  1. The plane (the original Wright Flyer) is depicted flying backwards - if it was flying forwards it would be pushing the banner rather than towing it.
  2. Welcome to the modern world of criminal justice! The victims (or potential victims) seem to be given zero consideration in these matters.
  3. Must have been a really good hamburger.... https://news.yahoo.com/half-eaten-hamburger-leads-high-204017239.html
  4. The original plan of Barbarossa was to have Moscow as one of three primary targets (the others were Kiev and Leningrad) - Moscow was the center of Russia's rudimentary travel and communications networks - and as it turned out Stalin was determined to meet his fate in Moscow -which would have destroyed the political structure of Russia, Guderian's panzers were about 200 miles from Moscow when Hitler diverted them to complete half of a pincers movement behind Kiev. Once that was done the panzers were sent back towards Moscow where they came close to Moscow (forward units could actually see the spires of the Kremlin) but between improved Soviet defenses (built during the respite while the panzers were to the south), winter equipped Russan reinforcements brought in from the Far East (which included a bunch of T-34 tanks) and eventually the weather dashed any hope of taking Moscow.
  5. Actually IMHO the Germans could have defeated Russia if Hitler had not made so many really stupid decisions. He got lucky early in the war and thought he was a far better strategist than he was. (He made some really poor decisions prior to Operation Barbarossa which also likely lost the war for Germany.)

  10. Tempered glass will have smoother/more even edges than regular glass. Here is a site that will calculate load bearing. https://www.dullesglassandmirror.com/glass-weight-load-calculator If you want to be sure you could insert a piece of wood (not particle board or plywood) on top of the glass - looks like the glass is not going to be visible anyway. You could also paint the wood to match the side panels on the shelves.

  12. Looks like a big part of the problem is the latter day catch and release policies. https://news.yahoo.com/los-angeles-train-thefts-union-000919705.html
