This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

<HTML>Good morning (here)!
Your English is fine; my German needs work. Even after a course-from-hell on "Contemporary Germany" (charming slavedriver is still a slavedriver)I forgot to allow for the differences between East and West German thinking on the subject of the war. and, of course, it's always a great oversimplification to say "The people of such-and-such a country believe so-and-so," as if the populace consisted merely of clones. Sorry! Especially since my own country seems to be mutating into a fascistic, totalitarian system complete with Big Brother and the Thought Police à la 1984, I should pay more attention.
Once I had a professor who had written the textbook for the course. His method of lecturing was to stand at the podium and read aloud to us from his own book. This was bad enough, but he was a very dull, monotonous reader. It was a great way to catch up on sleep!
In one sense of the word, I believe everyone c a n be a hero just by living according to his/her own principles in spite of circumstances. But then, I'm a naive idealist.
Best regards from soggy California,
