anyone watch this show on the military channel.Really good show and learned some things I didnt know about hitler.I really like the ones about his fleet of planes and his trains.I would hate to dive on his train as it had 4 20 mm gun platforms and the first train was named america
-
really interesting show....and how could you miss it...the military channels' been playing it damn near constantly for the last week
-
It was interesting the first two times. Now I'm pretty sick of it since it seems to be all they air right now.

LMFAO...same here. The military channel has always been a staple while riding the elliptical and the show is on ALL OF THE TIME now. There was a wings of the Luftwaffe on the other night and I thought the streak was over, then BAM Hitler's Bodyguards...again....for the rest of the night. :(

director of programming really needs to tighten up .I am recovering from major surgery and am getting sick of military channel-even springer is looking good
-
they are not trying to entertain you, they are trying to educate you.
those that ignore history are going to repeat it.

Just what I was thinking
-
Even reruns from programming yearrrrs ago sprinkled in would be better than seeing the same thing over & over & over.

From all the stuff I see in game on CH200 "but military channel said *insertnonsensehere* !", I'm not sure if they really try at all, or just fail...
-
Much of what they place on their programming is speculative. Seems like to me they're trying to spark an interest for others to go out & read books which document the history rather than to provide comprehensive solid history which stands on it's own two feet.
-
It's the WikiHistory Channel
:lol
wrongway
-
Yeah they've really been playing the s@#$ outta this "Hitlers Bodyguard" thing, it seems to be the only thing on everytime I turn on the Military Channel.
-
I think they finally broke their copy of
Hitler's 2nd cousin's astrologist's drug abusing dog :rofl
If it wasn't for poor old Adolf, they'd only be able to broadcast
about 2 hours a day.
-
Haha, looks like at least someone benefited from Hitler's rampage. :noid
-
Great planes is on at 9pm. Only 4 more hours of hitler to go .
-
Wow, I just turned on the Military Channel and you'll never guess whats on again.

Great Planes has it wrong too. They call the P-51 Mustang with four 20mm a Mustang with only four .50 cals. and then calls the bubble canopy a new canopy designed by Robert Malcolm the 'Malcolm Hood.' Whoever writes for that show comes off like a 6th grader. :rolleyes:
They do advertise AHII though. :aok

Not sure if you worded that wrong or something, but the Mustang has only 4 .50 cals.
-

Nope. The P51 Mustang has 4 20mm. The P51B/C has four .50 cals. The P51D/K has 6 .50 cals.
-
I believe the only P-51 that had 20mm cannons on it was the British variant Mk IA, all other variants had the .50 cals, so when they talk about the P-51 on TV I'm sure they'll always refer to the 51 as having the .50 cals unless they are specifically talking about the P-51 Mk IA.
-
The American version is the P51 before there were sub-versions and the British version is the Mustang Ia. Im not sure you can call the P51 a Mustang at that point because the Army was calling the North American types Apache along with the A36a. The British called it Mustang. I remember reading that in the UK the Mustang Ia squadrons had the reputation of beating the crap out of the Spitfires they sparred with but only as long as the fight was below FL120. I believe more then any other reason the type was renamed Mustang to avoid confusion but it is clear North American intended the type be known as Apache originally.

I find in intresting how Hitler didn't trust anyone. And all the top Nazi people always try to get a head of each other. They act like republicans and democrate debating on a bill.

Yeah but I think on TV anytime they refer to the P-51 as a Mustang they are talking about the 51's that had the .50 cals on it as the general public knows any P-51 as a Mustang.
Plus like I said, out of all the variants of the 51 only 1 had 20mm on it, all others had .50 cals.
-
Oh is that what you meant!? No they were showing the P51 with the barrels that extend out of the wing and have recoil springs. Those are P51s. And they called them Mustangs with four .50 cals which isnt right at all. In fact I doubt there was much research that went into the entire series. Its a real shame.
-
Yeah, I figured that there was some kind of miscommunication going on here.
-
I just saw the episode you mentioned and did see what you were talking about, that they are showing on the screen a P-51 flying with the 20mm cannons and say that the pilots were complaining about the fact it only had the Browning .303 guns.

Most of you do know that the Hitler's Bodyguard was a series of a bunch of different shows right? I know I saw at least 5 different ones, yeah they kept replaying some of them, but I saw a new one every night for about 3 or 4 nights then caught the one about his train on Saturday.

Yeah we do, it's just that they keep replaying them over & over alot lately.
-
Yeah, that got a little old, but I did see the Great Planes episode you all were talking about. That museum is only about 3 1/2 hours from here, so I need to go see it. We'll be down that way this weekend so I'll have to convince the wife of the necessity of heading that way.
