Nice work exposing the emperor’s lack of clothing…

Here are my comments:

* It might be helpful to number the slides.
* Several of the figures/tables are not legible (pages 4, 5, 10)
* Slide 2 - Does that cannon have a name? I’m assuming Schwerer Gustav was the creator/inventor.
* Slide 6 - I’m not sure what “Light aircraft but could carry bombs — just”. If the conventional artillery was called “Rochling shells”, what were the shells for this giant cannon called?
* Slide 7 - I’m not sure who your audience is but will they know what OWASP is?
* Slides 51 and 53 basically repeat the same warning.
* Slide 56 - Scribble only barked 3 times, I though he barked 5 times ;-)

My humble opinions,
Aram Perez

P.S. Glad to see my quote is still on your homepage even after all these years!
