I've seen the translations of the originals. 8^) Interesting reports. Naturally I had a great aunt that did the translations from the polish that was a translation of the german. The man who really broke the germans was an old family friend...not that I could ever have met him he did a couple years before I arrived. le' merde vayacondiscoputa!

Oh and stalin? I'm told that wasn't a stroke he had...use a velvet rope around the neck and it leaves no mark whilst inducing ruptured cranial arteries or heart attack. She used to work for trotsky as a child and had a relationship of some sort with Marshall Zhukov. Died a year after he did at a dacha in uzbeckisatn.

The irony is that Mr. Bulls "Super Gun" concept could work as a deployment system for small LEO short lived sattilites and possibly larger ones that would finish their boost to higher orbit with an on board solid booster (simpler to engineer than a liquid fuel system that could handle the launch) 1 1 The basic design was originally developed by Nazi germany and construction had been started in france...until the allies bombed it into scrap that is. Facinating desing if you like artillery and playing with long tubes with large bores and big balls. 8^)

Though none of the great devlopments in artillery would have happened without the french perfecting the hydroneumatic recoil mechanism of the classic light field piece the "French 75". Now it might be small, but WOW the rate of fire and accuracy thanks to that recoil mechanism makes it hard to not like. 8^) "I love the smell of freshly opened powder in the morning"
