Petsamo Nickel, well its close to Norway

Can anyone substantiate these data?

German troops immediately occupied the nickel-producing Petsamo area in the north (and managed to ship 70,000 tons of nickel to Germany in 1941).

One third of all German tanks were made of Petsamo-nickel.

Tanks aren't made of nickel.

The steel that tanks are made of contains nickel as an alloying metal....

Er, yes we know. Not the best wording perhaps, but it wasn't meant that the entire tank was made of Nickel.

Then be more careful of your wording...

Not my wording. Be more careful of your vents.

No chance, you're the one made the ambiguous post...

No chance, it was not written by I. Your personal attack is lame.

You're claiming YOU didn't post up

One third of all German tanks were made of Petsamo-nickel.

It doesn't matter if you copied it from a source - if you supposedly knew better as you claim, why post it up at all?

I believe you've been advised before to check the content of your sources...

You were already given a patient explanation above,( post # 3), apparrently that wasn't good enough. You feel a compulsion to continue with this unproductive attack which serves no purpose than to highlite your scat persona.

As an asides, it said made of, nowhere did it state "exclusively made from", or "limited to" said Nickel, therefore your initial attack is grammatical bs anyways.

Now grow up & learn how to behave in a chatroom, & of you insist on pressing meaningless attacks, be sure to check the veracity & accurrateness of said attacks before wasting board space on them.

Now grow up & learn how to behave in a chatroom

O I know how to behave on a forum, after all, I run one and have run others

Not had a good think about my username yet?

P.S. if you're claiming now that the quote from from an outside source - how come when I click on the weblink provided the source is "not found"? We can't see if you've copied it verbatim without thinking about it, or not.

Links run out over time. Thanks for sharing negative innuendo. Doesn't matter if you run one, you've still proven here conclusively you don't know how to behave in one.

In less than a year?

Pity, because then we can't check your subsequent claim that you were only copying what it said there, can we?

Came from a discussion in WW2 forums from 2005. Thats longer than a year. Why the fascination with it?

Here you go, only copied what it said there. Slotted yet again. Give it up mate, yer never gonna win it.

Because if this statement, of course...

No chance, it was not written by I

Here you go, only copied what it said there. Slotted yet again

So you posted up a weblink without checking it worked???

Tut. And you have the nerve to say "learn how to behave in a chatroom"?

Give it up mate, yer never gonna win it

I already have - twice. I showed you the road elsewhere and you went along it

(maybe that should have been ThirdFront....)

Nope, lost it thrice now, bs grammatical argument, inferred I wrote it, didn't. & again continue with this unacademic-unproductive, & unrelated to the subject material rant, which again conclusively proves you don't know how to behave in a chatroom. & have no regard for the rules or the other members of said chatroom. You slot yourself.

You're obviously still sore about long lost Iceland & Narvik debates of the past & this is the motivating fatctor for this silly rant of yours. Which again shows your inability to grow & learn & move on with life.

Oh an appeal to the Rules, eh?

Please make an effort to post clear, concise, meaningful and well though out messages.

In other words - post #1 of this thread was NOT clear, as it contained material from offsite (ww2f) without a direct link to that site, instead it appeared to be the OP's own opinion.

Posts that are offensive or in poor taste and do not add value of discussion will be removed.

We can look forward to YOUR "scat personality" comment being removed then?

You're obviously still sore about long lost Iceland & Narvik debates of the past

Why would I be sore about debates where I and others wiped the floor with you? Which I'll be providing links to the moment I can externally link here, to let other members judge for themselves I'm sure they'll enjoy...

I'm sure they'll particularly enjoy reading threads where material you've posted up here had already been countered, disproved or proven to be totally unfounded supposition and opinion BEFORE you chose to post it again here for them to read

Fantasies are great Chode-king, & its nice that you enjoy em, but really leave at home it's embarrasing.

Oh dear - two adhominems in one thread?

Oh dear, 5 irreverant insult posts in one thread? Only 1 page no less, will blunders never cease?

Irreverent post, yes....insults? Not one from me, I leave that to you - for if anyone is going to get their posts deleted due to adhominem attacks and insults, I think I prfer it to be you

So keep them up, get yourself banned from another forum...

Nope that's your specialty. You can here spoiling for a fight, you got it, lost it as usual. End of story.

You can here spoiling for a fight, you got it, lost it as usual. End of story

And exactly who was reduced in a thread page to adhominem attacks?

You were reduced in this & every other thread. That is the exactly who.

Checks again....nope, no adhominems from me! I leave that to you.

Right, just irreverant personal attacks that have no bearing on sunject material. Which was where you started this & how you lost it before it began.

Actually, no - where I started this was noting that the comment you posted up about tanks being made of nickel was worng...THEN I noted that the link you used was out of date...THEN I noted that you''d posted up something that YOU SAID you knew was wrong.

So if you knew it was wrong - why post it???

& you're original point regarding Nickel was corrected, prior to that a patient polite explanation was given you,( see post#3), from there you went on a personal attack tear that continues ad nasuem.

Yes, post #3...

but it wasn't meant that the entire tank was made of Nickel..

So if it wasn't meant - why post it up at all? You still haven't explained WHY you posted up such an obviously incorrect statement.

You tried to dismiss it as hey, someone else posted it somewhere else - but that doesn't explain why YOU RE-posted it if you knew it was wrong.

Again the statement isn't incorrect, only your misintrepretation of it. Which has previously been corrected.

What wasn't meant was your incorrect interpretation. Again, you were given a polite explanation. Why was this not sufficient?, & why does it need endless repeats for you?

Again the statement isn't incorrect, only your misintrepretation of it.

I'm interested in WHY you posted it up at all, if it was both misleading (as you've admitted) and incorrect. Or were you simply at your old trick of posting up everything you can think of on a particular subject, irrelevant/accurate or not?

Um, again not incorrect as has been patiently explained to you "several times" now, just not the best wording. Have you nothing better to do than regurgitate the same old repeated semantic circular nowhere argumentation? The point of which is nothing?

Why did I post it, ok, one time only... I posted it as it is an interesting subject, that being Petsamo Nickel & how much the germans got & what percentage it played in Tiger tank production & other war making apparatus. Plain & simple. This being a Scandinavian chatroom I figured there might be more indepth info on it. Got it?

Guys. 30 posts with petty squabbling about wording and who said what.
Clearly you have run into each other at other fora before. I suggest you take the fighting there, and leave NUAV for factual discussions.

Just my opinion of course.

Hello!

An interesting thread indeed, but I double kaiis words.
