U-110

Jason and I had a rather big argument the other day over the submarine U110.
You're probably wondering what that is so I'll tell you. U110 was this German U-boat with the Enigma machine in it. The skipper tried to scuttle it but it failed and that's how the Allies found the Enigma machine, decoded all the Germans' messages and won the war.
I said, "If they hadn't found U110 and the Enigma, the Germans could have won the war."
Jason said, "Sad."
Sad? SAD?! Do I hear something rather neo-Nazi here? Why would the Germans having a better chance at winning the war be GOOD?!
"You sound like you're supporting the Germans."
"No I'm not!"
"Then why should the Germans losing be sad?"
"I don't know! It's just evening the chances out, I guess?"
Much as I support fair play, I'd rather have the Allies have a better shot at winning the war than the Germans.
"So you would rather the Germans won?"
I think he was getting tired of me asking him because he said very angrily, "YES!" and shut up.
My brother is a NEO NAZI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeez.

~Today in History~
1944: 270 inhabitants of the Greek town of Kleisoura are executed by the Germans.

~Quote of the Day~
Maybe there are 5,000, maybe 10,000 Nazi bastards in their concrete foxholes before the Third Army. Now if Ike stops holding Monty's hand and gives me some supplies, I'll go through the Siegfried Line like shit through a goose.
-George Patton. He's his usual happy vulgar self, I see.
