You mean you assumed that a/c partially constructed in Canada or components thereof were automatically counted as British production, despite yourself mentioning a source that those were few in number. This was only a fraction of British production. Plus much of this still counts as imperial...

No actually you need to show some evidence to support your own assumption. As the link you supply showed only relatively small numbers of a/c were involved in the transit over the Atlantic so probably even less were involved in the previous year [1940]. Without that there is no reason to...

Well there's a hell of a lot of assumptions there including some very strange ones. Such as that production in one country would be counted as produced in another. I'm talking about production figures not usage. Also your wrong about Canada as I mentioned it early on for its industrial...

The 1st part is accurate. The 2nd more dubious because it seems that the commanding general lied to the government and we know the Germans would have retreated if the French had acted. However I was pointing out the contradictions in SG's stance. I suspect very little. Also I'm not sure...

Given that the LoN needed every member to agree for a proposal to be passed that is unrealistic. Plus Germany was always trying to get out of the ToV restrictions so with its greater population, resources and as you point out below refusal to accept the current boundaries France had a realistic...

Actually there was limited capacity and desire to use those forces in Europe in WWI - as well as demands for them elsewhere and this was an even greater issue in OTL WWII - because the fall of France and the wars in the Med and Far East meant most Indian forces were needed elsewhere and the...

No its not. I've got the book remember. Not if it become a long attritional conflict in the Low Countries. There's no guarantee but its bloody unlikely Italy will enter the conflict unless the Germans are clearly winning. They might do something like an attack on Yugoslavia or Greece...

Ah so your the person you denied being a while back, claiming you didn't know what the thread you was on before was. I missed the reference to a link but as I had the book that's irrelevant. I've read through most of threads but given their length its quite possible I missed that. Probably...

That could well be the case but without a clear definition of the term we don't know for sure. Similarly with the situation in 1939 although the industrial strength of the assorted powers there are much closer in their level of development there. The fact is they had the ability to do so...

A) - Your ignoring my point about the accuracy of the use of the term manufacturing. Unless your suggesting that India in 1860 is slightly superior industrially to France, the US and Russia and China is twice as powerful? B) - Both allied states outsourced some of their production because...

Sorry, well spotted. Yes HL. Obviously have finger problems. :oops:

That's not necessary as I have hard copies of both as I said before. I don't know why he said I have a digital copy of Kennedy's? The issue is interpretation of data. For instance as I've noted before in assorted places the definition of manufacturing seems odd in that according to some of...

Except those links often say different things to what you wish. I have both Tooze's book and Kennedy's but your misreading them as your mispresenting what I say. I point out again that without the sickle cut the Germans, running head on into the main allied strength are going to suffer heavily...

Your welcome to your delusions. I'll stick to the history.

If they don't go to war to defend Poland then their diplomatic influence is zero. Very important if your a democratic state seeking to influence neutrals. a) Wrong. Their stronger in military might, due to their massive over-expansion of their military and the doctrine edge that wasn't...

Yes and by 1939/40 it was a serious defensive position. In terms of fiscal resources I think relatively few. The military expansion had been so large and rapid it seems that for many German citizens they were worse off in ~1939 than in say 1935 - going largely by Tooze's Wages of...

Thanks for the concern. The 1st doctor I saw did say my chest seemed clear but arranged an X ray which I've seen had. Still got a bit of a cough and a snotty nose but the medicine I'm taking now, which is supposed to counter the issue of excess acid in the stomach seems to be working pretty...

Sorry been unwell for a few weeks, nothing serious but a persistent cough that meant I wasn't sleeping much and feeling totally knackered. So I took a break from most of my sites for a week or so. Different treatment seems to be sorting it out so trying to catch up. PS Have to disagree...

Apart from the fact that the allies don't have much choice on the issue you also need to remember that: a) Germany didn't have the same depth of forces it had in 1914 either. Or relative economic strength for that matter. b) France, against a non-sickle cut attack has a much better defensive...
