Walsingham Posted February 18, 2006 Author Posted February 18, 2006 It's solitary, but not complete solitary. They can see outside. But no-one talks to them. You could be right, but then Gitmo keeps people like that, and if they were bonkers surely this would have surfaced. Even if it does make people go weird this fits neatly into the cthulhu mythos anyway. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

Baley Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 "I hate you." Stranded in the prison of Argil, doctor Boll was biting his perpetually growing fingernails for the rats to devour, the rodents became his sole confiders and with time, the old man grew to cherish them as his own children of lesser birth. Righteous parents eat their fattened children, lard being good for the soul of man and beast alike. "A feast", he decreed that day, absorbing them all in one wholesome swoop. He laughed. They laughed. I laughed. We all laughed, joining hands and praising the Lord. And then they raped him and I laughed again, praise the Lord. The aliens, you can smell them, the rotting smear of Judeo-soap was forever embedded on their callow bones. They come at night, plundering your intestines, violating your feeble dignity, they laugh, I laugh. Ha ha ha. "The aliens are your friends" the whisper says at night, the whisper is your friend, never forget, what's life without friends? "Ha Ha" Rejecting the word is bad, they say, rejecting the Lord is bad, bad, bad, BAD!! You pray, lords deflower your hope, your hope is ashamed, your hope forsakes you, you laugh. "Ha Ha" "Soap!" The bones wail at night. You laugh. "ha Ha" "Ha Ha" "ha Ha ha Ha Ha ha ha" You sleep, the walls **** you, you sleep, the vermin **** you, you live, society ****s you. "Ha Ha." You're ****ed. Silence is forever. "Ha ha Ha."

Walsingham Posted March 5, 2006 Author Posted March 5, 2006 They were only successful when we used generals whose notion of a supreme HQ did not include things like a radio. Or telephones. the Nazis had no operational dimension to their thinking, and their strategic direction was handled by someone with intuitive genius, and conscious idiocy. "It wasn't lies.

Walsingham Posted March 5, 2006 Author Posted March 5, 2006 Rommel was good tactically, but he showed little operational cognition. Just the usual attack anywhere they are weak.

metadigital Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Thanks for that! (w00t) Well, I'm no doctormarote, but I do specialise in ww2 history for fun. And particularly the behaviour of the various general staffs. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Listen, mush, they are televising the Sandhurst 1974 re-creation of Hitler's invasion plan of Britain (using some of the surviving German and British officers). Just like the Normandy landings of our timestream, 8000 German paratroopers, landed behind the defences whilst the stukas divebombed strategic military targets, rather than London. The coastal defences provided the planned delay of about 3hrs. Then came 7000 men and support. 90,000 German troops on British soil on first day. At this time, the Royal Navy arrives from its Orknay safe harbour (away from the pre-invasion stuka raids). No tanks meant that the Blitzkreig strategy was unbalanced. Critical moments: a third of German troops lost, just 60,000 left and the British forces had massed in front of them (with the Navy behind) meant that the week long invasion was (conveniently) defeated. And that's with old generals and Hitler's invasion plan. Just imagine how they would have done on their own merits! OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

Walsingham Posted March 10, 2006 Author Posted March 10, 2006 quote from P.J. O'Rourke on the Nazi uniforms: no-one has ever fantasised about being taken roughly by someone dressed as a liberal. Rommel was strategically naive. He was tactically a true genius, and operationally ignorant. Hardly surprising given his personal history.

metadigital Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Meaning that the Germans weren't operationally ignorant ... okay, try this: how can Blitzkrieg work without operational acumen?

Walsingham Posted March 13, 2006 Author Posted March 13, 2006 Blitzkrieg was definitely not coordinated. And the vaunted efficiency of blitzkrieg only worked when the Allies were buried neck deep in mental sand! I recommend you have a squizz at 'In Pursuit of Military Excellence' for more. Or indeed, 'Barbarossa' by David Glantz. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.
