Excellent. Thanks for posting, I had the time to watch it all this morning and it is well worth 45 mins of anyones time if you have an interest in this area. Particularly interesting is the section on air support and it’s effectiveness- morale boosting rather than actual damage caused.

This lecture clears up two questions I had regarding WW2.

1. If allied tanks were so poor how did we make so many gains against German Armour?
2. How did air power cause so much damage to tanks using primitive unguided missiles?

This answers those questions. They weren’t and they didn’t.

Of course we are living in a Computer Simulation.
Just depends on your definition of computer and simulation.
Our brains are complex computers and simulate everything.
Thus we exist in a computer brain and experience the world around us via that brains simuation of the world via stimulus.

Now that’s weird.

If he had been badly hurt it would have been tough to get an ambulance to him quickly given the crowds.

They had an Air Ambulance so crowds not an issue.

I agree Snafu.
The attack that gets you, if it gets you we can do very little about.
For the rest of the time we just have to get on with our lives.
