my class was doing a video and we were all meant to say "hello" in a diffrent language, someone picked german and made a hitler mustache while the teachers back was turned and said "If I am going to speak german I am going to atleast look german", everyone thought this was very funny.

cheers,

Haha that's funny but the thing I hate is that when people think of Germany they always refer to Hitler y not think of something else like Frederick the great or something

Thats what I hate too. Almost everyone at my school thinks ALL who fought for Germany during World War 2 was evil. And the same goes with video games that portray axis forces as evil or animals. They are dishonoring those who gave their lives that we would live in peace today.

I love history. But back (way way back) when I was in school I hated my history classes.
They were absolutely boring. Looking back I think this was do to the poor quality teachers.

This was in the early 70s and communism was the big fear in the US. So my history
class hardly touched at all on ww2 but we would spend weeks discussing the the
Bolshevik revolution and the Russian 5 year plans.

History should taught as the facts and not tilted towards one's political
views. But we know that will never happen.

Exactly I think the only that did not do that was medal of honor cause I played the whole ww2 series and they never said one thing like Nazi pigs or some thing like that

**Ryan B** · 10-07-2011, 03:24 PM

That is exactly true its always going to be one side of the story

This is pretty much what I borrow from the local library every week. Mostly Finland related books, but anything World War 2 related that my eye catches is good for me. The book "Aseveljet" will be an interesting read, it is about the alliance between Finland and Germany 1942-1944. The weapon book has some interesting things about World War 2 weapons too, and a nice comparison page between Mausers from different countries! And that is a relatively small amount of books. Last week I borrowed 11 books! The libraryman behind the counter literally had his eyes round as a football!
