The start date of ww2 depends largely upon who you ask. I assume you're referring to 1 Sept. 1939 or 3 Sept 1939, but at that point it wasn't really a "World War" yet. For the Americans Americans it began in December 41'. The Russians put the start of the "Great Patriotic War" as June of 41'. The Japanese and Chinese would probably date the conflict back to July of 37', or even as early as 1931, when the Sino-Japanese war began the first time. Many other countries didn't join the war until 44' or 45', though I'm sure everyone would agree it was certainly a world war before that time period.

In any case, congrats on your between 78th and 68th years. May you live to see a hundred or more
I'm not trying to be a smartass, I 'm just wondering which date you're using.

Oh yeah, I'm 27.......going on 21. You're only as old as you feel
