Ironic how i'm working on my own uboat mod for SH4 now, and i have to say i winced when i put U-181's conning tower emblem as a selectable option. But then, i was never advocating the white washing of history, only the maintaining of perspective. A few too many people seem display that flag in a proud manner, much akin to how an American will display the US flag. The swaztika in that context will always get my goat. |
ROFL ...leave it to me to comment on a dead thread....
I totally agree with you. Its one thing to keep things in a historical perspective and quite another to glorify it. When I lived in Germany I went to Dachau... I think every american should have to go there (or
Auschwitz). If you have a shread of humanity in you.... it will horrify you to see the depths of depravity men can fall to.
Its one thing to SEE the pictures of corpses piled up to the roof top level... its quite another to be STANDING in the same place while viewing the same picture
