You chose dishonor and you will have war."

Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Bloody hell, it's like having Aces High at your fingertips wherever you have net access! I'm surprised it doesn't have a higher visitor count.

Von Poop loves it because it has a list of tank kills.

Just have a look at the section showing the most kills in a single mission, day or night.
Virtually all USSR. Staggering figures. How the hell could they sustain such losses?

Wonderful site. Very informative.
Someone put this together sometime with a hell of a lot of work.
