Revisionist history being taught in Europe?

[Skybird]

You seem to not wanting to get what I said. How to calculate losses in lifes against material contributions in the main, was my example question? Russia alone would not have made it. America alone would not have made it. Britain alone would not have made it. Lend-Lease, suggested French raise and living under Soviet dominance has nothing to do with all this thread.

You may be surprised, but I find it unreasonable to expect other people to be ETERNALLY thankful for something, no matter what (especially when oneself has not contributed to that past cause). If you expect them to be that, you effectively turn them into your slaves. My thanks goes to those soldiers who today are old and actively fought in WWII and helped to overcome tyranny. My sympathy goes to those soldiers from all countries, Axis and Allies as well, as long as they were victim of circumstance, not active perpetrator of war crimes or active supporters of dictators. My respect goes to all those soldiers from all countries who despite themselves being thrown into war managed to keep their humanity or find it again after the war, and resisted to fall for blind hate for that part of mankind being labelled "the enemy".

All you others who have been born after that, and talk about your fathers or grandfathers only - I owe you nothing concerning WWII. For you had nothing to do with WWII. Maybe the word "WE did this and that for you" is a bit inappropriate, for that reason.

Too many suffered dearly - just for living in the wrong time, and the wrong place.
