ANY WW2 Historians here??

don't you miss the days we fought wars and actually tried to win them?



in case there are some real buffs on here, I grew up in a part of the Netherlands that was liberated during operation "Market Garden"
there was a road growing up, we all called the corridor, after the breach allied troops cut through the german forces

It's almost shocking to read the historical documents and accounts from WW2 and compare them to today.

People were much more frank about killing people, even civilians, back when. It's a pretty recent development that we value (or should) 'every' life. Up until the late '60's, anyone who wasn't a business owner was a labor resource or cannon fodder.
