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?

You're Top Poster: #36  | Very interesting read Mike! It's amazing what all the POWs went through. I have bought a seires of books called "The Shoe Leather Express" published by a former Stalag Luft POW. It tells of the life inside the camp and on the "Death March" during the winter of 1944. And to think that these men were only in their 20's. Thanks again! Andy |
