Introducing... Secret Project II

[PolarisGL]

Remember, a master's hint on figuring Secret Projects out. Looks can be decieving, and some pictures I post may be used more as metaphors than blatant hints.

I have files already backed up four times: two disks and two other drives. Nothing can stop me this time.

[Mao]

Well, the pic is of Nazis and if I consider that a metaphor than it must be about...

...the Republicans stealing the election!

[MagyarCrusader]

Metaphorical my ass! Lets see, you convert graphics from Sudden Strike, then cities, and now a WWII picture...

Its the Clinton-Rich scandal!!!

So someone did notice my cities.

Ok, let us say this as a clue: It has to do with World War II. That doesn't mean anything.

[Shadowstrike]

Battle of the Hedgerows? The wodden cottage and the hedges kind of hint towards this....

mmm, those Nazi's look a lot like paratroopers to me (don't ask me why, its just a guess).
Invasion of the Low Countries? Crete? Market-Garden?

...I wonder if the guy holding the front of the gun is happy in his line of work

No, no, no. But great guesses!

Its a toughie like the last one, I'm warning all of you.

But a Market-Garden scenario would be neat. Maybe when The Mars Project and the Secret Project are complete.

[BeBMan]

I´m probably not the biggest WWII expert here, but I think they arent paras. I think German WWII paratroopers had other helmets than the normal soldiers. Hmm, may be wrong.

And wasn´t Market Garden an Allied operation (Arnheim)?

[PolarisGL]

Yes, it was. Connection was probably paratroops and not nationality.

It's great that you've got all these projects going Polaris... and the world can always use more WWII scenarios, but exactly when do you expect to finish the new AoW site when you're working on all these things at the same time?

Well, it involves Nazis... and grassland... a scenario depicting some sort of invasion that was planned but never took place (like of Britain, Iceland, Canada and America)?
I don't know what a few germans guarding a house is supposed to be a metaphor of.

[Chris 62]

The uniforms look like 1939-41 period. Can't quite make out the backround at right. But my guess is the early part of Barbarrossa.

[Prometeus]

I agree with cpoulos... I'm not so WWII expert, but i know slavic traditions quite enough to say that pic's house is a russian "isba"...

[PolarisGL]

Case, the HTML is difficult for AoW, and I'm getting about a page done per day.

[St Leo]

Bah, it's the French resistance in scavenged German hardware.

Yeah, but it was opposed by a German 'parachute' army under General Student. In reality, most of the German 'paratroopers' had never seen a German cargo plane, much less jumped out of one.

At the risk of revealing myself as a WW2 nerd, the MG-42 [the big machine gun] in the picture looks like a streamlined, assault varient, as carried by paratroops.

mmm, the picture is a link from a site dealing with models. I wonder if that means anything? (I suspect not)
