Who knows arabians are fanatics (no offence to anyone)

It has been said here a few times... The biggest mistake of the politics of appeasment, mainly caused by France (Dalladier) and the UK (Chamberlain).

When Hitler occupied Czechoslovakia, he earned thousands of tons of weapons that were meant to fight against him originally. Of course, he used them in poland, France, Russia, some of them even in 1945... Hell, some of these were even used by Israel in 1948!

Underestimating the value of Czechoslovkia in 1938 during the Munich Agreement by France and Britian was the biggest mistake - it lead to a Second World War!

Hmm aweys in my head i though that Bren is a Czech weapon is it true ?

[pisis]

Of course. Bren is nothing else then a maimed name of the word Brno (2nd biggest city in the CZ - http://www.brno.cz/index.php?lan=en ).

Still popular in some of the socalled "3rd World countries"...

im new to this forum. Pisis u mention the apesment by france and chamberlin as a mistake of world war 2, firstly if i am thinkin of the same thing as u surely this came before world war 2 and secondly you can hardly blame them. When people thought of war they thought of the great war, boged down for years with such battles as the some and other deadly engagments for comfort, would u want to fight another war like that? 'coz i wouldnt

Hi koenstiger, welcome to the forum.

You're quite right about appeasement - but have a look at another thread where we disagreed on that too

The US should have come in earlier and that would have the effect of hopefully bring events that transpired forward a few years and ending it sooner

The US should have built up its forces during the late '30s, especially in forward areas such as Guam, Saipan and Manila , and instituted a system to move troops over long distances over the Pacific for rapid, efficient reinforcement.

And the fighting did not end with the Japanese surrender. Japanese holdouts continued to resist. My Papa told me of how American forces in late 1946 , even one year after the war ended, would shell Japanese-held islands until those resisting did finally surrender.
