  1. I met Gale Halvorson and he was such a nice and friendly man. He signed his book that I had purchased and he gave my son a paper napkin parachute with a Hersheys chocolate bar attached.

  2. The Btitish royals were guilty of enslaving blacks & stealing artwork from these cultures & keeping all of it to this day.
    I'm not saying the Nazis didn't steal the Jew's wealth & art but that weren't the first or only culture to do so.πŸ€”πŸ™„

  3. The Berlin airlift story was not from WWII. The Berlin Airlift didn't start until 1948.

    For political reasons, when they split Germany into East and West Germany, the Russians owned the Western half of Berlin and the other Allied Powers controlled the Eastern half/ this meant that Russia could and did cut the Eastern half or Berlin off from West Germany, in an attempt to gain control of ALL of Berlin. The other major powers then dropped supplies into East Berlin until the blockade failed.

  4. The V2 wasn't very long range, 320km. By the time it was ready, targets in the USSR were beyond range … which why it was used against Belgium and England. Accuracy was 4.5km initially and 2km after improvement. It could ONLY be used as a terror weapon against cities … it could not effectively hit military targets.

    So when Tom Lehrer sang "Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down. That's not my department … says Wernher von Braun." he was quite right.
