Bad history knowledge there buddy. Sweden didn’t participate in either World War. Last one wefpught was 1807 against Norway. So literally not my thing.that seems a silly way to see it.

So Adolf felt the German people were short of space that he wanted back so it was a land dispute with a side of extermination of inferior lifeforms.showa58taro wrote:Mainly the reannexation of the Germanic countries.

Re: November 11th 2017
In a manner of speaking, yes. I mean, really there's many parts to this, but none of it was about making Sweden (or France) a part of Germany and making them all speak German.Tiggnutz wrote:So Adolf felt the German people were short of space that he wanted back so it was a land dispute with a side of extermination of inferior lifeforms.showa58taro wrote:Mainly the reannexation of the Germanic countries.

Re: November 11th 2017
Pretty sure there's a lot of stuff around that where Sweden buried their head in the sand to some of it in the 40s, for sure. Some people, as individuals, did a lot to help with resistance movements and smuggling people out of Nazi Germany. But generally, as a neutral we probably did much less than others would have. It's a difficult thing with hindsight to see what was accurately happening.Tiggnutz wrote:And Jews would keep fleeing to new places would Sweden of denied that or would they acknowledge an evil they would need to deal with?

Seb let's get back to the beginning. People fought and died for something and that is worthy of at least 2 minutes of your time to acknowledge it.showa58taro wrote:Pretty sure there's a lot of stuff around that where Sweden buried their head in the sand to some of it in the 40s, for sure.

Re: November 11th 2017
People can take 2 minutes out of their day if they value it. It's not on you or the British government or anyone else to tell me I have to. The 2 minutes means nothing to me. Enforced patriotism is just fascism. I think it's nice enough of me that I don't deliberately go out of my way to offend people about their unproductive 2 minutes.Tiggnutz wrote:Seb let's get back to the beginning.

Re: November 11th 2017
I found Three Fugitives on TV, Martin Short, Nick Nolte.
I had forgotten how much fun some of the old films are. Must've been 20 years since I saw this thing.

Veterans? I have absolutely nothing negative to say about veterans.

I don't think that 2 minutes of mandated time to commemorate a war that was 100 years ago should impact that.
