  5. +1 for the +1 livestream. Can your confirm that late WWII, the VT fuse equipped 3" became more effective than the quad 40mm Bofors?

  10. 0:37:47 The first part, that of British shipbuildig to compensate for the "ideal" (yeah, depending on perpective) German kills - exactly how the british shipyards depended on imported materials needed for merchant ships? Would a successfull U-boat campaing hinder that ability? Another one on fully functioning German torpedoes: it is not just the Ark Royal. If memory serves, the HMS Barnham (while "eating a fish") lucked out another hit by malfunction, same for HMS Warspite in the Norvegian campaign, Also during Günther Prien's raid on Scapa Flow the HS Royal Oak was blown up by the SECOND salvo (since most of the first malfunctioned), so maybe Prien would pick another target before leaving.

  12. It's "dry salt". As in a saltmine, which was the a most severe kind of punishment. NOT as in a salt cave, which is used as a therapy for those of asthma and allergies...
