It is a shame, I know ignorant people who have stated they would never take a trip or go see Germany. They seem to think that all Germans are evil Nazis. They dont realize the war has been over for 60 years and that only a small number of Germans were actually Nazis.
 
/me gets botix injected
I wanna be able to look surprised when Bush blows up the world.
 
Well this has been a great dissscusion so far.

Well I dont "like" any war, I do agree that WW2 was the last interesting war fighting wise. I love hearing about the great battles like the Battle of Britain, Battle of the Bulge, Market Garden, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, D-Day, etc/

Same as, i love hearing tales from my great uncle/ grandad (well did, he died this year:( i miss him) and grandpa about the war.
Also i think thats why i buy all the WW2 games...there really interesting.
And anyway, as a qoute i read sumwhere, but i forget who said it 'those who ignore the past, are bound to repeat it', these games help us remeber what WW2 was like..i certainly aint up for startin another war...not from what i've seen of the last big war
 
See Dark. thats the problem with the human race, we never learn from our past mistakes.
 
Yea I to saw that quote before "those who ignore the past are deemed to repeat it" i think that was by some greek philsopher(a guess)
 
I think the german people are brilliant, especially the music, i want to go to germany sometime, would be really cool
 
@bass comment
True, or its a case of those who do learn from the past arent the ones with the power....
 
Same here. German engineering is pretty impressive. I really like Heckler & Koch's weapons.
 
Hey maybe Dark maybe me and you can go to Germany together.....but you would have to pay for the plane tickets and hotel.
 
I fully intend to go to Germany some day. I find German architechture from around the WW2 era to be beautiful
 
Ha ha, sounds like a plan....but i'm broke.....

/me looks at tredo
 
Someday I want to get a fast car and go up to 200mph down the autobahn!!!VRRRROOOOMMMM!!!!
 
I like the idea of being around a new culture..when i went to france, it was so amazing to see this whole new culture, when I'd lived all my life in a british culture, it expands the mind and is interesting
 
BMW, VW, and(insert German Car brand here) are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Britain is also a place I must go to. Germany, Britain, France, and Russia are all places I want to see. Id also like to see the War Memorial in Washington.

Hmm, it talks like a Canadian, acts like a Canadian, says it's a Canadian-IT MUST BE AN AMERICAN!
 
I like canada.....but i must admit, i do love the south park impression of canadians, i mean i love the country..has excellent forests and such, but south park is so damn funny...also there impression of british people is hilarious
 
I think Canadian war efforts are always grossly overlooked. Now one seems to have even heard of the Battle of Vimy Ridge or the Battle of Ypres.
 
The battle of the what ridge?! lol

Yes, Americans have their sterotypes of Canadians as much as Canadians have their stereotypes of Americans. Haha, all I can say is we make quite a 1-2 punch. You guys have the people and power, we have the respect and land.
 
Im british...we dont have as much people or power as canada and america :( lol

heres a snippet I copyed and pasted :

The battle of Vimy Ridge is one of the greatest battles in Canada’s history. For the first time in the Great War, all four Canadian divisions fought together on the same battlefield. Canadian valour and bravery brought about a fantastic victory, not only for Canadians but for the entire Allied force. Vimy Ridge was a formidable barrier for the Allies to breach. A natural hill and barren slope provided little cover for attacking troops and gave a good vantage point for fortified machine guns and artillery to fire on invaders. The Germans had built their own fortifications consisting of three layers of trenches, barbed wire, deep tunnels into the hill, and a light railroad to carry supplies to the front.

The Allied strategy was well thought out and extensive preparations were made. Lessons learned earlier in the war were used to develop an effective battle plan. Engineers built elaborate tunnels deep under enemy lines, a light railroad was constructed and defended, and heavy artillery was brought aid in the battle. The troops trained on sites behind the front on terrain very similar to that on which they would be fighting.

On April 2, 1917, artillery bombardment was stepped up to wear down enemy soldiers. Before the battle began, more than one million shells had been fired into German trenches. Early in the morning of April 9, 20,000 soldiers attacked in the first wave of fighting in the battle of Vimy Ridge. The Canadians were extremely successful and took the ridge by afternoon. In the next days they achieved all of their objectives.

Vimy Ridge proved to be a turning point in World War I. Canadians were an important part of this epic battle. They fought exceptionally and were awarded four Victoria Crosses for that single battle. The Victoria Cross is Canada's highest award fopr bravery. The entire Canadian contingent was commended as being an elite fighting Corps.
