Germany still exists today?? Do you mean the end of the Reich, or is this just
another "I'll never forgive the Germans" message from the Kramer archives?

It is the beginning if the end of the war. An important matter to those

of us
who were effected by the war. A matter of no consequence to those who

weren't ,
But I am sure you knew that all along.

ww2 didnt even start yet. 65 years ago would put it at January 16,
1939, and Ike was probably still a Lt. Col. if not Col. probably more
like 61 years ago.
