Hello Terry,
Thanks for your response, and sorry for late reply.
Tell me, how do you decide what really happened if you feel you cannot rely on the evidence we have?
If I read the first fifteen posts in this thread, I come to the conclusion, that ljadw and you have to explain,
why you decided what really happened and what was false (. . . and not me)
What criterion do you use for discarding or accepting evidence as valid or fake?
I am sure; everybody agrees that History was made everytime only by the winners! Furthermore a fact is,
that, among other nations, Belgium and Great Britain have been the winners. Maybe I am not wrong with
the assumption that you both are citizens from these winner nations. In this thread I find efforts to prove
that only the loser of this war been guilty. I haven’t mentioned that the sources are wrong, but I would say:
If you want to find evidence for your view; - you will find enough!
These circumstances could have influence in the objectivity. (I am honestly enough; in my too; as German)
But, sorry; I didn’t want to start a new discussion, because there are enough long and interesting threads
in this Forum with different view-points and exactly the same background. My comments are directed only
against all one unbalanced perspectives and national motivated narrow-mindedness.
Cheers, Holger Kotthaus
