Germany not having carries was complicated, it really would not have been a wonder weapon for them; carries are more then ships, they are a system that includes planes, doctrine, defensive ships all Germany had not yet started. Even if they had a functional trio of carriers what could they have done with them? Carries don’t help you with Russia, it’s not going to give you much advantage in bombing UK that you don’t have already. Maybe you could gain naval superiority in Mediterranean OR you commit to battle of the Atlantic shipping which I think Germany would still lose.

The P51 really helped shorten the war in Europe. Also, it had noteworthy service in the Korean War. By then designated the F51 from the US Army Air Forces having their own department as the US Air Force, the mustang arguably saved the UN forces from defeat. When North Korea decided to invade South Korea, the forces in South Korea had no effective artillery or anti tank artillery which is why they were pushed back to Busan. And the F51 was the only ready asset that could relieve them and keep them from being pushed off the peninsula due its long range flying from Japan, being able loiter, and deliver munitions on target fairly well.

1972 was the year of Operation Linebacker. It was a well planned and well executed series of strikes that successfully disabled North Vietnamese aggression. The Navy and Air Force mined North Vietnamese Harbors, struck choke points and eliminated oil preserves. It was surgical and highly effective. We didn’t just bomb North Vietnam. This was mostly carried out by A7 Corsair II navy strike aircraft. It was the most accurate for air to ground, even more accurate than the A6 Intruder, Also more survivable. They were protected by Top Gun Trained Navy F4 Phantom II fighter squadrons. They protected these strike groups from MiGs so well with a 12:1 kill to loss ratio that by mid June they were challenged less by the VPAF. And hardly experienced AAA or SAM launches because the mining of the harbors alone eliminated 85% of the supplies from reaching the communists from China and the USSR. Linebacker was so much more successful than Rolling Thunder that had it been carried out 8 years prior there’d still be a Republic of Vietnam. The peace accords proved the US won, technically. The communists tested Ford in 1974 and by April of 1975 he pleaded with Congress to allow the resupply of SouthVietnam by they denied him. I don’t know if it would’ve been the right decision to approve President Ford but, there probably would still be a South Vietnam if he was approved.

By 1974 everyone was so done with the war. I don’t blame Congress for blocking Ford. Great point about Operation Linebacker. If only it had been the original strategy.

The more I think about it, our diplomats did the best they could and had JFK lived until the end of his term, it's probable our involvement would not have been so costly. Our 🇺🇸 Vietnam veterans don’t get enough recognition for their service. And if we examine Operation Frequent Wind, it’s a rather impressive rescue operation and best to my knowledge, unprecedented. About 55,000 civilians were flown from Saigon onto US warships in one day. That many people were able to be evacuated because North Vietnam respected the US military. No VPAF assets posed a threat to any vehicle and this was the first time the F14 Tomcat was in theater flying air patrol by crews of VF-1 the Wolfpack and VF-2 the Bounty hunters operating from the USS Enterprise CVN-65.

I feel like there were about 100, not just Elvis and Kennedy but everyone including peace protesters, integration pioneers, tee shirt entrepreneurs, black panthers, talk show hosts were all actual known historical people.

The why is very important. The US wanted to crush Japan, because Japan denied it, to become an US trading colony. And the Japanese expanded on non-Allied-occupied territory in Asia. To raid Germany was a necessity to get the German patents in military, chemical industries & agriculture, the only way to become a superpower. The majour political mistake was done by the Brits. 2 times Britain declared world war over Europe & crushed it, including Britain & the entire British empire, instead to crush with European support the US for once & for all, in the following the Sovietunion. This would have been the way to remain the leading continent. Forget Your Na.zi- & Mussolini - blabla... this is of no relevance. The Brits occupied the biggest fascist empire the planet had ever seen & killed 140 Mio. Indians in 40 years via a holo.domor between 1880 & 1920. Any complains about that? Of course, no complains against the (German) Empress of India.. Maybe to become a hairdresser with a KZbin-channel might be the better option for You.

@@AmericanHistoryGazette Every good US historian knows the facts I recommended. You can read all those facts, mainly in Allied history-books, for example Paul Kennedy. The German literature is very limited to legal obligations commanded by our master nation, the US. This kind of falsified historical narratives took in Germany a life of its own, the German guiltiness-cult. The difference from Your reality & an US veteran, most of them war-criminals (when they were overseas in action) to my reality is the propaganda-mashine. Not so many US Americans feel guilty firing all over the planet like in the cowboy wars. My English is too bad for a podcast. And in Germany I must fear prosecution, because free speech exists here only on paper. But many facts You find between the lines in the unbeloved wiki. When the Japanese raided Pearl Harbour (12/1941), You find the reason for it in the illegal US occupation & colonisation of the Hawaiian islands in 01/1893. So the Hawaiian Islands became a threat to Asia. The National Lawyers Guild in the US condemns the occupation. Another example are/were the Philippines. When the US "liberated" the Philippines from the Spaniards in 1898, Spanish-American war, they occupied & colonised it in the Philippine-US war, starting more or less in 1899-1902. In the breakdown of infrastructure of the Philippines in the following of the war, more than 1 Mio. Philippinos died, a quasi holodomor. Nearly the same procedure as later on in the Vietnam war. You could tell me the difference to the World Wars against the dwarf-Reich of Germany? I tell You one. The wars against Germany were the most profitable wars for the US & the Sovietunion.

Operation Bagration was Stalin keeping his word to launch a major offensive to coincide with the western allies landing in France. Eisenhower knew that the Nazis needed to be tied down on multiple fronts so they couldn't unleash a massive counterattack against Normandy. Stalin fulfilling his promise made sure the Germans were caught wrong footed on multiple fronts. Bagration along with Dragoon landing in Southern France meant that suddenly the Germans had Overlord in northern France, Dragoon in southern France and Bagration slicing thru central Europe out of the blue! The Germans had expected the allies to land elsewhere in northern France, were surprised by the allies landing anywhere in southern France and expected the Soviets to attack towards Hungary. Three devastating and surprise attacks where they least expected them to occur. A total failure of German military intelligence services! Three attacks involving millions of men, thousands of ships and tens of thousands of sailors? Doesn't it beggar belief that the vaunted Gestapo and all other German intelligence services failed completely when it mattered the most? I find it both strange and curious that this should occur? I know not to assign malevolence when stupidity will suffice but the coincidence is too great to ignore? I don't want to invoke a higher power but must consider the possibility of regime hating and defying individuals muddying the waters to obscure the intelligence picture? How many of the "Vons" despised the Austrian corporal enough to let him sabotage himself, to feed his omnipotent ego, stoke his inferiority complex, allow sound military judgement to fall by the wayside?

Excellent discussion, and I very much enjoyed Emerson's book on Robert Lincoln, but comparing Donald Trump to Abraham Lincoln in any way couldn't be more off base, and frankly, is an insult to everything Lincoln stood for. Lincoln was incredibly honest and dealt with every situation with civility. Don't really need to go beyond that.

The battle of Trenton was the turning point because it proved the continental forces can fight, win, and achieve independence for the thirteen colonies. It is like the naval battle between the USS Constitution and the HMS Guerriere during the war of 1812. The British approached the battle with a snobbish overconfidence thinking the new US Navy is a joke…until British cannon balls just bounced off the side of “Old Ironsides”. The US Navy proved to be formidable like the forces during the Revolution.

He walked aver, asked what was happening. The 2nd Lt. tells the general that this private failed to salute me so I'm having him salute me 100 times. Krulak says oh, well thats all well and good.
