    May 1941

    May 1941 was a busy month. First Hess flies to England, then the Germans invade Crete, and finally the British chase and sink the Bismarck.

        And the USA wasn't even in the war yet. We often forget that WWII had been going on for -- what, 2 years? -- before Pearl Harbor.

        What's your view of what Rudolf Hess was really up to, Flattop?
        “There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”
        ― W.H. Auden

        "God made the angels to show His splendour - as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But men and women He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of their minds."
        -- Robert Bolt, A Man for All Seasons

        "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
        --Antoine de Saint-Exupery

          Your guess is as good as mine.

          There is some logic in him hoping to avoid a two front war for Germany by persuading Britain to make peace.

              I'll echo ox - cool stuff

              Next month gets even more busy - Operation Barbarossa has its 70 anniversary

              I may be small, but I'm slow.

              A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

                Look forward to all those commemorative parties of "Barbarossa Turns 70" in Belarus and the Ukraine.

                  LOL - and to think the Germans were origanally viewed as liberators
