hitler called off the attacks on the beaches.he thought we had suffered enough and would join him in his quest.Skashion said:But they weren't useless, there was a sizeable Royal Navy presence in Scapa Flow which were made use of during a run-through of Operation Sea Lion about thirty years after the war during war games. Indeed, they were responsible for the defeat of the invasion. Unfortunately though, that simulation assumed that Germany had not won total air superiority as at Dunkirk. You are wrong though to say that the Royal Navy was not involved at Dunkirk. It most certainly was, and accounted for the vast majority of the evacuation. The spirit of Dunkirk is mostly propaganda.

Nah Ched.., a manipulation of the highest order, he was'nt meant to win the war so did'nt, the hidden hand was fully at work back then, and still is to this day and always will be. Its all a fit up Guvnor. As for good 'ol Winnie, he was in on the whole charade and people actualy believe that he written THOSE speeches. Deluded and brainwashed spring to mind. (not you btw Ched.) :)

What does war bring apart from devastation and heartache?
Bombo said:All wars are about freedom and power. The people want freedom the goverments crave power. Wether you study WWII, middle east, African civil war or the American war of independence there is the oppressed and an oppresser. The war on famine, terror and disease is just the same.
As marvin Gaye said 'war is not the answer'.
Every war creates a millionaire and 10,000 martyrs think about that. Schindlers list is speilbergs ironic take on this philosophical principal. The ultimate juxtaposistion.

What i ment, was as the years go on, last survivors are going, first hand storys are not going to be able to be passed on, other wars are taking other headlines, but time will tell.
