flamingknives Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 To be honest, I don't really know what the last thread was actually about, I was just being disruptive. But Joachim has a point and I don't want to break the forum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Joachim has a point and I don't want to break the forum. OK. So, moving on from your penultimate post, does anyone know the correct Latin for "potato"? Solanum tuberculosum seems a bit clumsy. Also, I would be interested to know the Latin for chips, crisps and bacon-flavoured cheezy wotsits. All the best, John. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hetzer38, Here's a terrific late war newsreel with fabulous footage, including some wonderful German tank busting footage late in the piece. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/428147/ww2_footage_eastern_front_january_1945/ Hs-129 tank busting footage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54PSlFEEE7Q Regards, John Kettler [ April 08, 2007, 07:39 PM: Message edited by: John Kettler ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Hetzer38, There's a newly discovered late war Luftwaffe documentary in color here, but I can't get it run properly. Maybe there's something useful in it, which is why I'm letting you know. http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com/MATINEE.html Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
