How about the motorized infantry which I often heard about? What were the key differences in terms of roles for these 2? Typically how would a German army attack a russian army in terms of co ordination among the luftwaffe,panzer gradiers, artillery, pioneer battalion etc?

Much had been said about the invincible General Winter and the sheer amount of Russian manpower and their strong will to fight the enemies for their motherland. Not to mentioned about many capable generals which Zhukov stood out in the forefront.

But could Russia really stop the determined Germans without Stalin who put the huge Russia together in time of such crisis?
Esp. from the point of view of the then China reigning government which came under strong attack from the Japanese.

I would like to know if there is some research in North America about this interesting fact. I didn't find much information in Brazil. I just know that they stayed here about 800 years, they built some cities in Amazon, northeast coast and Rio de Janeiro was first habited by them (there is some writing in phoenician alphabet in a place called Pedra da Gavea). There is some descriptions in Greek ancient texts talking about cities in Amazon region. These researches are new, and (I don't know why) we don't learn it at school.

I've just always wondered if there was some torture aspect to it, otherwise isn't it just a waste of materials? The tar can be cleaned off eventually...

I'm asking because in Night at the Museum, Octavius (98 BC) and his army shoot Ben Stiller with flaming arrows and flaming catapults. I've always thought that flaming weaponry was invented by the Native Americans in the 1500s or so.

this question intrigues me. i havent gotten around to asking how this could occur.

how could the participants of WW1+2 (Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Italy and Russia) muster millions of men for world for the second world war when they lost so millions in the first? i dont think there was enough men to create a baby boom in the 20s and 30s. can someone help me out?

also what was the male-female ratio of these countries in respective wars? how long did it take for these countries after both wars to replenish its male population to equilibrium?

I was at Gettysburg last week and there are dozens, if not hundreds of cannons decorating the park (and the town).

Where did they get them all? The Armies certianly did not leave them behind, they would have had to have been purchased by the Park Service at some point, I guess. Are they real? Are they replicas? Did the US Army retire them when they were obsolite?
