      <content:encoded><![CDATA[An idea for a thread has been simmering away in the back of my mind…..<br />
<br />
I’d like to start a discussion here about the food and rationing of food during the Second World War.<br />
<br />
Napoleon’s old adage, &quot;An army marches on its stomach” still rings true today, and food was a factor in the success and failure of armies during WW II. Moreover, the Second World War was a “total war” affecting civilians and soldiers alike. Food shortages affected everyone, and everyone had to adapt. Leningrad comes to...<br />

I want to build a P51 Mustang Replica for display, I have some sponsors here who help me with free materials and services. I want to use the drawings of mr. Marcel Jurca to do the parts and assembly, but the drawings are in PDF, and I want an assumed, responsible, serious volunteer CAD engineer to help me redraw the drawings from the PDF and put them into DXF files, so it can be easily cut on CNC...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Have you ever visited a WW2-related museum or site which has remained in your memory?  For me, it was the Jewish Museum in Berlin, with an area dedicated to the Holocaust.  There were many thought provoking aspects to it, for example, the floor was uneven in places, designed to represent the Jews&#039; struggle, and there was a darkened.room with sounds to represent the gas chambers. I could not go in the darkened room, that was a step too far for me, but the memory of the place has stayed with me.]]></content:encoded>

<br />
<br />
I could write all day but I’ll try to keep this short.<br />
<br />
<br />
In may 2021 me and my friend went to search a plane which was rumoured to be in a northern part of Lapland, Finland. It was crash landed after getting a hit during a fight in air. We were quite lucky and found the plane with a help of maps and some norwegian friends. Trip to the plane was already an adventure what I will not forget anytime soon.<br />

<br />
Most of the plane was already gone and under ground, but some...<br />

The latest craze for the youth of America is YouTube videos where children watch other kids play with toys. I really don&#039;t understand it but it is what it is. One of these channels is dedicated to WWII toy. He loves it and now wants, in his own words, &quot;A Sherman tank, a T-34 and a KV-1.&quot; As his birthday is soon approaching this summer I have enthusiastically decided to approve his request....<br />

I had an idea a couple years ago that what if you took the designs of the Mk V and made it &quot;modern&quot;. So you would have the outwards appearance of the Mk V but you have the armor, weapons, power, and all that other jazz of say a Abrams tank. I know its an extreme idea based on how much it costs to build a Abrams but its only an idea. My dream...<br />
