Elamain, are you sure?

You've got the Forum name wrong!
How do you spell El Alamein???
I know it's WW2 For Beginners but that isn't very good is it?

I don't know about everyone else, but bad spelling annoys me. I am guilty as are most however if any one sees any errors, let us know.

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.)
