Wierd, why does this ship remind me of Jay Leno?

Lololololol.

Also, the airship is nice, although I agree on the back looking like the front and vice versa. I know propellers are used on the front of planes, but this kind of vehicle warrants a rear propeller more so than a frontal one.

However, the weaponry is very nice, especially the gun nests.

A leftist in Germany? What the fuck? Is that even possible? Where is the hive-mind complex when you need it?

Maybe in the Nationalsozialist Party.

I tried having it urned around but the big opening at the back looked terrible when I put it at the front.

Sorry about being a bit late but I wanted to join the heat ;) .

Think about it this way, if it wasn't for Piltogg Germany, Jews would still be discriminated heavily.
Many many genocides happen'd in history there is no reason to say that the Jews are the only one needing your whining.
Now stop waisting your energy on whining about genocides that happened and start using your energy in preventing them.

(because hey what's the use of killing them if you could use them as slaves.)

Like i mentioned before, no genocide was executed as efficiently and with such malice as "ours". That makes it special and worth remembering about.

P.S. While i know people like Pilldog get a hardon from it i feel obliged to make sure the events of the past are remembered as what they were in their dastardly way.
There is nothing "awesome" about them. Me 261, Tiger technolooly or whatnot was not enough anyway.

I don't know which "ours" you're referring to, but read your Bible. As far as recorded history is concerned, the first and best genocides were all executed by the ancient Hebrews as ordered by God. The Germans were just copycats.

As I like to remind everybody whenever this comes up, the Germans weren't even the best at genocide in their own decade - Stalin beat them in quantity in Ukraine, and the Japanese beat them for malice in Manchuria. but the Ukrainians and Manchurians didn't have an Anti-Defamation League to keep it in the forefront of popular media, and so no one cares about them now.

This is probably true though - we didn't go to war against Germany because we wanted to save their victims - if anything, the U.S. was just as anti-Semitic back then as the Germans, if not more so. But the ADL was able to turn it into a compelling narrative that turned things around on the home front, and became the model for other civil rights movements. So paradoxically, we probably wouldn't have gotten civil rights for all the minority groups that followed either.

By contrast, check out the way the Roma population is still treated in Europe - they took it just as hard in the concentration camps, but no one turned their story into a movement, and they're still treated just as badly as they were before.

Sorry to ruin your dreams piltogg, but as of 2010 even the righties in Germany are more lefty than the lefties here in the U.S. You need to get out of your home state more often.

Very good point, one of my best friends is Korean and I never realized how bad the Japanese were in southeast Asia until he told me what they did to his people.
