Well...

I was born in 1952 and like you, for me the WW2 is in Europe and even the West Europe.
In my country we never say "the war 1939-1945" but always "the war 1940-1945".
It's clear.
Invasion may 10, 1940, battle of Britain, occupation and resistance actions, and the major point the D Day, Sainte Mère Eglise and Omaha beach the glory of "AA" Airborne and my eternel gratitude for all of the poor guys who sleep today at Colleville-sur-mer.
And finally the battle of the bulges of course witch was 25 miles near my hometown.
That's my WW2 references.

The war in the Pacific would never attracted me, except for acts of bravery of Kamikazes.
About Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it disgusting me.

It makes that for me, SH3 is on a U-Boot and in the Atlantic not in a pink submarine in the Pacific.
