maqroll Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 I've been reading a bit about how during the 19th century in the United States, the southern slave owning aristocracy promoted the idea that they were a superior race to white northerners. They claimed they were the descendants of "noble" Norman cavaliers, whereas the northerners were all "common" Saxons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted December 16, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2014 The raid on Scarborough, Hartlepool and Whitby, which took place on 16 December 1914, was an attack by the Imperial German Navy on the British seaport towns ofScarborough, Hartlepool, West Hartlepool, and Whitby. The attack resulted in 137 fatalities and 592 casualties, many of whom were civilians. The attack resulted in public outrage towards the German navy for an attack against civilians, and against the Royal Navy for its failure to prevent the raid.

blandy Posted December 16, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 16, 2014 Southerners have always been superior to Northerners in the UK Don't Southerners have a guide book of things to do up here in't North? "Number 1 - Feel Superior." Well, if it keeps the shandy-drinking softies happy, bless, then let them carry on with their little dreams. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted December 16, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2014 Amazing what "Ultra" did for the war effort in WW2. How the Germans didn't know their code was broken is equally amazing. I think the thing I find most fascinating about this is that the code was so successful that it was effectively the German's own stupidity in using it that meant we could break it.

colhint Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Amazing what "Ultra" did for the war effort in WW2. How the Germans didn't know their code was broken is equally amazing. I think the thing I find most fascinating about this is that the code was so successful that it was effectively the German's own stupidity in using it that meant we could break it. I know what you mean. It was designed to be perfect, and in many ways it was. It was the users who cocked it up. I'm sure there was the on guy who believed that it couldn't be broken that he sent a message just pressing the L key about 50 times for a joke. Well that was cracked within about 10 minutes and gave them the crib for a day. The one's that really impressed me were the ones who cracked the Japanese codes, how do you do that? its symbols not letters. The only code not broken were the windtalkers, The American Navajo indians own tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
