my teahcer told us plain and simple. We had a German foreign exchange sutdent in our class that had never heard of the Concentration camps. My teacher told her "Well you see, Hitler was a mass murdering F*$k head." I think he is right.

Dear all,

The Nazis had thousands of people working on projects which some crackpot thought up and which Himmler or Hitler had approved.

They had people working on stuff to prove that the ' Spear of Longinus ' was exant and was available for use as a 'magic' weapon which could be employed by the Nazi war machine.

The Nazis had a habit of of leaving no crackpot idea unturned and because of the way the Nazi regime operated any old job which required the compilation of lists required dozens of wee nazis working away in obscure offices to serve one purpose only...to keep the slimy little creeps away from the bullets!

The 'Plans' which you refer to regarding the disposition of the British Empire and all its prominent personalities is the result of teams of Nazis working on the pipe dreams of Hitler ( yes, I know he didn't smoke ) and clicking their heels to the tune of ' I've got der best plan for der F***er'.

Compare this to the British High Command's plan to invade the continent of Europe, assuming no intervention from a neutral USA, which had to be scheduled for 1957!

Regimes which are out of control and led by crackpots dream up plans for every contingency ( which every good government should also do ) but they also ride the crestwave of their corrupt socio-political theories and in forwarding this dogma, they create the madness of the Gulags and Concentration camps. The 20th century..OUR CENTURY..is littered with military-political ghouls who 'knew' that they had the answer to the future.

The Nazi state, although they got a few things right as far as the prosecution of the war was concerned and which was based on previous experience, contained the seeds of its own destruction. Any state which seeks to dominate, but which also purports itself to be superior, may whistle its own tune for a while but will ultimately collapse upon itself into the hollowness of its empty dogma.

The Nazis went to war on Hitler's say-so. The German people were not unwilling to do this after being fed a constant diet of how wonderful they were. They danced a merry dance up the the Battle of Britain at which point they discovered that they had been out-thought and realised that they had been outfought. This is the turning point for the Nazis. This is the place where they re-enter the fantasy land which Hitler had created for them. Their regime could not brook defeat.

This is also the point where revisionist historians slide under the door to pick up the threads of propaganda frozen in the literature of Nazi Germany.

Britain fought alone till Germany attacked Russia. It teetered several times in the wake of defeat, but it never wavered in its resolve to beat the Nazi menace. The RN and the RAF would have crushed any attempt at invasion.

Any plans which the Nazis had for Britain, based on the false premise that they could beat Britain to her knees with the weapons which they had at their disposal and turn on Russia at the same time demonstrates how crazy Hitler was and how stupid and puffed-up the German people were to be carried along in his coat-tails.

Hitler would have saved everyone alot of time and effort if he had just killed himself in 1938.

Seems pretty simple to me. Germans build up invasion force on French Coast, Luftwaffe attacks England, Fighter Command defeats Luftwaffe, invasion force disbands and heads East to their eventual destruction...ergo, Fighter Command saves England.

Not to mention the Battler Britton factor!Never any doubt as to the outcome!

How could I have forgotten Battler

New issue should be out soon.

I don't remember 'Battler Britton'..he must have come after I stopped reading comics.

I do remember ' Paddy Payne ' who was the mainstay pilot of the 'Lion'. I loved that comic strip because Paddy epitomised everything which shoolboys of my youth believed in:

• fair play
• no women near any aspect of war
• Germans were foul cheats
• never shoot a man when he's down
• our Spits were superior to everything in the air
• etc. ......

Too bad we have to grow up.

" Achtung, Spitfuer! Arghhhhhhhhhhh!

" Got 'im, Tubby. Home for tea. Over and out, Digger."

FOUND IT !!!!! After much searching in the loft among about maybe 120 books in various boxes here it is,,,,,,,,, IMHO the best book written so far on the Battle of Britain. It is called THE MOST DANGEROUS ENEMY, It is written by Stephen Bungay. Paperback version published in 2001. by Aurum Press Ltd. A very small number of errors can be found but on the whole a very well researched piece of work that probably will never be matched. Even the Times liked it!! So happy reading folks.
