Most people do not relise that in World War 2 The "Japs" landed and took 2 of the alasken islands.Pretty scary when you think about,they could have para dropped onto the Homeland from that distance. Then contruct an airbase on our homeland.BOOM the wars over we lose.Thank goodnes Alaska is so cold that you couldn't fly planes for long distances without the rudders freezing over. Opinions about the untold war of WW2,Oh and when I say "WE" I mean the US.

That's just one episode, but in war you have to consider luck (think about important battles like Megiddo, Salamina, Waterloo, etc). For exemple when the Allies tried an attack in Begium which should've destroyed a big part of the Axis first line; too bad the attack wasn't successful, that's why it took such a long time to arrive to Berlin (and maybe that's why the Russians arrived before the Americans).


Right, like at Midway in the pacific theater. The "Japs" had more battleships then us but we held Midway and began the push tword Iwo Jima. Now that took skills and luck. I own a war documentory on Midway, it told each of the leaders for both sides of the battle,with awesome detail.

The funny thing is that everyone blames Nazis even that Japs started the war towards USA and Nazis joined in because Japan was alliance with German in that time :lol:

The very Untold thing is that German army didn't make it out in Finnish line. Their Armour units just couldn't handle the Finland's hard and very forest kind of landscape :lol: They got stuck on roads only.

Winter war...hmm I've heard a lot of things from books how others reacted on Winter War 1939 winter.
Cool thing was that USA thought that Finnish troops had even some goodies in their bunkers and trenches. Nah there was nothing not even enough of supplies lål. Finnish UnTold Russia vs. Finland. Match easy to guess who won but yet with heavy price...
--

Heard a bit of USA vs. "Japs" yet Japan airplanes weren't miracle things. They were just bamboo and cloth that's all :lol: some iron yes but mainly bamboo and cloth. They were light ones and destroyed very well but they were too weak and they were easy to shoot down but giving shot on one was harder :P

I'm not an expert, but I think it takes a little more than constructing an air-base to conquer a country the size of america. we constructed several air bases on islands near japan, and it didn't stop them until we dropped two nukes on them, and japan did not get the bomb during WWII.

I've heard that Nazi German found out how to build out Atomic bomb. Mean fact after all how the atomic bomb works it is very simple but thought hard to build.

Also heard that German tried to take those papers to Japan but were unable and stopped during the trip

Well sure it can't with that attitude.Just Kidding. Sure I over exadurated but still untill we destoyed the airbase they could do some serous damage to our citys. Sure it wouldn't bring about the end of the war. But morale for the Japs would soar like an eagle. Ours would soar like a penguin. Penguins can't fly.

Well I don't like war anyway but, like Togo said, it's all about luck and making the right move at the right time.

It's true. Alaska was the only place where enemy soldiers set foot on U.S soil. The force that took it was a small group of a much larger invasion force that was headed for Midway Island. The commander of the US fleet decided that the smaller Japanese detachment was small enough for the US forces on the Aleutian islands to handle. It was true that they did hold of and fight back the Japanese eventually. The only country in WWII that no enemy soldier set foot on (that wasn't a prisoner) was the U.K. Germany tried to cross the English Channel after the blitz, but they failed.

Yeah I heard rumors about it, but using the word " Jap " is racist. Because I learned about this in my World History class. It is actually an rude word to say and can offend anyone who's japanese.

For some people any word which includes a difference between men is racist... Oh well.


Well you can take word "Ryssä" That means Russian in Finnish. It ain't rasict word if someone says against it. Word "Ryssä" comes from Swedish "Ryssen" so it comes out as Finnish mix :D

As for word Spaghetti means Italiano guys :lol:
As for word Tea drinkers, limets means UK
As for Kraut that means German. It comes from Word Sauerkraut that is local food in German
"Japs" doesn't sound like Rasict for me. Short for Japanish I believe.

There's a lot of dirty words in Finnish to be used for other lands :lol:
