Greb147 6,809 Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Just to put things in to perspective, Belarus lost over 25% of it's population in WW2. We got off very lightly to those fighting in Eastern Europe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neobliviscaris1776 1,998 Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 It's sad looking back in history with all the lives lost during the war and the aftermath of all that effort for freedom. What a change and shock it must be for those that survived and seeing the country today. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My point is, why do we need reminded all the time. Watch any film from the time and you can clearly see these tiny isles managed to endure the biggest conflagration in the history of man kind and walk out the other side victorious and civilised with absolutely zero input from these people in our society........fast forward 75 years and we are in shit order.......and there’s a massive common denominator. I don’t think anyone can seriously argue that these people have improved and enriched our native British society and how we behave in that space of time......quiet the opposite in fact. Hence, why do we need to keep being told what a “great” contribution they made ? They fought in the war, bravely, millions of men did.......and ? "and" id never question the merit of anybody,black,white,yellow or purple,that fought so that pricks now can enjoy the luxury of owning an opinion and posting verbal bile. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only person that has mentioned hating anyone is you, in case you hadn’t noticed You seem very confused, go away and have a think about where you do stand on things then make comment, probably be better.

Came home and moved on with his life . Some man I was always told my grandad was a desert rat (he died when i was a baby), ive been doing my family tree & his self and his ancestors are the main ones I dont have much info on. Was the desert rats just the The 7th Armoured Division? As I found someone with my grandads name enlisted in the Queen's Royal, I cant say it is my grandad though as my dad died a few weeks ago, & no one else around in that side of the fam. I remember seeing medals & my dear aul Nan telling me they were my grandads. Would be nice to find a bit more info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Forgive my ignorance but why would you want to " remember " people that were trying to kill your dad/grandad/countrymen ? Is it one of them clap both teams off at the end of a game kind of things ? 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
