| Tribunus Laticlavius | Never understood holocaust deniers myself but either way the I don't disagree with the sites analysis of this particular issue, I am convinced given the progress the Russian winter offensive achieved and their ability to do things on a grand scale leaving large salients to the north and south of Moscow would have been disastrous for AGC.

| Tribunus Laticlavius | Any Army that loses that number of men like the Germans did in Russia will soon run out out of manpwer. This was shown up when germany started to call up boys as young as 11 years old to fight for their country.

| Tirones | when Italy and Russia and America came aboard on the Allies side, there was no hope of Germany winning the war. It pays to keep you're friends on you're side during the war. May be someone should of told Hitler that! |

| Primus Pilus | Perhaps Italy was more of a hindrance for Germany before they switched sides!

| Tribunus Laticlavius | Hehe I am convinced Hitler should have paid Italy to stay neutral or invaded it in 1940, at least they might have got a decent size fleet out of it. |

| Tribunus Laticlavius | In late 1940 Monty no one thought that Germany would lose the war, least of of all the Germans |
