Default Thanx for this thread

Watched the HMS Beltham capsize and explode in film on YouTube some 800 brittish sailors lost their life during that filmtake......
Probably 4x that figure were left behind, sisters, parents, girlfriends, kids dealing with the grief.....
With that said since I have a keen interest in history especially WWII, wich is one of the reasons I play this game, I know that I am more aware about these things then most people.
I am Swedish and we did not participate in the war therfore we havent had granparents with whitness stories like yours to tell. So if as a Swede you are not interested it wount come naturally to you.
Recently they found blueprints in Eastgerman archives of two concentrationcamps that were to be built in Sweden, one outside my hometown Malmö the other outside Stockholm. They were never built obviously. Thats the debt I have and my children have to your granfather and all the others who gave their life in the war.
Now I will make sure my kids are aware of this as I am, as you are, that is basicly all I can do to repay my share of the debt, and hopefully my kids will do the same.
