that is, an interesting factoid. (and…they all ended up stabbing each other in the back)

pivoting further back into history:

Excellent video. I was especially intrigued by his mention that the socialist Axis powers did not cooperate with each other in the same way that the Allied powers did. The allies coordinated together, giving the socialist Soviets, on the Allied side, one job to do and plenty of equipment with which to do it, but the Germans, Japanese, and Italians squabbled over strategic actions such as invasions. The Allies willingly shared technologies and equipment but the Axis refused to share.

Really enjoyed this. Glad they let us join them in the room with the pilot and didnt muck it up with music or other “enhancements”.

I did not know Spitfire props were wooden.

WW2 was my late father’s war. I’ve been an omnivorous glutton for info of any kind about it since I was a kid.
