Re: Privacy of a Trrrst?
"nothing to do with privacy or freedom,"
If you had said that to my father when he was alive, he would have called you a twat and possibly have given you a slap.
He lied about his age and faked his work documents to show he was 2 years older than he was, so that he could join the RAF to fight as he was concerned about the German threat to his freedom and that of Europe and the World, his father who also fought in the first war also joined up immediately as did his 3 brothers, all for the same reasons.
The Nazis were a totalitarian government who would brook no disagreement or criticism of their beliefs and government. As such privacy was as much at risk as liberty.
You are however partly right in my opinion as the older I get the more I think the US looked upon WWII as a business oppurtunity at least as much as a fight for their freedom, for the rest of us it was very much an Idealistic war
