- And that was the Germans. The Poles still had horse cavalry in 1939. To tragic effect against the panzers. Of course, by late 1944 Germany's lost access to the all-important oil fields in Russia.

- I swear to god, there is somebody at the BBC who is actually determined to remove scenes featuring my favourite characters.
