Very well spoken Erwin. Yes, it's way to easy to "Monday morning quarterback" for the war. It's way too easy for people living in 2007 to judge what was done during the war. You definitely have to understand the mindset at the time, and live through all they lived through.
How many times do we read today about how the allies should have done this and shouldn't have done that, because they are sitting in an easy chair with beer in hand and talking about things they have NO WAY to comprehend. We all have to remember to put ourselves in THEIR shoes first.
