  Yep...never forget those that have sacrificed so much and continue to do so to give us freedom.

  Definately a different time for military back then. I appriciate and respect what all of our armed forces do, no matter how much I may disagree with the government decisions that use them as pawns in a global chess game. As far as us speaking Deutsch? By late '41 when Pearl Harbor happened the Brits had already thwarted off the greatest attacks the Luftwaffe could throw at them, and the Red Army had already turned the tide in the East. Germany had 2 chances to possibly win the war, but those were lost by allowing the Brits to escape Dunkirk and the failure to seize Moscow before the winter of '41.  It was just a matter of time at that point, but I digress.

  Germany made one mistake...they were allied with Russia at one time...we were losing the war but Germany got greedy and turned on Russia a little to quick....if Germany and russia stayed allies to till end I believe in my heart the world would be a much different place
