Well the British have had a German on their throne for the past 300 years so I guess Germany has taken control of Britain.

If Hillary wins you want to move to one of two significantly more socialist countries? Well done sir !?!

By the way Shem (and I don't mean this to be insulting . . . honest), everyone fought back then. As far as Winston Churchill was concerned the fate of civilization was at steak. Thank God we never had to find out.

I'm loving this post already.

Guerilla warfare. That was the plan, and my grandfather on my mother's side would have been one of the people in charge of said resistance.

Dunno really. At the time, I'd have fought in any way possible, although more likely from an army. Now, it would depend on how they treated the population. If everyone were just treated like it was another part of Germany I probably wouldn't be that bothered, but if they had concentration camps, arrested/killed activists etc I would fight, presumably guerilla style.

One of my great grand-dads didnt fight, guess he doesn't count.

The other one was blown up in vehichle of some sort where he was the only survivor of the 6 in there, this was at dunkirk.

Neither of them did all that much during the war...

Never give in, ever, forever ever, forever ever.  I don't like the language, I mean Germans can be nice and all that but, who like relish, cause I don't.

If I was British, I would fight a guerilla war, since a conventional war would likely fail (since Germany won the Battle of Britain). Those who would abandon 'king and country' and embrace the Nazi's should die or move to GER now, imho.

Nice poll CameronPoe, I usually find my self on the opposite end of anything w/ you, but well done. this time

Either way, we can be sure the Netherlands didn't win it for us.

Warum nicht? Wir haben früher entschieden, das deutsh eine schöne Sprache ist.

However, where do ya get relish from? I would guess that you wouldn't like sauerkraut or something but relish is just like pickles...

That actually IS how Germany itself was treated.

To fight does not mean to bare arms in conflict . . . . If you ask someone who would know (one of your grandparents or an uncle perhaps) I would be willing to wager that even your great-grand-dad sacrificed during that time. It was a very unique time in human history. Almost everyone was for or against something. Those who lived in countries like Germany and Great Briton had no choice but to pick sides. A lot of people in the US "fought" by donating nylon stockings, buying war bonds, and growing victory gardens.

Eine schöne Sprache
feminine word thus an agreement in the pronoun.
Sorry... I love German - especially the Swiss version of it!

Well at least I am now sure that at least one person actually reads my posts. As for Swiss version, though, I can't understand a word of it
