Operation Bweinh! Post

I have no idea what to post about this week. None.

Anyway, here are some interesting military projects and operations from the past I’ve been reading about recently.

1. Project Habakkuk — A British plan during WWII to build an aircraft carrier out of ice and wood pulp for North Atlantic combat. The idea was that the construction materials would keep the ship afloat even if it took on water. My question: what were the accommodations like? I can’t imagine it’d be very comfortable to sleep, work, or play in a giant refrigerated ice fortress, even by the Royal Navy’s admittedly low standards of comfort.

2. The New Swabian Expedition — Never to be outdone in ice-related military technology, Germany claimed a large portion of Anarctica as its very own for use in the procurement of whales to kill. No one ever recognized their claim, and Germany largely abandoned the plan. Of course, some will tell you the Third Reich never surrendered New Swabia and so it still lives on. However, these are the same kind of people who would tell you that Hitler himself is still alive and collaborating with the Illuminati and space lizards to take over the world.

3. The Color-Coded War Plans — These operations will be delivered in game format — which countries/regions/empires were the following operations developed against? No cheating!

War Plan Red:
War Plan Orange:
War Plan Yellow:
War Plan Green:
War Plan Indigo:
War Plan Violet:
War Plan Black:
War Plan Citron:
War Plan Silver:
War Plan Gold:

That’s all for now. Thanks for playing along this week; there’ll be more topical stuff next week, hopefully. Imagine this guy telling “yo mama” jokes at 8:30 every Friday morning in a Macroeconomics class and you’ll have a pretty good idea what every day of my semester has been like thus far.

Or at least every Friday morning.

    I know Canada was in there, but can’t for the life of me remember which’n it is.
