what are you talking about man? lol

What should "Walh" mean?The first time the germanic tribes had come in contact with "Italy" was with Rome as far as I know.

Podstawą tego określenia była nazwa szczepu celtyckiego "Volcae". Na gruncie słowiańskim zadomowiła się forma zatem "Wołch", oznaczająca dla Słowian wszelkich Romanów, a w języku polskim doszło do zwężenia zakresu stosowania tego wyrazu jedynie do mieszkańców półwyspu Apenińskiego.

he was convinced that Russia shouldn't have ever helped any of other Slavic countries

According to census of 1989 the USSR had about 3 mln of Germans

Surprisingly all other Slavic languages seem to use the same naming convention.

Dostoevsky

The Volga Germans (those who resettled to Russia at the times of Ekaterina) have deserved reputation of kind, honest and neat people.

Many died defending their new homeland

When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, Stalin was worried that the Volga Germans might collaborate with them. On August 28, 1941, he dissolved the Volga-German ASSR and ordered the immediate relocation of ethnic Germans, both from the Volga and from a number of other traditional areas of settlement. These were stripped of their land and houses, and moved eastwards to Kazakhstan in Soviet Central Asia, Altai Krai in Siberia, and other remote areas.

Most of Russian/Ukrainian/Bielarusian surnames finishing with "-wskij" were polonized with "-wski" ending.

Celebrating the 90th anniversary of formal relations this year, Poland and Japan have highlighted a long and very deep history that dates back since the end of World War I, and have mapped out strategies to expand ties beyond diplomacy.

he overall strategy was...what exactly???

Our army did the best and even overperformed often enough

not had as she was overstretched, undermanned and without free, unlimited access to important, vital resources!

You can only kill so many people till they overwhelm you...

we just had the better soldiers and the better tactics..

we were the better army even faced with better equipment or a numerous superior enemy we won!

I have absolutely nothing against bilingual signs. The more languagesthe merrier!

I told ya...we should just merge and join forces!!!:)

COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is one of the longest-running European instruments supporting co-operation among scientists and researchers across Europe.
The ESF is the legal entity which provides and manages the scientific, administrative and technical secretariat for COST.

Today, 60 years later, it's called "stealth" bomber! :)

And why the hell should Kalashnikov admit now that he got "help"...nobody had forced him to. He would have surely said now if he was influenced by the US or someone else too.

Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky (Russian: Константи́н Эдуа́рдович Циолко́вский; Polish: Konstanty Ciołkowski) (September 17 [O.S. September 5] 1857-September 19, 1935) was an Imperial Russian and Soviet rocket scientist and pioneer of the astronautic theory.He is considered by many to be the father of theoretical astronautics. His works later inspired leading Soviet rocket engineers such as Sergey Korolyov and Valentin Glushko and contributed to the early success of the Soviet space program.

His father was a Polish patriot deported to Russia as a result of his revolutionary political activities

Mine too! :)

But due to the heavy weight and ...

The Panther first saw action at Kursk on 5 July 1943. Early tanks were plagued with mechanical problems: the track and suspension often broke, and the engine was dangerously prone to overheating and bursting into flames. At Kursk, more Panthers were disabled by their own failings than by enemy action.

That is a cool thingy....will come in handy later I have the feeling....once the Chinese want to roam our airspace!

Was the T34 as good as the King Tiger?

Designed 1943

Designed 1937-40

Half a century of achievements of Polish radiolocation industry and talents of the designers from Warsaw's "Przemysłowy Instytut Telekomunikacji" (PIT) (Industrial Telecommunication Institute) decided that NATO has chosen PIT's radars N12 M for tracking the eastern borders of the Alliance. Mounted on towers - three long distance radars have been integrated with the entire NATO system of its airspace control. The experts say that a true hit is a sophisticated data processing. Our programmers have shown their class here. The radars let the NATO commanders see exactly what happens in the airspace, several hundreds kilometers away from the radiolocation posts.

Did you know that the famous AK-47 was german designed (Schmeisser):

Stealth technology also known as LO technology (low observable technology) is a sub-discipline of military electronic countermeasures which covers a range of techniques used with aircraft, ships, submarines, and missiles, in order to make them less visible (ideally invisible) to radar, infrared, sonar and other detection methods.

he was German but because Germans were the first to take professional military training seriously

"obedient" as in following their orders....well loyalty and discipline were maintained high till the last days, that's right!

he PPSh-41 (Pistolet-Pulemyot Shpagina; Russian: Пистолет-пулемёт Шпагина; Shpagin Machine Pistol; nicknamed Pah-Pah-sha, Shpagin and Burp Gun) submachine gun was one of the most mass produced weapons of its type of World War II. It was designed by Georgi Shpagin as an inexpensive alternative to the PPD-4

The captured PPSh was in particular a favorite weapon of the Germans.Because of the similarities between the 7.62x25mm Tokarev and the 7.63x25mm Mauser cartridge used in the Mauser C96 pistol, the PPsh was easily supplied with ammunition. In fact so many were captured that it became the second-most-common submachinegun used by German forces.
