I'm holding out for the British Army making a triumphant return, but if they're relegated to "support bitch" for the US faction then it's bs. WW2 was lost without the British Army, so at the very least they deserve a spot in this game as an entire faction; I would expect these foreign unit doctrines to be reserved for poor countries like Romania, Poland and etc- not the British Empire who won ww2.

We'll see how this unfolds though, if the British are being relegated to commander doctrine then I'm going to have to mail Relic a letter, or make the trip to their company headquarters in Vancouver.

It seems like it's over now. I accept Bloodnok's surrender so maybe now we can return to remembering a tank ace who was one of the best in WW2. I'm surprised to see that despite days passing, barely any major media outlet is reporting his death; even the Vietnamese General who defeated the Americans in the Vietnam War got extensive media coverage, both domestically and abroad.

You realise that this makes you a stand-out supremacist? ...or maybe you do not? (((sighs)))

Uhh, no it doesn't? What's your definition of "supremacist"? I simply stated that men and women from the British Isles can't fight because they've relied on foreigners to win all their wars, and you'll find that history and historical evidence is on my side. The Battle of Isandlwana is a prime example showing that men from the UK can't hold their own in a fight; they ended up being massively crushed by a bunch of peasant Africans.

Whenever Canadian, Australian, New Zealand or Indian troops were apart of the war, the British Army achieved resounding success, no doubt to my Canadian ancestors. Mind you, it was the Canadian Army and Canadian General Sir Isaac Brock who defeated the Americans in 1812, so having Canadian men and women fight for you increased the British Army's success ten-fold.

Anyways, Wittmann has proven that UK troops are no match for any competent enemy when he routed the British Army in Villers Bocage; I don't think even Carius has such an achievement under his belt.

Let me gently disabuse you of a few mistated facts: in the Northwest Europe campaign against the Axis from June 1944 onwards, the army on the Allied side included USA, Canadian, British, Free Poles, Free French (including colonial troops) and Free Belgians. AFAIK, the ground forces did not include Australians, Indians, New Zealanders. The allied airforce in NW Europe, OTOH, included Americans,Canadians, British, Australians,New Zealanders, Caribbeans, South Africans, Rhodesians, Free Poles, Czechs, Norwegians, Belgians etc

And? You simply proved that the UK needed foreign troops to win battles.

From Wiki ( to be read with caution):

Yeah, let's trust the Wiki where no doubt people changed certain parts because of politics or ideology.

It may have been off-topic,in which case you should not have have written it at all -but I think there does need to be a re-balance, now that you have advanced in Hilter-mode



Does Austrian blood course though your veins? Adolf Hitler is dead. (I assume from your familiar use of "Otto", that you were a personal friend of his?)

EDIT: I would not any of the above to take away from Middle East/Italian allied forces of which there many more, especially individuals like Anders Lassen VC, MC (+2 bars) (Denmark SBS)

It wasn't off-topic per say, but walked a thin line but I resent the fact that you call me a supremacist, even though I made no mention of troops from the UK being "genetically" inferior to Canadian troops. If I advancing in Hitler mode as you say, then I would be dismissing UK men and women because of their genetics, but quite clearly i'm not doing so.

No, i'm not Austrian( I'm French Canadian). Isn't Otto a part of his name or does the word "Otto" have another meaning i'm not aware of? I looked him up on Wiki and his name said "Otto Carius" so thus I use his fullname, if it's actually his full name.

Jesus.
Reforever, do me a favour, treat yourself to this:

And should you speak German, there is this fine piece of recent scholarship:

Should also be available in any decent university library...

I've read plenty of material regarding WW2 so you posting links to books I've already read are pointless. What do you disagree with in my posts? That the British Army got utterly destroyed by Wittmann? Evidence by German historians and WW2 German veterans conclude that Wittmann was a major factor in Germany's success in the Battle of Villars-Bocage, and that the British troops weren't skilled enough to form an effective defence against Wittmann's attacks.

If Wittmann had naval support or support from other armoured divisions like Carius did, I honestly think Wittmann could've defeated the entire British Army and pushed them back to their isles.


Getting back to Carius though, hopefully the Germans of today and the German Army recognise that Otto was simply a tank commander who fought for his country, and didn't care for the politics; his tactics and skills during WW2 should remind the German Army of their heritage and the immense power and skill they had.

Germany has fallen from grace if you will; their Prussian ancestors are most likely dissapointed at how Germany ended up. The Prussians were a very militaristic society and always had one of the best armies in the world; the current German Army pales in comparison to their WW2 and Prussian counterparts.

I am struggling to understand your post.

Whilst Wiki has to be treated with caution, it seems abundantly clear that Carius (and his gunner(s) ) were more proficient than Wittmann (and his gunner(s) ). And given that Carius operated against heavier Soviet Battle tanks, my confusion deepens.

Can you enlighten me?

I should've clarified, I meant that Wittmann was my personal favourite tank commander/ace from WW2. As for why I think Wittmann was better than Carious is because Wittmann was unorthodox with his strategies and seized opportunities that most other tank commanders wouldn't have taken. The Battle of Villers-Bocage is a fine example of Wittmann single handedly defeating the British Army and forcing them to retreat; he successfully engaged British tanks and AT guns in large numbers; the British didn't know what to do and had to retreat from Wittmann and his crew.


Otto on the other hand did everything by the books relatively speaking; he didn't take huge gambles and risks like Wittmann did, and it's why I don't consider him better than Wittmann; Wittmann's actions resulted in either victory or decisive defeat.

I also like him because he was in the Waffen SS, and as far as i'm aware he wasn't charged with war crimes, so it adds to the pile of evidence that most Waffen SS troops were simply fighting for their country, and not out of political ideals.
