no, Russia still sucked from WW1 they led suicide charges as if it would work


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Russia#Industrialization_and_Collectivization

Read the part where they industrialize. Russian forces were a key part in winning WWII. The smashed through the eastern front despite heavy oposition from several armor divisions trying to secure valuable resources, and other elite infantry. It was also the Russians who took the Reichstag in Berlin. To say that they sucked is a great dishonour. Their method was costly, but effective. Man up front carries a gun, man behind carries the ammo. When the gunman dies the ammo carrier picks up the gun and shoots. The Russians were very much like the Japanese where they simply refused ti surrender.

This wasn't exactly by choice...they didn't have many resources and so had a soldier up front with a loaded gun, and the guy behind him with more ammo after that guy got shot. It was not a prime tactic, but they didn't have guns for all of their soldiers. Russia suffered by far the most casulties in each world war, so saying that such a tactic is good would be false. It did work, but only because they had so many people that they just overran the defenders.

wrong


they did suck it's called a war of attrition how you gonna kill russians if your bullet is out of guns and your blade is bull from stabbing russians

they were costly but in the least amount of the word "effective"

i doubt charging into a well defended position with something as deadly as your fists is very "effective"

define 'directly' on the atomic bomb.

*facepalm*
He contributed to it by creating the equation, but he did not intend the equation for that use, did not know that the equation would be used for the bomb, and did not actually work on the bomb himself. His work was used in the bomb, but he did not want it to be. That is indirect.
He worked on it. there.

No, Einstein did not work on the atomic bomb.
Saying Einstein worked on the atomic bomb is like saying that the person who invented sugar worked on the chocolate cake.

and the US was in the Rev. War, WWI, Spanish-American war, war of 1812, etc. And they all counted. Every single one mattered.

When did I say those wars didn't matter?

Where did you get that information. Einstein was one of the leading physicists for analyzing the compostition of the atom, and thus worked on the Manhatten Project. Other leading scientists included both Niels Bohr and Enrico Fermi, who were both revolutionary in atomic physics.

For 28 days Poland has been won, and in Stalingrad for 28 days Germans took some houses. For 38 days France has been won, and in Stalingrad for 38 days Germans have promoted on the one hand streets on another...

On June, 23-24rd 1941 one KB from the second tank division has locked one of roads in southern Lithuania, at the city of Rasejnjaj, constraining advancement of Germans. At first the column of lorries with supplies has been unexpectedly burnt. Around there was a marshland иKBзанимал a dominant position. Supply of the advanced German armies by an ammunition, fuel and the foodstuffs has been blocked; evacuation of critically wounded patients to which urgent operations were necessary became impossible, they died. The Soviet tank has sustained set of attacks: the battery 50мм anti-tank guns could not line the heavy tank from distance 500м and has been destroyed by its fire; the Soviet tankmen have allowed to establish 88мм an antiaircraft gun on distance 700м and have shot it together with calculation; night attack of sappers by success too has not crowned. Shell hit 105мм howitzers has damaged to our tank a caterpillar, but it continued fight. Only later 2 days (on which extent all 6Ñ the German tank division could not move forward!) Using 50 (!) tanks for derivation (they simulated attack from the different parties), Germans could line KB, is reserved having established 88мм an antiaircraft gun.
Diving bombers have not been used by Germans since it has not been received permissions to use "squadron Ю87 against one tank".
Crew KB had some possibilities to leave the tank, but heroes have preferred to do the duty.


Alexander Mamkin at night with 10 for April, 11th, 1944 in ninth time has arrived for children. As airdrome the lake Vechele, however spring ice was used became fragile and it was necessary to accelerate evacuation.
That night in Р-5 Ðамкин it was possible to contain 10 children, their teacher Valentine Latko and two adult wounded men the guerrilla. However on a return way on approach to a front line the plane has been attacked by a German night fighter and has been lined.
The pilot has crossed a front line already by the burning plane. Under the instruction it should gain height and jump out with a parachute, but, having live people onboard, has not made it. From the lighted up motor the flame has reached a cabin of the pilot. The clothes burnt, flight points have fused. Alexander's feet have charred to bones, but it continued flight, yet has not found a suitable platform on the bank of lake near to an arrangement of the Soviet parts. Even the partition separating a cabin of the pilot from passengers by then has burnt through, and on some children the clothes have started to decay.
Alexander Mamkin has got out of a cabin itself, but to move could not any more. Before to lose consciousness, it has asked a unique question: «Children are live?». The appeared in time soldiers immediately have forwarded Alexander to hospital, but burns were too extensive and strong. On April, 17th, 1944 he has died. All passengers of the plane were saved.

soldiers don't suck.

war sucks. what about TALKING about it, and not shoot eachother down? I mean, what is the whole point?

another fact about WWII:

- how many dutchcitizens were in the netherlands at that time? ten million. how many of the dutch were in the dutch resistance? twenty million. (well known joke about the exaggerated proud that is common to most people.)

The Japanese were willing to accept a conditional surrender before the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. The condition was that they were to keep their monarchy.

Which we let them do anyway.

i doubt that they would've killed every last Japanese man woman and child, but when they figured the Americans didn't have to invade to kill them all they kinda gave up
