favorite moments of MAJOR turn-arounds.

[Achilles]

my favorite moment in history would have to be the the Operation Market Garden, even though the allies lost it was a well planned and would be coordinated assault, if the brits hadnt stopped for tea. If you will remember, the british tank commanders had held up the advance, as the supplies and a large contingent of tanks were their responsibility, and they were so stubborn that the tanks arrived days after over 8000 men had been slaughtered in Arnem, the final objective of the entire campaign

You might want to explain yourself a little more there, about face.

 

[levnbush]

What? That's your favorite moment in history?

What is this topic about "MAJOR" moments in history or "MEAGER" moments in history? The topic title says, "MAGER"; attention to details there.

 

[Achilles]

[Marksman]

I dont understand why is the MARKET GARDEN your favorite one,is that ironic or something :lol:

 

[Achilles]

because of all that went into it and the sacrifice and the valor.

 

[Marksman]

well,i'l be damn if 8,000 men need to die for NOTHING,i'm a granmma on the jojo stick

 

[Achilles]

and besides in the ultimate end, Market Garden WAS a success.

 

[Marksman]

[Achilles]

although late the Arnem bridge was taken and some of the soldiars did escpape AND, we won WWII

 

[Marksman]

Yes we all did but the operation was failure,more men died than it should

 

[IrishWizard]

My favorite turning point in to history when dealing with a war, would have to be Operation Overlord. Just the numbers of men involved in it and the storys that are told. Just amazing how it changed the war that one night and day.

 

[Marksman]

Well my irish friend it was a biggest land invasion in history
HAIL IN THEIR GLORY :cheers:

 

[silent driller]

Yessiree! We do have one ass kickin' Army! I can only imagine what Overlord would have been like...geez.

the closest thing i can think it might have been like..is all 20,000 cars on the los angeles free way headed for the one open gas station in pasadena at 6:00 AM..at the same time. And the owners of the pumps dont want to sell the gas.

with all of them armed of course....
