  1. Presumably place a cup of tea near the trunk and they get down under their own steam. Thus the phrase - "dropping in for tea".
  2. 3/4 of US supplies to Russia arrived via the pacific ports and through Persia. Of course that means they wouldn't have got all those Valentines and Hurricanes, but they probably weren't pivotal.
  3. Yes. Once it's out I fear I won't be posting here nearly as much as I currently do.
  4. For clarification, dt should have stressed that these cheeks are off the head of a pig.
  5. I'm not having a pop at the Belgians or the thrust of your point, but the Belgians surrendered on 28th May which was some few days before the evacuation at Dunkirk was complete. The French and British were there in much greater numbers, so I'm not entirely persuaded that the Belgians featured so pivotally at Dunkirk as you suggest. That's obviously not to say that there weren't heroic defences at other locations.
  6. >they controlled 98 percent of the available onions in Chicago Blimey! That' shallot.
  7. The first two pdfs referenced here http://www.thinlyveiled.com/kchristensen.htm have two (different) email addresses for him.
  8. from http://www.sunstonemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/sbi/articles/132%2002-09.pdf it says 'KEVIN CHRISTENSEN, B.A., English, is a technical writer living in Lawrence, Kansas. He has published several articles, including the recent, “The Temple, the Monarchy, and Wisdom: Lehi’s World and the Scholarship of Margaret Barker,” in Glimpses of Lehi’s Jerusalem. His email is kskchris@sunflower.com.' The document is dated May 2004. The pdf has some details on 'Sunstone', which may have something to do with sunflower.com and might be traceable via that organisation.
  9. When becomes the important difference is presumably the specific use of *medium* in the second quote. For completeness and context (1944) there was the 400 per month Soviet heavy AFV production (and the German equivalent of say 90 per month), and the 600 per month Soviet SU76 production (and German light AFV of say 200 per month). There might be an argument for excluding the light AFV production. It might even be convincing. Why one would want to arbitrarily exclude Soviet heavy AFV production of a third as much again as Soviet medium AFV production eludes me. I think its just easier to say that German AFV production equalled Soviet AFV production in 1944 (as long as you arbitrarily exclude 20-40% of Soviet AFV production). Or, perhaps we are using different sources for AFV production, in which case I can't see that either position can be stated dogmatically.
  10. Did you have some particular day, week, month or year in mind? My recollections was that peak Soviet AFV production was at least a third as much again (as German) - if not more, and a trivial check (Wikipedia - so certainly not infallible) seemed to support that impression. I'm sure you have your good sources, but just stating that something is crock doesn't make it so.
