The vast majority of the world's countries, including all of the great powers, fought as part of two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. Many participants threw their economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind this total war, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. Aircraft played a major role, enabling the strategic bombing of population centers and the delivery of the only two nuclear weapons ever used in war. World War II was by far the deadliest conflict in history, resulting in an estimated 70 to 85 million fatalities, mostly among civilians. Tens of millions died due to genocides (including the Holocaust), starvation, massacres, and disease. In the wake of the Axis defeat, Germany and Japan were occupied, and war crimes tribunals were conducted against German and Japanese leaders.Verlinden Productions was the brainchild of Belgian modeler François Verlinden, who gave up a career in the scrap-metal business in the late 1970s to pursue his love of armor modeling and creating dioramas. He opened a hobby store in Lier and, dissatisfied with the limited products available for the serious diorama builder, began to create and sell his own line of merchandise. It wasn't long before Verlinden Productions quickly expanded to aftermarket sets or resin and photoetched brass to correct and upgrade plastic kits, dry transfers, and publications highlighting particular AFVs and planes. In the 1980s, Verlinden met American modeler Bob Letterman and the two started a business relationship with Verlinden's other Belgian partner Josef Stok. The new company, VLS, imported Verlinden Products into the U.S. and offered other product lines. By the 1990s, it became clear that Verlinden Productions and VLS would economically benefit if the Belgian company relocated to the U.S., Verlinden packed up shop and moved to the St. Louis, Missouri area where Letterman was located. Alas, differences in philosophies and personalities among the owners and staff led to a rather acrimonious split after a few short years.Your shipment will arrive via USPS Priority Mail (1-4 business days) or USPS Ground Advantage (2-5 business days), after the 2-3 day processing time (upon paid purchase)WE COMBINE-SHIP - ASK US FIRST!Shipment(s) sent out of Lemon Grove, California, USAWill be packed very well - read our feedback!No Returns ***AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT AFTER PURCHASE, WHICH MAY REFLECT A MORE ACCURATE POSTAGE RATE FOR THIS ITEM - DON'T PASS THIS UP YET!
