Thank you Al. I have raised these points before. Other "Inconvenient subjects" for the apologists are the German Policy of "Total War", and the Zeppelin and Gotha TERROR RAIDS of WWI, burning hundreds of British Women and Children alive with incendiary devices. Terribly rum bunch, these Huns.

Little wonder, then, that the British Public have little to no sympathy for what ensued.

I stand with Harris (an RFC Fighter Ace, one whom can hardly be accused of cowardice). Harris was particularly moved as he surveyed the devastation wrought by Gotha and Zeppelin Bombers on the City of London in 1917-18. They bombed people indiscriminately, including my own Tyneside, Sunderland, and even Edinburgh and Glasgow too.

Do we see a "pattern" emerging, here....or is it just me?

"They that sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind" .

You kill 1000 of our Women and Children, we will do our utmost to kill 10 thousand of our Enemy. All is fair, in love and War. Hard lines.

No sympathy. None. Zilch. Nada. Cry me a river.

End of story.

The difference is, Germany errects memorials for the victims, you guys errect memorials for the perpetrators. And this post of yours is the perfect example of the mindset behind that.
Better hope other ppl have moved on, as that quote of yours about "sowing the wind" fits to quite a few situations of a certain wholier then you country.

I refuse to cuddle with WW2 WAAF hottie. Why?

Cause dem gals just too damn old but if I can hook up with current WAAF hottie I mos def would.

The difference is, Germany errects memorials for the victims, you guys errect memorials for the perpetrators.

LMAO...."the perpetrators"..........In Denial.....Much?

Meanwhile, back on Planet Earth.......

Never mind.

I would say its quite typical of the British mindset that they developed in their colonial wars. They thought themselves to be superior to anyone else, but when their arrogance fails against a superior military force on the battlefield, they tried terror on the enemy population.

Harris tried exactly that - and he failed. What he DID achieve is getting the best educated younger British men killed and drive his country bancrupt with the staggering costs of Bomber Command's ultimately ineffectual terror offensive.

LOL. Most countries erect memorials commemorating successes in war or battle. A lot of countries erect memorials for the memory of those that have died in battle. In the UK there are lots of memorials commerating the civilian dead though they're not so prevalent.

The most famous victim memorial is probably the Holocaust memorial in Berlin and there's a reason for it being there. Personally I don't think it should be there as it rubs the noses of German peoples in their country's less than pleasant history, and that can't be right. I do however believe there should be such a memorial somewhere.

Reap what you sow seems about right to me.

Now I thought that Kurfurst was Hungarian? Not sure why I think that but there you go.

Anyone he's just baiting with such nonseniscal arguments. Nothing to back it up and he's just regurgitating arguments learnt by rote.

Ignore it.

Just a bit of a "come back to Earth" reminder that the "homeland" isn't as innocent as those flyers who won't fly another nation's plane over it seem to believe.

Of course they were. It must really hurt that you're descended from British settlers. I think you should give up everything you have to the aborigines to assuage some of the guilt you must feel.

I'm not sure what is meant by the second sentence as there has not been any discussion about the rights and wrongs of a country, only that some find it difficult to fly the enemy's aircraft over the game's depiction of their homeland, whether thats a 109 over London, a Spitfire over Berlin or a Zero over Sydney.

Nice attempt to hijack the thread to post your rather skewed ideas though.

Thank You 1c for the ignore list ... now I know what it is good for!
