So very excellent. I lived in Germany for 3 years. The winters there are miserable. I'm not sure that they actually invaded France in 1940 or simply all decided to go to the beach at the same time. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation." Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II. | |||

Why did the French plant trees on both sides of the road? So the Germans could march in the shade. | |||

I know there are lots of jokes about the French but what they did in WWI and the casualties they faced it amazing they assembled any kind of army for WW2. In some battles the loses in the first hour, were more than we lost the entire Vietnam war. Losing 1.4 million men probably doesn't leave much in the way of a fighting spirit. Germany on the other hand got punished so badly they were left feeling like there was unfinished business. ------------------------------ Smart is not something you are but something you get.

Some Historians write the beginning of WWII began in the final days of the Treaty of Versailles. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

That is a funny joke. I told my wife, and she understood it! I'm impressed. "Ride to the sound of the big guns." | |||

General Foch, at the signing of the Treaty of Versalles, was quoted as saying: "This is not a peace. It is an armistice for twenty years." He was right almost to the day. | |||

Bon mot! Last time that I heard that one was about 37 years in the town of Rinteln, FRG! "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye". The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, pilot and author, lost on mission, July 1944, Med Theatre. | |||
