Its good to remember what happened, all those brave men and women ,who for what ever reason, went off and fought and in some cases died.

It is equally valid to consider why they did it – what were the reasons.

I often look it from the other side, in WW1 were the german little people, the lowly ranked solders, sailors and airmen evil as was painted by the powers that be.

One of the rules in war is to paint the opposition forces and their supporters as demons. That way hate becomes the motivating force – the “Dreaded HUN”

I think we owe it to the memory of the little people to look at all sides of the arguement, we respect these little people for the positive thinks they did. We do not have to respect or honour leaders and those in power who did things for reasons that were less than honourable.
