  4. The German shortage of oil is made worst for similar reasons, they had now to supply all the countries they captured with the already short fuel.

  10. I may be wrong but read that when the Vikings took prisoners of the people they captured in what is now the Baltic States/Poland/ Ukraine they called them Slavs. When they were sold as Slavs in to ownership of others, but this changed over time nto the meaning of slave?

  11. Maybe you need to study your history, it was the Germans who studied the British tank exercises in the early thirties and saw the future, the use of tanks. The British had many who learned, but were held back by traditional thinking who were older and more senior. A great exponent of the war of movement was General O Connor, the best of the Desert Generals who turned a 4 day battle (Operation Compass) into a three month 1500 mile defeat of an enemy five times his strength. Montgomery was a cautious General who did all he could to save his troops lives. At El Alamein he completed a massive battle of WW1 scale against a fixed German defense and was still making an average of 40 miles a day advance. The advance from the Torch landings was much slower but never commented on. In the Defensive of France Montgomery was the General who over night moved his division through other divisions to to fill the gap caused by the surrender of the Belgians. Montgomery was a man who planed and practiced. He was the man responsible for the Invasion of Sicily and Overlord. He also planned many invasions that did not happen due to political reasons, the invasions of Azores, and Cape Verde Islands being two.
