little upset that im not in the UK but what ever. Also im upset that every time we talk WW2 and Germany its the Nazis invading. IT WAS NOT THE NAZIS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! Sure there were Nazis apart of it, but most of them were just fighting for their country.

Quote:
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Goering at the Nuremberg Trials" |

Did anyone watch this last night? Had a few interviews with former RN and merchant sailors that took part in the arctic convoys, but no mention of convoy PQ17. Perhaps that convoy deserves a documentary all to itself.
