Yes, I tried to say the Allies land in Portugal even if it is occupied by the Axis or not. That would move the historical Tunisian-Italian campaigns to the Iberian Peninsula in 1943-1944. Of course the British would occupy the Portuguese Azores first. Could Germany fight this war in 2 fronts Spain-R...

I agree the Spanish ships can't carry anough AA missiles to shot down every plane. But my question is, How are those obsolete American planes going to discover the Spanish ships in the Atlantic with their limited range? :think: The Spanish Navy could always avoid contact with the enemy thanks to the...

Hello all, First of all, Spain didn't have 3 million veteran army. 3 million men with age to fight (18-65) maybe, but that is different. Second, Franco had no desires to get involved in the war. Spain had nothing to gain at all from that war. There is Gibraltar that is very useful for the UK, but fo...

I think the Spanish Navy could win. :think: The modern radars of the Spanish Navy have at least 10 times more radius of action than the old US Navy sensors. The Spanish Navy could discover the US warships 600 miles away! And if the Spanish launch a couple of spotting aircraft the radius would be eve...

Today's Spanish Navy vs. WWII US Navy
What do you think about this "what if": Today's Spanish Navy with enough supplies and fuel versus the US Navy of World War II (1944-45). :shock: The theater of operations is the Atlantic and no other power intervenes. Only the US Navy full of WWII carriers, battleships, cruisers, etc. agai...

Mac and Rabb finally got together, that is good! :D I didn't see the episode of Mac boxing the Russian officer, but I remember another when Rabb and the Australian Officer Brumby got into a fight because of Mac and both ended well beaten. Admiral Chegwidden had to put things in its place. It's sad t...
