Please review the words spoken by Churchhill Oct. 5, 38

You may well be right about Churchill. He was still is disgrace from WW1 though. With much blood on his hands from many bungles of the first order. The last guy to be listened to.

Here is a good site.

Czechoslovakia was being sold down the river to the Nazies. They could have put up a good fight too.

It wasn't just Chamberlain though. Nobody wanted a war with Germany because people instinctively knew it would be a blood bath. Here is the whole site..

Doenitz had already his plan in place to defeat the successful convoy system of WW1 with his surface "wolf pack" concept. Attack at night on the surface in numbers and rapid escape to defeat ASDIC.

It took radar and code breakers to nail them. Followed up later with acoustic torpedoes developed by the USA.

Yes, well still are in time (and in position) to whack Saddam though. He knows it I think.
