I haven't even seen Pearl Harbour, after reading the many reviews here. Re Titanic: It is a good film in many ways but there is one thing that annoys me, and that isn't accurate (from all I have read) - the film shows the stern section breaking off and crashing down into the sea. I have never read a...

Hi Como Keep the story coming, it is fascinating reading. I have a question for you. My mum's next door neighbour (sadly deceased a few weeks ago), always said he was on Exeter at the River Plate action, later moving to HMS Kent. From your description it sounds like you weren't on board for that act...

I doubt that much would have changed Karl. Britain's geographical position favoured her wrt the blockade, and I don't think the political will was there to take on the GF at anything approaching parity. I'm accepting your scenario at face value, although I think it unlikely that losses of 14 to 4(is...

She was a legitimate target for sure, but the cynics amongst us thought that she posed a serious risk to Mrs Thatcher's election chances had she not been sunk!! A sizable chunk of the British press speculated on the sinking being necessary to prevent a diplomatic peace being reached, thus ensuring M...

I don't accept that either Karl, as you probably know. But there was definitely something wrong that day. Well actually it probably goes back before the day of the battle, when he assigned his generals. Some of his decisions look very odd. I wonder if anyone has actually bothered to research this is...

Hi RF Mustard gas and chlorine are two different chemicals, in fact chlorine is an element, whereas mustard is a compound. I found some figures for comparison on this site: http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWWmustard.htm Obviously I cannot verify the accuracy of the figures: British Gas Casualti...
