Not exactly, considering what followed in Korea after WWII LOLOLOL

All I can say, is that you can't be much unluckier than these Korean guys.

Turn your irony filter off mate

I think that's 100,000 dead over the period of the entire war in Europe, not just the last 11 months...

hehehe, this is humour, not irony
A british should understand immediately - great sense of humour there is in your island.

BTW, what an amazing tv series is "The Office". I just saw it and I'm still loughing.
Best tv series since many-many years. Original and accurate . Everyone who works (or have worked in an office) MUST watch it

Cheers

Irony is a form of Socratic humour look you invented it don't blame me Ming

Some interesting facets as well:
The northernmost Italians were on lake Ladoga, where there was an italian MAS (MTB) flotilla.
Chinese He 111s flew combat missions against the japanese and were shot down by japanese fighters, while japanese apparenlty used a small number of two seat Seversky P-35s against the chinese as well as Fiat Br.20s against the Russians.
Nationalist China had a german-run airline called Eurasia using Ju 52s and G 24s whose pilots were german and were still flying regular service to Hong Kong and other english holdings in 1941. German Eurasia Pilots and US CAAC pilots had to work together to escape from Hong Kong with their airliners.
Also while Italy attacked Greece 1940, Germany only was at war with Greece from May 1941, so in Athens german airliners and military transports often flew to the same airfields from which british Blenheims flew bombing missions.
In east Africa, the South African air Force used Ju 86s and Ju 52s against the Axis, while in Iraq the pro axis junta used Gladiators and Nothrop 8As (export version of the SBD) against the allies.

In 1939 the Hela peninsula capitulated to the germans. Polish commander at the Scene was Admiral von Unruh (Jozef Unrug in polish), while german commander was General Kwiatkowski..
Unruh had been a U-Boat captain in WW1 and was at one time watch officer on a Boat commanded by Karl Dönitz....

Hungary, a landlocked country was ruled by an Admiral

What time period were the Chinese He111s used? Anyone done skins for them ever?

How about skins for the Eurasia Ju52s? Other airline skins that belong in different places? Might be cool to dress up some early war airfields...

tater

S!

Agree.. I think it would be great to have some of the transports in `civilian` skins.

The story of Unrug and Kwiatkowski reminded me of another little bit of history:

"In late afternoon of 3rd March 1945 machines of 347th FS / 350th FG, which operated over Italy, came across two Focke-Wulf 190s. Lt. Sigmund Hauser brought his guns to bear on one of them and loosed off a long burst. His aim was dead on and resulted in many strikes on the wings and fuselage. However, debris torn by his rounds off the Focke-Wulf's airframe smashed against his Thunderbolt, damaging it so seriously that Hauser was forced to bail out. Both machines cratered into the ground close to each other. The Fw 190F's pilot, killed in his machine, was Hptm. Willi Wilzopolski, Staffelkapitän 1./NSGr 9. Lt. Hauser was captured. Judging for surnames of the two pilots, the American was more of German ancestry than his victim...

Christ, you've heard about that B-25 hitting the Empire State Building in New Zealand, Kami? Most Americans don't even know that happened. Most New Yorkers don't know about it either, for that matter. Must have been something on the Discovery Channel or something ... ?
