It was also in the form of a question, not a grand statement of fact. We all certainly know you've written books (and I've thoroughly enjoyed them) and that you are an expert. I don't trust wikipedia for much of anything and was basing some of my thoughts on family members of mine who lived in that era, fought in that war, and came back with those stories and souvenirs. Sorry, next time, I'll leave it to the experts. [ Edited by: Mr. Pupu Pants 2009-01-23 14:34 ]
