I wonder which occupation zone Martin was in?

He may be bi-lingual and speak Russian also? If he grew up under the
Russians of that era I can understand where he is coming from.

I wonder why those who now enjoy the benefits of the US getting Into
the European phase of WWII and providing the hardware and majority of
manpower after Dunkirk and the surrender of France, have such a hard
time giving us credit.

I'm wondering if Martin feels he would have the lifestyle he has today
if Austria had continued to be occupied by Germany?

On the US remembrance of Pearl Harbor. It is none of anyone else's
business. It happened to us and our blood was spilled and we can give
remembrances as we see fit.

All that being said, I wish the H..... A..'s would just shut up and
step out of the picture. It's our date of remembrance, not theirs.


Big John

You get one more shot. I'm getting pretty close to the
end..................

Would have thought those in Europe would remember as it lead to the US
getting involved in the European conflict and helping to defeat
Germany, Italy, etc.

How short the memory. You probably would have been speaking German.


Big John your are a grade 1Asshole - Martin already speaks German, he is
Austrian.

The date of the attack on Pearl Harbour is not in grained on the minds of
Europeans. Lets face it we do not commemorate when the war started
(depending on which country you are from it started on different dates
anyway). The second world war did not start on 7 th December 1941. That was
only the date the Japanese gave the US an invitation to join the war they
could not refuse.
