Sorry, but that sounds like the old "We were just following orders" revisionist schtick to me, and lazy scholarship on the part of the author.

I suggest you check out the book before you condemn the author as lazy. Corum's work covers the Luftwaffe's genesis and development from 1918 - 1940, and includes an overview and history of the WWI Ger airforce. He draws heavily on German language archival sources, and his overall bibliography is 23 pages long.

I agree with Logboy that it is a very interesting read.

Here's some new toys of mine:

2 turrets with (maybe) a useful arc of fire between them? Yep, that looks Dutch.

The ship can do an 8-gun broadside. If I'd made them LS and RS, then there'd be trouble.

Both ships are designs submitted to the Dutch by Krupp before WWI.

Means it can fire both left and right, but not front and rear.

Thread, Scott! I just saw on TV that some Denver suburbs could get close to 4 feet of snow from this storm!

Anywhere from 18 to 36 inches in the foothills with 8 to 14 in Denver.

Calling this storm like the one from 12 years ago.

We are good for at least one good snow fall each year.
