I just want to say that I think we all need to learn to let others have their own opinions on this matter. I don't have any problems with Stern and others holding different views from my own so long as they allow me the same freedom.

Also, holding the view that Britain actually did achieve something important in the BOB doesn't at all imply that many of us here think Britain won the war single-handedly or possessed overall superior military prowess to the other nations involved. By most reckoning Germany had the most formidable armed forces in terms of quality of equipment, leadership, tactics, etc.

Anyway things got a little out of hand in this thread. Hopefully the patch may appear today and we can all get back to the game.

Absolutely. I have no problem with any of you guys either on the matter, I respect your opinion and see your point of view, I'm not in total denial!
I suppose I'm a bit scared by how we manage to justify our atrocities "for the sake of the greater good", but firmly condemn other when they do it.

There's no perfection in this world, no absolute good and bad, that's what prompts my attitude towards assessment of historical events, it really has nothing to do with nationalism.

The thread has dangerously derailed more than once, but I'm surprised how far we got with this "hot topic" without getting banned/flamed/stabbed
