I like what you guys do , this is good for history projects.
Where are the italian planes? terrificant Macchi 205 every american p38 or p51 escapes every time see an Macchi 205. WHY?
WHY you don't speak of MAcchi 205? Nazi's think to transport the lines of production in Germany because was SUPERIOR spitfire, p51 p38 and mosquitos.
Allied escapes every time see Macchi 205 and Fiat G55
excuse me for the little english language
becouse there was only 105 G.55 Producted and MC 205 shooted down many p 40 but by allies (Fuerza Aerea Italiana Cobeligerante? if im correct) used them only for recon.
It is well known that the Japanese made the request for surrender under the condition that their emperor (who they viewed as almost a deity) would not be subject to war crimes or be punished in any way. All of the higher ups in the U.S. pacific command believed the japanese would surrender within 6 weeks when asked about the possibility of nuclear bombs. The Japanese fleet at this point had pretty much been completely eradicated, firebombs were dumped on all major cities with little to no resistance. Sure, we had nuclear weapons and it would have been political suicide if Truman wouldn't have used this technology, but don't be narrow minded so much to believe dropping the bombs had nothing to do with showing the Russians, using the bombs simply because we spent billions developing them, or political necessity. It wasn't ever simply use the bombs or 1,000,000 Americans die. (BTW the same terms of surrender the Japanese were willing to take before the 2 bombs were dropped were agreed by MacArthur after they were dropped)
The Japanese were guilty of war crimes as well, but if we were to have lost… even McNamara agrees most U.S. commanders in the pacific would have been guilty as war criminals.
