I was just at "Big W" and they had a series of documentary DVDs for sale relating to WWII and the likes. I picked up 'Nagasaki/Hiroshima', 'Divide and Conquer' (the war in Europe) and 'The Korean War'.

I haven't watched them and can't vouch for the content, but they were only $5 each. Worth a bet I'd say.

Cheers

Off to Epping to see what they have got left! Hope Victoria is the same as NSW.

Cheers

Geoff

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts? Check out this site:
