Hah, you finally encountered alternatehistory.com. Its a very good website, and I used to be a member for more than a year. Then I got banned by the SJW moderator, Ian. My only crime was showing support for Stefan Molyneux.
ReplyDeleteThey have alot of really good threads about WW2 that I highly recommend you check out. Their stuff on the eastern front is very interesting. This one (about case blue) is of particular interest.
