Can you get me the Zip code to order those cherries. Looks like a good deal.

“But when she discarded the yoke of Versailles, Germany started from scratch, as it were. She initiated the development of a complete armament program, closely integrated with civil industry. Had the great nations grown old together in the gradual elimination of outmoded weapons, planes and equipment, no single nations could have gained so long a lead as Germany has. Contradictory as it may seem, Germany actually profited by the wiping out of her World War armament.”


Interesting observation so close to the situation. We learned from WWI that negotiated peace did not work so unconditional surrender was how WWII was going to end. I wonder how and if this observation was applied................

“..........Yet I doubt if many of the people know that for more than two years Germany has been turning out a million rounds of artillery ammunition a week......”


Just caught my attention. Would this be just the big stuff, or all ammunition?
