I'm insulted

Saw this on the supermotojunkie board,



Not entirely sure what it means but thought it was worth posting.


Maybe not...

RE: I

hey, except for the age and the fact that i don't live in a basement (don't have one and the parents didn't either) that could be me.
i too am insulted. :angry: :wink:

RE: I

think the picture is funny just don't get the quote. must be some 'in' joke behind it.

Hey Cypher,

I believe the point of the quote is that since Husaberg built the German war machine it was not reliable and broke down otherwise they would have won.

I "guess" I get the joke. On the other hand, I don't really find it to be insulting more than I find it to be incredibly stupid, and is a non surprising product of generation Y's education in the area of history. The only thing wrong with the German war machine ( with the obvious aside ) was it's leader. Had the German generals been allowed to fight the way they knew was right the world would probably be a much different place these days.

figured that out, was just wondering what prompted the maker to use it

yep. biggest mistake, thankfully for the rest of us, was taking on russia before he'd finished off western europe.

and not to allow Rommell to use the reserve Panzer divisions at Normandy, or the allies would have been repulsed there. What the German Military was really after at that point in the war was a stalemate, that would lead to cessation of hostilities and a treaty that would have kept the allied forces out of Germany. They knew that if they could stop in the allied invasion it would take the allies at least 18 months to recover, and then they would have focused their attention to the Russians, and the Russians would have been doomed, even with their T34 tanks. This further delay would have allowed the full scale production of the ME 262, and the V2 rocket. With these two weapons in enough quantity they would have achieved a suitable defensive strategy for the German skies, and a powerful enough offensive capability to keep the allied forces scrambling. Further, once air superiority was accomplished, the industrial basis would have recovered rapidly and further increased production of the aforementioned weapons. All they needed was that 12-18 month window.

And you are absolutely right, picking a fight with Russia and establishing a 3rd front, especially in winter, was the final mistake. As the saying goes, "those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it". All they had to do was look at what happened to Napleon when he took on Russia.

The Nazi's also did not do themselves any favors by going after the Jewish people, most of the senior jewish scientists left Germany, and without them, the Nazi's were not able to complete their nuclear weapon first.

Although, they did produce enough uranium oxide, that with the help of their Japanese allies, were going to make two dirty bombs that were to be dropped on the United States. One in San Francisco, or Los Angeles. And the other in New York. This cesium was to be transported by U boat to two awaiting Japanese "I" (eye) class submarines that had a large water proof structure on it's deck that would house a float plane attack aircraft contained therein. This cesium provided by the Germans was to be placed inside of two bombs that would have been detonated well above ground on the target cities and the uranium oxide would have rained down in what appeared to be snow. This would have resulted the death of hundred's of thousands of people and also making these cities un inhabitable.

However, and thankfully, the Germans surrendered while the U boat was en route to meet the Japanese subs. The German captain, being the professional officer he was immediately located an American warship and surrendered his craft. This was around June 12 or 15th 1945. It was upon learning these facts, and the uncertainty of whether Japan had in it's possession any more nuclear material, and Japans refusal for unconditional surrender, that then President Truman decided to drop the Atomic weapons on Japan.

And I'm especially glad that they did make the mistakes they did, or my Father may not have made it through a more extended war.

I'm wilh DaleEO. The implications of the "German war machine" are worthy arguments for theology. It is DEFINITELY NOT a good argument for technology.

To think that one country could virtually match much of the rest of the world in its technology over such a short period in history is incredible. I doubt that those that created this war machine could have had anywhere near their success in any other country at the time. Note the high regard held of German engineering still held today.

you guys realize that this was probably done by someone that at one time owned a lemon of a Berg. I'm fairly sure that they were aiming for emotional healing at the cost of accuracy. Add to that the fact that he's probably a product of the public education system and well, you're going to get some oversights and misinterpretations.

Am I the only one noticing the AT-AT (AT-ST?) in the background. Of course it would have been 'Berg R&D that would have come up with such a thing in the forties 8)

I think that pic is an awesome PS work.

Just in case anyone was wondering, the AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport) was considered the preeminent battle transport by the Empire. Manufactured at the Kuat Drive Yards, The machine was primarily designed to transport a large number of troops to the front line. It armament included two laser cannon and two smaller gas shield blasters. It could carry five speeder bikes and 40 troops and stood approx 20-22 meters tall. As opposed to the AT-ST (all terrain scout transport) which was much smaller and more agile, had only two legs, and could carry a maximum of two persons. It was mainly used as a recon vehicle.

looks like it worked :?

Risky, is this you?
