Donal,
Can't you even read with with an open mind? I know they were on our side
when the USA joined the ALLIES

Now, Donal, where they Allies when Germany invaded Poland? Where they
Allies when they.invaded Finland? Why don't you tell the group when they
became Allies? Tell us the date so that you can remember.

I know they became an Ally before the USA got in the war. We lost a load
of Merchant Seaman delivering Lend Lease goods to them. They were
fighting the Germans with a lot of American Equipment while they moved
their manufacturing facilities East of the Ural Mountains, out of the
range of German bombers

If you remember I said Stalin wanted the second front at the meeting in
Potsdam (Normandy) was how I printed it

If you were paying any attention to what you were reading, rather than
hunting for an opening for "BAITING" you would have read I listed the
Cold War as another story. I've taken up enough time from the Group
already. It time to give up the floor
I'll save the beginning of the Cold War for another session.

I think you and "The Oz" and Peter and Nav have been blunted enough
about Europe's status during WW2. The "Wall", Eastern Europe and Free
Europe can be told later,
It Is a rather long story

Go crawl into the Pub and have a Stout for me
