Video: 2 Mysteries about WW2: Why did Hitler declare war on the USA? Why didnt Japan fight
A reader sent me this question: Two things I have puzzled about in WWll: Why did Hitler declare war on USA & Japan not attacking Manchuria.
[This video is about a 6 wheeled French reconnaissance and tank killer. But this vehicle was so successful, that in recent decades, other major armies are actually building more of these wheeled tank killers than ever. This vehicle was built by the French and they used it in so much fighting in Africa and elsewhere, that it has become a legend. However, if you watch to near the end, you'll see that these highly mobile French vehicles outperformed tanks in the Gulf War. The French vehicles moved to fast and hit so hard, that it amazed everyone. France does have a science and technology that is NOT to be sneezed at. I like the aggressive things the French do. Jan]
