Well posted I think. You want a good WWII reporting on history then check this out....

Sadly, I think one needs to be a paid subscriber to read it all, but the battle of stalingrad speaks to the present day in my mind - it is a battle one at a time - from one house to the next.

ps - if you want to read the story, then get a hold me and I'll share, but better yet subscribe to Big Serge and see the wisdom presented there - just like here.

Great article! Thank you. I'm currently 3/4 of the way through, but need to go to bed!

Of course my article isn't really about about WW2, but ethics. ;-)

not directly on topic but since you mentioned polio, are you aware its likely a fraud and probably toxic poisoning? check out 'the moth in the iron lung' by forrest maready

im glad to know my ethics are intact and i wasnt a nazi. when i was about 12 (late 80s) my mother had a german student stay with us for a few weeks, the lad was about 18 and before he went home he felt the need to apologise to me for his grand parents behaviour during the war. i cant describe how i felt at this, it was stupid to me, neither of us were alive!

Polio - yes, quite right. I've got "The Moth ...". Or was it from Suzanne Humphries I learned it? Either way it was about the same time, only a few years ago.

Ethics: that's revealing - both your ethics and his upbringing.
