i agree very much with the europe / america thing.

ie- giant film about the bombing of one single harbour,

pretty much sweet F.A. about pretty much every city in the uk, and many other european countries being bombed to rubble, countries brought to their knees, the development of so much technology, coding, rationing, special projects,

(insert comment about the bullshit movie called U-571 and the enigma machine - i live a few miles away from the camp in which they built the first computer and spent a very long time cracking the codes of the enigma machine)

mostly what we have are memorials, stone buildings with plaques on them with names, and once a year, on the 11th of the 11th, a parade for the veterans, and a minutes silence to reflect. with poppies being sold and worn in aid of veteran charities to support the familes and individuals affected over the years of the wars.

but hell, that's just the way we are. bombs go off nearly every day in london, they have always done so. spose its just the stiff upper lip.
