile pathological narcissist is sleeping in the White House.

Re: Blucher in Dogger Bank

Hi guys. In this battle Blucher was abandoned by the rest of the German ships, that could (orders notwithstanding) have stood by her. Was there any other case of a fellow ship left alone like this (in any war in the steam era)? Regards I’m only four and a half years late here 🤪, but the German ligh...

Re: KMS BLUCHER

The Germans were unaware of a torpedo battery near Oscarsborg's main gun battery at North Kaholmen Island. Built in 1901, it was equipped with three shore-mounted dual elevators firing the torpedoes via underwater tunnels. The torpedoes were Austro-Hungarian-built Whitehead torpedoes (in the torped...

Re: German rangefinders WWI

Hi Holger, Funny thing ..... while I was searching for that document re post-Jutland HSF rangefinder upgrades earlier this week, I also came across some even older material from another friend (long since sadly passed away) who had been a life-long afficionado of precision optics and a great authori...

Hi Holger, You are a lucky man! It took me a good amount of time to find the document (provided by an old researcher friend more than 20 years ago). The Imperial German Navy after Jutland Much is known of the Royal Navy's reactions to the unpalatable results of the Battle of Jutland. Indeed, not onl...
