Any ism you got to be carefull.Unfortenaly people are easily led by people who know better.
Qute a few years ago now driving in Holland taking our son Jan .I left my papers driving licence etc in a petrol station.After driving a about ten miles I realised what i had done and stopped at a police station who traced the petrol station who found the papers and kept them for me.(I was lucky).I picked the papers up the next day at the owners house I forgot the village name.His wife told me that nearly all the young men where shot as a reprisal messure in WW2.
Regarding the convoys to Murmanks I often think saylors are forgotting who lost their lives and they should be mentioned more.It must have been hell on a cargo ship waiting to be shot and knowing you wouldn't survive five minutes in the cold sea.
If people are offended so be it my old man try to get out of hook of holland when the war started the ship got captured and he ended up speaking perfect german till the war finished.
