The Battle of Britain Was The First Defeat For The German Luftwaffe.

You know what I think about "feeling ashamed of" some deeds of ancestors.

I for my part I am very happy that we have this huge memorial. It is like a huge salt grain in a wound. And yes, it may hurt sometimes. But I think by this pain staking needle constantly remembering us what is wrong one can improve and do the right thing and thus better oneself. Looking straight into the truth just can help you to make the right decisions. Ignoring truth only may lead to repeat the same mistakes.

PS: And I agree: there had been some awful posts here directed at the British. I ignored them on purpose as they really spoke for themselves. Some ppl just are so *** that it is useless to argue with them as there is no hope that they can learn. You on the contrary appear like somebody that is able to learn and not as somebody dumb. So take it as a compliment that people argue with you

Exactly a point I made before, I can't help it if the British have no such equivalent, perhaps it is because our colonialist campaigns all happened so far back in history in a time when those kind of actions were 'less' frowned upon and the people who need apologising to are long gone, the events of WWII are still in the memories of living people and happened at a time when it was very much frowned upon, the British don't claim to be on a moral high ground.....we just did the right thing at that time.

This is ITALIAN fascist propaganda to Churchill.

I don't really care if it was a battle, a campaign, an offensive or how ever you want to name it, Britain can be very justly proud of it's achievements during the Battle of Britain.

Imagine how different our would would be today if there hadn't been 20 miles of water seperating Britain from the continent and the bravery of all those who stood up against Nazi Gemany and it's attempt to dominate Europe in those dark days.
