well i figured war in Russia would come out on top!! poor Pacific theater

 

Yes but hold on a minute - 9 votes out of 401 members !
That's like a British General Election turnout.....

 

I'm with ya Ron, Go Pacific.

 

I think the war in Russia will take the cake in the long end run...... Oh well.

E

 

Do I even have to type my fav here? of course its the Eastern Front.

Now...OFF to the Russian Front for you Martin and Steve!

Martin--your going to Stalingrad--Steve--your going to Pinsk.

 

But I dont want to go to Pinsk.

 

OK, ill send you to the Orel Bridgehead instead.

 

So long as I can go there in a Mosquito FBVI....

 

Can I go home instead? My next stop will be Afghanistan anyways so I might as well go to where ever it was that you are sending me.

 

Martin--just make sure you duck into some cloud cover if you see a fighter with a Black Tulip painted on its nose and a red heart on the side of the fusilage.

Steve, in that case--if your going to Afganistan--you can go on a months leave on the Frainch Riviera.

 

You can have the Frainch and their riviera. I should be in Iraq or Afghanistan by May.

 

Id rather take leave in Laboe of Wilhelmshaven--both are excellent places to spend time at.

Hope your orders for Afganistan get cancelled--so you can go on to Germany.

 

I was supposed to go to Kaiserslautern. I hear its quite nice.

 

Not to rub anything in but, Kaiserslautern is very nice. One of the U 181 vets im friends with lives near there. Mayby and hopefully--you will still get transferred to Deutschland. I found Germany especially nice and refreshing this time of the year.

 

Thanks for not rubbing it in.

 

No problem I wonder though, if the military will allow you to wear the Silver close combat spange on your tunic in Germany.

 

Well, I certainly did not vote for the Pacific nor the Air war because I am not interested, because I don't know much about it... But I have learnt and will learn more with guys like you!

I think who has chosen the Eastern front too?

Well, at least we don't have many ignorants who still think that WWII was ONLY D-day...

 

*bump*

 

I chose war in western Europe and war in Russia. The ground war interests me more than air and sea war. The russian campaign attract because of the great battles and ideological theme. The western campaign was in my backyard so that's of interest also. My grandfahter fought against the germans in 1940. He even got wounded and I have the piece of grenade that took out of his neck and the commemmorative medal for the fighting.
