RE: KV1 Question
Amazing how history in a way, repeats itself. Look at Sadam Hussein...he was a double for Stalin in appearance, Stalin was his idol and both were unbelievably paranoid, with most of the military leadership terrified of disagreeing with him on anything. Looking back, it makes one wonder...if Hitler as well as Stalin had listened to their generals instead of playing "ultimate commander", what kind of deep sheet we would have been in. Neither Barbarosa nor Normandy would most likely have never taken place. Stalin had tanks named after him, but Hitler or Saddam, no. Just "Lion of Bahgdad" which was more the tank than to Saddam. We went overboard and had 4 tanks named for Patton.
