Just as good as the "second star on the right, on till morning....then left at the traffic lights".
Think I'll get another waggy finger for hijacking? Think i might start collecting them.
Joking!

We need some good technical or tactical threads then people can disagree or contest without issue.

Back to the Hitlerite obsession.

Google searches:
Hitler: 37,500,000 results.
Stalin: 12,800,000.
Churchill: 1,470,000. (many completely unrelated).
Roosevelt: 662,000.
mussolini: 278,000.
Hirohito: 34,500.

Unscientific but I'd say we were still somewhat obsessed?

What was I watching this morning before getting children to school?
Inside the Nazi State, on UKTV.
We will be obsessed until the day someone nastier comes along.

Given Iran's conference on the 'fakeness' of the Holocaust, i hope historians do dig deeper and deeper into the archives and keep the Nazi Regime to the forefront of more people's minds.

The obsession by Hitler and his regime to exterminate a race and those considered unclean etc etc will never be forgotten as it was completely documented and witnessed for all to see and all to remember.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts? Check out this site:

A Grenadier Guards Veteran friend of mine said exactly the same thing. [that was WW1 though.]
