insulting, disrespectful & condescending remark

REALLY BILL? Surely you have a thicker skin than to be insulted by a light hearted comment. If it hurt you so much you could have just asked for it to be removed.

@Historyman

It was a light hearted comment regarding how many of the letters and characters seem to be, to the English language, the opposite way around.

It might have been over the heads of some people but I don't think it deserved a negative reputation mark

I have to agree!-One of the reasons I rarely post on this forum is because there is a certain faction who seem to get offended rather easily.

Interesting

So this would have been issued just prior to the Kursk Offensive and the Soviet Summer Offensives from July 43 onwards, Olevsk is north west of Kiev and would have come under control of Hoths 4th Army...
