  1. 27:45 first you question Luftwaffe groundtroops to fight well (based on results in the past)..only to follow it up with INCREDIBLE COUNTERattack of the Latvian XX 19th div that actually MANAGE to push back RUSSIAN troops ??? Latvians ?? Since WHEN (based on results in the past !!) are THEY supposed to have been CRACK troops ? ergo...wonders hadnt left the world...

  2. ps..I assume there is a difference if a luftwaffe ground unit is fighting american paratroopers in Normandy (becoming POW is ticket out of this stinking mess) or bloodthirsty soviets in Courland (becoming POW is ticket to hell...). Take an educated guess...

  3. ..in addition the economy of germany in 1939 is NOT the same as the economy (all things manufactured, goods and assets) of germany AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND the occupied countries and peoples of 1944... e.g. german DM in 1999 were perhaps 100 billion on paper representing the economy of GERMANY in 1999. this converts into 50 billion euros on paper.. But in 2020 there are , all over (occupied ?) europe, 600 billion euros representing the economy of WHOLE europe. Does this mean the euro has DEVALUED by 85% ????
