Vladislav Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Paul, thank you for sharing dora gun pictures and too interesting facts.I'm impressed too, 2800 sunked ships...Russians lost terrible number of people during the war, 20.000.000.But our land history told neither about other battles including D-day, Perl Harbour, Italian campaign and battle for Atlantic.These facts came on a surfase lately, after the Soviet Union times. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul roncetti Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Hello Vlad, For years I have made the point in conversations that Russia lost 20 to 22 million,, all other figures for other minorities and groups of people I will say i wasn't aware of, just to piss off people that are so stupid or ill informed also, when I mentioned the original start of Barbarossa as April 1st, I actually don't think it was even possible till around middle to late May due to the spring rains, nevermind the conditions of the Pripyat marshes.......Paul Quote RONCETTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shure the June 22 was the choice as the longest day time.About the number of lost people there was a figure of 20 at Soviet times. When Perestroika starts it gets to multiply, I'm shure heard 27. On my mind nobody knows how many were in real. I saw myself the "Brother grave" as it called in Russian of 10.000 soliders. With no names, just a stone with dates. It was near a little village in a region of Rzev. The front line was there for 2 years of bloodfull fights without moving. If you remember, I told, Germans retreated from Moscow for some distance. They found a good enviroment and prepeared fortification. The city of Rzev was on that line. There were 200.000 of total lost just near the village I noted above. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul roncetti Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hello Vlad, check this out, you will find more stories on it, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/world-war-two/9434204/Sunken-World-War-II-submarine-found-off-Nantucket.html its the latest one found. Also, from what I unserstood, Russia, itself was said to have lost 1 in 3 people during the war which would put it into higher numbers and why Stalin didn't want help from the Marshall Plan as it would have revealed Russia's weakened condition in terms of loss of life, whetherr true or not, I don't know.

Popular Post paul roncetti Posted December 4, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hi Vlad, You are so right, I am so glad I have lived long enough to have met and know Russian people and that after the war we were both brought up to fear each other and all we both really wanted to do is live in peace. But the politicians got in the way. Attached is a Lockheed Early Warning Radar Constelation. 125 were based at Otis Field here on Cape Cod, two would fly out 200 miles, then one would go to the North Pole and back, the other to Cuba and back, This went on 24/7 through out the 1950's into the 60's A lot were lost at sea. Same thing was done on the West Coast. Paul 3 Quote RONCETTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogboy Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 1. A USAF EC-121 Super Constellation. I flew on a Rhode Island Air National Guard C-121 Super Constellation (the passenger version) to Ramey Air Force Base in Puerto Rico. 2. That railcar based gun is awesome. Never saw one that big before. 3. Never heard about that German sub found off of Nantucket. Must have been out of town that day. bulldogboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul roncetti Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hi bulldogboy, Yes that gun is a well engineered piece of equipment. Those constellations were based down here at Otis Field. Remember as a kid see them flying so low over town, 3 engines out, oil pouring out of the others, belly covered, sirens out at the base blaring, town fire whistle blowing, and they just about making it back. During that era, main street Falmouth, was patrolled by Army MP's along with police dept. Yes sub discovery made public this summer. About 10 years ago another off Chatham was discovered sitting upright on the ocean bottom, swastika still visible on deck. Also Gustav being assembled......Paul 2 Quote RONCETTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer52 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Paul, vlad, this has been a very interesting thread keep talking! Learning stuff I never knew.I agree, we usually only hear one side. It is interesting to hear the "other" side of the story. As was mentioned earlier, we all just want to live in peace. Too bad more people (especially in the Mid-East) don't think the same way. I am amazed at the BIG GUN pics. Wonder how long it took to manufacture the parts and assemble those big guns? Did they test them before going into battle? 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyRebel Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 at least they're wearing sensible shoes.I didn't even know they were wearing shoes....had to scroll back up to see what you were talking about. It was worth it, though, as I got to look at that pic again. Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!
