    I like Peter, Paul & Mary's version of Whiskey in the Jar myself Ranger6. On their album that track was titled Gilgarry Mountain though.

    I should be careful with that annalogy A58, America never had our permission either...They just did it and Thatchers response is quoted in her own biography.
    Hey, I was just pointing out my theory of the roots of American anti-French bashing here. I thought that you didn't like Ms. Thatcher anyway....

    "Fascist ideology governed by the Nazi regime? Sorry Mrs. T, that would be a left turn at France, then keep going until you reach 1930's Germany!" :D

    I dont, but history doesnt allow us to ignore her.

    Good post James, agree mostly. Personal on the how you treat folk subject though. My own old man would never have good words for any Uboat crewman. Thats the personal part of war I suppose. It didnt help that they were trying to kill him I suppose.

    I remember recently a RAF BOB pilot perhaps others know his name, I forget, died few months ago, maybe Bob Doe? He stated himself on the personal side, he had no liking for Germans, they were flying over England killing his people and trying to kill him. Thats war. You dont have to like the enemy or even forgive.

    Todays Germany is not yesterdays Germany, and certainly as you say and I've said many times on other forum with Kruska...Germans fought tooth and nail against Nazis themselves. I dont suppose if was much fun being a lefty in Pre war Germany.

    Many of us here have had cause to serve and live in Germany, loved it, loved its people. No animosity whatsoever. I do though understand vets point of view too as you obviously do.

    A watch must be kept though for the nazi lovers, they still exist, and no matter what anyone says, I can never see a vetrans SS parade in Melbourne or Liverpool being welcomed by anyone. Some on other forums may be stupid enough or just plain immature but this forum I believe can handle this sort of thing.

    What about Russian Vets, they take some stick on history forums everywhere unfortunately. And we see little of them here too? I'd hate to be a Russian vet trying to put my version of events on some forums too.

    Unfortunately the Cold War started so soon after the end of the Second and continued for so long that it still colors people's views on the war in the East. It can be very hard to talk about the Soviet side of the GPW without being accused of trying to gloss over the atrocities committed by the Soviet regime as a lot of posters on other forums tend to do. In fact I have seen people talk almost in glowing references about the Wehrmacht because they still look on the Soviets as those "Commies".
