Rugd1022 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Just came across this on the Pistonheads forum, some very evocative photographs here... http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/ww2.html Family anecdotes about the 1939-45 War loomed large in my childhood even though I grew up in the '70s, I dare say it was just the same for quite a few members on here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Ive only seen the "Before the war" page - disturbing and yet, fascinating! I recommend that all those of a younger generation should study things like this for we forget how these things start, at our peril. Sincerely, John E.

trisonic Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 "Beware of Men Wearing Jodhpurs" sums it up. I urge everybody to read "The Rape of Nanking" to learn the true depths that mankind can sink to. About the Sino-Japanese war. Best, Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if they bother to read the Torygraph and the Wail on a daily basis, it will feel as if WW2 never ended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Those are remarkable pictures. Indeed we must never forget. A wise man once said: "If you can make people believe absurdities you can make them commit atrocities" John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
