I agree with you about history and a lot of what you have said. I do apologize for my remarks about the sinking of Japan as that was uncalled for, but I won't apologize to you or anyone else because we got the bomb first and used it before the Japanese could. As for World War 11 I was much older than you and coming from German nationality, I studied a lot of old German records they captured. Yes, our troops committed things they should have been stopped from doing, but after you watch your buddies being shot and starved for no reason it is easy to do that. I speak from experience, you from books.
You know all about World War 11 because you hear stories from your Grandfather. That is nice. My Father was shot in Cologne,Germany which is near where we originated. I listen to his stories and others that I knew but I don't believe everything they say as they were all in a state of mind at the time that caused them to tend to overstate somethings and ignore others. I was in Korea and don't need books or people to tell me what it was like. You don't like me, fine. And remember since you are such a knowledgeable expert on the war that the SS was only following orders just like any other person on the other side.

EG Flying the families of Japanese War Criminals out so they could watch their Husbands/Fathes be SHOT DEAD by FIRING SQUAD!

How about the Japanese taking prisoners at random and bayoneting them or hanging them by the thumbs in the sun until they died just for sport. Yes it happened and that never came from any book.

Time to end this as it is going nowhere. Post if you must but I won't answer as I don't care for this type of posting. Good luck and all the best to you.
