Darn, you're good.

Where'd you find all that?

Glad you liked it. Just from books in my library and when I visit my brother-in-law/Sister's home with his extensive WWI/WWII/misc library. Get some quick confirming sources via Google to back up the points since quick confirmation is better than a footnote type cite for a book which may not be available.

There are errors in history, that's unavoidable. My problem with poster JB6 is not that of just a difference in the minor details of the historical record ("Mr. Spock, I believe that the US shipped 400,000 trucks to the USSR in the Second World War". "No Captain, it was 405,733 to be precise") I have a real problem when an argument put forth depends on a personnally-held historical fallacy which has no support from ANY historical record. JB6 thinks that the US never produced another atomic weapon until 1949. I wonder how all those two atomic tests at Bikini Atoll in July 1946 happened...
