Good site and excellent joke (but I didn't understand what Sponge Bob was doing there:hmm:).

[soma]

The Uboat on that first photo really looks dirty! Anyone know of skin with weathering that bad? Pretty please\!

[danlisa]

@ Soma

Fubar has done that exact skin. See this thread. Late War IXC

Great photos. I've had that site bookmarked for quite a while now. It sure gives a whole new perspective when the photos are in color.

[CybaGirl]

Thanks for sharing and they are fantasic :)..

Its also nice to see some color photos too. I wish there was more color video footage of WWII around though..

[The Munster]

Great pictures.. the U-Boat with the nice skyline would make a great Intro screen [that's a hint to those Modders out there as I don't know how to do it !] :-?

[Sailor Steve]

I'm amazed at how many of those pictures I've seen before, but since they were from black & white books I never knew the originals were in color.

I didn't realize how big the XXIs were. The conning tower has a very modern look to it, too.

[Quagmire]

WOW!

That picture of the XXI looks like it was taken in the '60s! Man that boat was ahead of its time!!!!

[d@rk51d3]

I didn't realize how big the XXIs were. The conning tower has a very modern look to it, too.

The type XX1 so advanced in fact (especially with its modular design and construction), that it was used as a template for many post-war subs.

..... come to think of it, some housing in the UK is done the same way now too. Pre-fabricated rooms, that get stuck together on site, to build the house.

[LoneTraveller]

It is my belief that Germany had the most advanced military and that practically all other countries toke their ideas from there on. May it be in submarines warfare, aircraft technology, tanks (mobile warfare), infantry weapons and equipment, etc. Except for the A-Bomb.

Disagree ? tell me why.

[Burzum]

Well, on one-to-one, I believe they, then, could have pulverized everybody.

...If it weren't for some Norwegan commandos who went behind enemy lines and destroyed the German's A-bomb facility :yep:.

Yes, the grease enabled the torpedo to glide more effectively through the water.

Tell me if my pics are good are bad because I like feed back so I know if I can safely make more or I should close paint for the rest of my time here.

It is my belief that Germany had the most advanced military and that practically all other countries toke their ideas from there on. May it be in submarines warfare, aircraft technology, tanks (mobile warfare), infantry weapons and equipment, etc. Except for the A-Bomb.

Disagree ? tell me why.

Explain to me why the Tiger tank only got 3 gallons to the mile, and why Germany's heavy bomber was used as a anti-ship weapon and not bombing cities?

Besides, we went toe to toe with them and they lost the Atlantic, in turn they lost the war. Put simply, we out produced them faster than they could sink em.


Hey Shegeek...the girl on your sig looks like the lead singer to the Horrorpops.

The weapons themselves were great but its the leaders fault for not useing them for what they were intended to do.

Example: Tiger tank in Open field = Good
Tiger tank in Urban area = Bad
U-boat in deep water = Good (most of the time)
U-boat in shallow water = Bad (Most of the time)

Hey, count me in...I'll bring my Big Red Gretsch Tennessee Special.

I wonder if we could get whats left of the Beatles to change the lyrics to "Yellow submarine" to "Grey U-boat":rotfl:

Well I think Ringo wrote that song and he's hanging around with a blue steam train, so why not?

[Sailor Steve]

Ringo sang 'Yellow Submarine, but either John or Paul wrote it. It's hard to tell since they credited all their songs with "Lennon and McCartney", and usually you can tell which just from who sings it.

Example: Tiger tank in Open field = Good

U-boat in deep water = Good (most of the time)
U-boat in shallow water = Bad (Most of the time) One thing the Germans really stank at was a concentrated and accurate artillery system. They had the frightening Moaning Minnies (Nebelwerfers) but they lacked a truly excllent system of organizing their artillery to deliver the powerful barrages which were a big part in why the Brits and Canadians were capable of holding the Germans off during the stalemate around Caen. They had the armour but we had such good artillery that when some prisoners were captured and brought back near an artillery regiment they asked to see the full-automatic supergun we were using. They refused to believe that we just had excellently trained crews and a very efficient means of bringing down concentrated artillery barrages from any all and all regiments at will.

So there's another one for the good guys.:up:
