Wow. I am always amazed at how little history I really know.

I know what you mean. It's the little things we learn here, the details. Seems I used to think I knew a lot because I knew the 'big picture', boy was I wrong.

Speaking of learning things here.

1912 Werner von Braun Wirsitz Germany, rocket expert

I learned of Werner von Braun from a song that Sam sings. I'm sure if I read down this thread a little bit he's posted it today. :-)

GM, snippy,et.al.

one of the quotes from an official report by a General of the Red Army (i can't remember his name- Russian names are really HARD for me for some reason or other, which is why WAR & PEACE is NOT one of my favorite novels) was:

"i found to my complete horror & surprise, that i was fighting the SAME five thousand Finns at every terrain feature & was accomplishing NOTHING, except killing a LEGION of my own comrades." (emphasis: mine)

Thank You, snippy for the great research on this war. I know some folks who fought in that war.
