EXACTLY!! Passing judgment from the perspective of the safety of one's living room arm-chair seven decades withdrawn and applying values and standards of conduct we expect from Boy Scouts parading through the town square? Well, that is just simply so far out of touch with the reality of the situation that it makes the whole argument irrelevant and moot.
But the author will sell books and collect a royalty check. So I guess it's OK. And Oh, BTW the generation that liberated Europe has mostly passed so who's to argue the point?.
Let's just spin History to fit the social and political agenda. Damn this is really pissing me off!
I better shut-up - rant off.
