| Optio | An easy question for you all: What happened from the air on 9 September 1943? And what model of plane was involved? |

| Centurion | The Italian battleship Roma was sunk by two Ruhrstahl SD 1400 X, a.k.a. Fritz X radio controlled glide bombs. (Some sources call them missiles. In any case, it was the first time that a capital ship was sunk using anti-ship weapons.) They were dropped from a Dornier Do 217 bomber. Dean. Last edited by Dean; May 15th, 2006 at 22:33. |

| Centurion | Why, thank-you Reiben. I have 2 questions, one of which is to everyone still involved in this thread, and the other one which is to be answered. First off, I realize that myself, Tomtom, Reiben and Zander are still reading and trying to answer questions. I would like to know how many lurkers who are following this thread are still out there, so if you are reading, but not posting, just leave a post with your name on it. It is idle curiosity on my part, but it would be interesting. Without further ado, the question: The Phoney War is drawing to an end. In France, soldiers are on continuous alert in the Maginot Line, preparing for the inevitable German attack. The Germans know that they cannot attack the Maginot line and win, so they use a new tactic and a new top secret weapon to gain the advantage and break the Maginot Line. What was the secret weapon, and where and when was it used? Dean. Last edited by Dean; May 16th, 2006 at 01:59. |
