Thanks for the kind words, mate.

The synopsis sounds quite interesting, especially about the Soviet Union's planned invasion of Germany.

With IMF, whether most of them like it or most them hate it, I still win. It's just more views on my blog.

BTW, I'll be switching over to Wordpress pretty soon, in accordance with the poll results.

I disagree with you on "WW2: Why We Didn't Really Win". It was reasonable for the British to treat Hitler's peace offers as phony. They weren't, but he had such a bad record that they couldn't trust him.

What's really baffling is how this victorious generation returned to their homes and within 20 years, 1945 to 1965, the year of the (Hart-Celler) Immigration and Nationality Act they had allowed their posterity to be placed in a situation that tended to their destruction and has so far proved to hard to escape from.

The generation that was victorious in war in their 20s but let the future slip away in their 40s when their social power ought to have been at its peak doesn't deserve to be called "the Greatest Generation".

This is true, Daybreaker. But one must also remember that the real push for a war between Germany and England came from Churchill, and it was exceedingly obvious to Hitler or anyone in Europe but Churchill that such a war should be avoided at all costs, and that a English campaign would be unwinnable and extremely costly. The essential chaos of these two planet smashers connecting fists would be anathema for all in Europe, as it showed to be.

You're right on the "Greatest" generation. In particular, it seemed to be the White middle class that really allowed their descendant's land and future to slip away, purely for the sake of short-term prosperity and comfort.

A school building was fenced off with barbed wire in Espoo, Finland in 1908. Swedish C.G. Avellan fenced off school buildings with barbed wire, in order to ban children the access to a school.

The Swedish government was responsible for the most iron ore the Nazis received. Kiruna-Gällivare ore fields in Northern Sweden were all important to Nazi Germany.

These massive deliveries of iron ore and military facilities from Sweden to Nazi Germany lengthened World War II. Casualties of the war have been estimated at 20 million killed in Europe. How many of them died due to Sweden's material support to Nazi Germany, is not known.
