It seems to me that in your opinion, historical thinking implies swallowing the lies fed to us by Churchill in his award winning books and by Stalin's historians (he didn't even bother to write his own lies). True history implies objective scrutiny and will often destroy the tangled web of deception to which we have been exposed throughout our lives. |
Where are your checkable references to your accusations?

What the hell are you talking about, Britain didn't have any tanks in Singapore. By the way have you ever been to Singapore or Malaya? I have, I served there. You are talking absolute rubbish

All of us are wise after the event. You need to be in the shoes of those at the time, not sit in your armchair puffing your chest out full of bluster and typing bullsh!te.

Every aircraft has problems when first designed. The Spitfire had skew gear problems forcing Alex Henshaw to bail out or crash land mre then once, the Rolls Royce Griffon had problems with spark plugs being forced out of the cyclinders, Rolls Royce Merlin engines over heated when fitted to Wellington Bombers. The list goes on and on

Name me one war where there wasn't chaos or blundering?
As I said, "You need to be in the shoes of those at the time, not sit in your armchair puffing your chest out full of bluster and typing bullsh!te."
