A little description before I click the link please.

Same. I'm not clicking a link without a description. Oops - guess I need to read the fine print underneath!

Thanks for the description!

A nice, fun "what if", although it's a mistake to think it tells us anything about modern media.

The media is very much a product of the times and even vice-versa. It is wrong to look at the media in the UK or US 1930/1940s as in some way naive or blindly nationalistic. The biggest change to the media has been investigation, as opposed to reliance on the official government line to cover stories and "instant" coverage of events.

It is basically CNN does Omaha.

Figured if I said it, it would kinda ruin the "joke," I stupidly didn't think about nobody wanting to click on a link w/o anything on it.

I sometimes forget that we all ain't real life buddies that know that we wouldn't send our friend malicious stuff.

I HAVE been hanging out here too long, haven't I?

Brilliant find thanks for sharing it with us

How they managed to do that landing is beyond me - I'm just very glad that they did. It was the begining of the end for Nazi Germany.
