War in Poland 1939
FV 623
Sir: hindsight, hindsight, hindsight. If If If I am always amazed at the exceptional knowledge that many of you chaps on MLU have regarding history and equipment of the WW2. But, May I say, tongue in cheek; the one common denominator for many great screw-ups is man. Example, Hitler’s failure to push on to Dunkirk in May of 1940. Churchill's fiasco with the use of Australian troops in his conflict with the Turk’s in WW1. Japan's misguided attack on Pearl Harbor. By whom I am not sure but it had to be a supreme command order. Stalin's massacre of the Ukrainian officer corp. All these unfortunate errors in judgment and God know there are many more that I could site. You must surely accept that there is some divine or unexplainable dimension that occurs all through history. I would be interested in anyone who could convince me, that war is not a precise behavior of evolution.
