Canadians showed Germany the Blitzkrieg

[Pongo]

Canadians are well and truly honered for thier excellent contributions in WW1. The British and Germans and the whole world recognise the absolute failure of their military staffs or economies.
The Western allies could muster the troops to win but not the plan. The Germans could muster the plan but not the troops.

That America chooses to recogise their own contribution is not supprising. The aussies, Austrians, Italians etc etc including the Canadians do the same.

But to correlate Vimi ridge with blitz krieg is silly.

Me thinks you are just starting to learn about some of these issues and might gain a more measured view with much more research.

Tune in tomorrow for another episode of Canadian Catfight!

all a canadian ever needs to tell anyone is "we invented hockey" and "our strippers are really college student not hooker saying they are college student". that right there could put them in running for most evolved culture on planet earth. if i were alien spy i know where id want to be assigned.

No my opinion is the result of looking at these issues for many years and having read many books on the topics and thinking beyond the biased history books that are so often quoted.

I think you are probably an academic who has been taught to reguritate other peoples opinions to the point where you adopt them as your own.

This is the tradionatl retreat of the person who proposes an extreme and outlandish pet theory and then gets the fcats and reality thrown back in their face.

In other words the: "Dammit think for yourself man!!!" proclamation, naturally proposing that only thoughtless dronmes could oppse you wonderous and unique discovery...

In this respect you really arent much different than the loons who propose that 911 was some government conspiracy.

I don't see any facts being thrown in my face just a few posts belittling my assertions with no examples proving anything wrong.

My reply is totally on the money I am sure.

You stretch to 911 just shows me how you are totally incapable of making a logical argument.

[GRUNHERZ]

You arent much different than some consipiracy nut...

You take a small factoid, the battle of Vimy Ridge  for example.  And then yoiu twist and expand it out of all proportion and logic to make some greater point that is both outlandish and factually unsupportable beyond your tightly delimited context.

Moreover the consipracy nuts always demand that their outlandish theories be "proven wrong."  When in fcat it is their burden of proof to validate and prove right their own theories..

Thats clearly what we see in your posts..

Pongo has been very nice in pointing you to the facts as to the orgin of blitzkrieg doctorine. I suggest yiou take his advice while he still bothers to offer it...

Canada flew aeroplanes so really they showed Japan how to attack pearl harbour.

Actually Vimy Ridge was only the first time a major battle was fought that was totally planned and executed by the Canadian Generals.

My point about the Blitzkrieg concerns the battles won by the Canadians during the last 6 months of the war up to the final day.

I can tell by your replies that you know nothing about this period so your replies are just the spouting off of someone with too much opinion and no knowledge. Something I am sure you are not afraid to do despite the fact it makes you look stupid.

[GRUNHERZ]

If you are limiting your timeframe to the last 6 months of WW1 as the source of your Canadian blitzkrieg origin theory then you have a huge problem since the Germans instituted similar special assault tactics in the final spring/summer offensive of 1918.  The offensive and its new tactics and weapons were very succesful in routing the trench system but as Pongo said Germany simply did not have the men to carry it through properly.

And simple facts like that is why you blitzkrieg theory doesnt work...

Let it go, be proud of your nation, but dont take its accomplishments to the point of obsurdity.

And stop the "I know everyting and you guys know nothing" insults, you allready look bad enough with your rantings so please dont do more damage to your position by trying to be a smartazz...

Canadian pilots were the best of the best in WW1. That is true Furball. Barker Collishaw Bishop and probably the best of the war McLaren.

But Japan developed the plan to attack Pearl Harbour from a report published by an American many years before the war.

I assume this report was based on the British action at Taranto.

nope, couldn't have been if this report was before the war.  What report Habu?
