Re: The USA Presidential election 2024

Hi Byron, " Keep in mind that our entire western media serve as homonculi of the US/EU/NATO cabal. " Frankly, I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. For example, those are the official "values" of Axel-Springer-Verlag, one of the largest news publishing cooperations in Euro...

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). But we resettled back to Europe. And in all the elections here for the first time I ...

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. Like all presidents in the...

Re: A correct attribution for the "Flash Effect" photo?

That is not circular logic. It is no logic at all.
This statement/reasoning is perfectly valid as an expression of what one believes, or as an opinion. But of course it is without any significance for a fact-based historical evaluation.

Re: A correct attribution for the "Flash Effect" photo?

In short, the photo can be 'interpreted' so as to support almost any pre-determined theory or, conversely, almost any theory can be successfully generated from the photograph. More work, of course, can be done analytically, but in this case it's probably futile because, in essence, in this case the...

Re: A correct attribution for the "Flash Effect" photo?

Dear Mr. Zurbriggen/Virtuani There was nobody capable to propose another different map matching available evidences. This means to me that the built map is more than sufficient to describe what actually happened, lacking another. I've created a theory, that based on the measurement of the temperatur...

Re: A correct attribution for the "Flash Effect" photo?

Oh no, there we go again. So be it. 1) The statement (or impression) that the interpretation "is consistent" with photos (or films) is non-sensical. We don't have any timing or other relevant AND robust meta-information on the photos and films, so it is not possible to make any judgment on...

Re: A correct attribution for the "Flash Effect" photo?

I think it is very easy to overthink the images and use them to create a variety of highly imaginative narratives. The question at heart, though, is does any of this cast any useful light on the action itself, historically? Would establishing the precise positions of all ships in the action on a se...

Re: A correct attribution for the "Flash Effect" photo?

I think there is a lot of interpretation for just one photo where only short parts of two barrels are visible. Of course it is possible, but as for other reconstructions, there is not really any hard evidence to make this possibility significantly more likely than others. Looking at the PE deck plan...

Re: A correct attribution for the "Flash Effect" photo?

Thank you Herr Nilsson, but I prefer to see this as one speculative interpretation, e.g. far from being strong evidence. There is nothing wrong with being in the realm of speculation (which might or might not be a correct guess of reality), one just has to be aware of the differences between evidenc...

Re: A correct attribution for the "Flash Effect" photo?

Apart from multiple other criteria: The dawn engagement was at extreme range, but Bismarck fires her secondaries in this picture. It's very safe to say NH 69730 is from the Denmark Strait Battle. How can you interpret this picture such that the secondary armament was fired? In my view, the only sol...

a) Based on your own battlemap (http://www.kbismarck.org/forum/download/file.php?id=3593) and assuming (as logical) that you have considered it as being the most accurate possible one, and the one that give to readers the best possible overview of the battle development (having signed and published...
