I think you should most definetly post something so significant, Darren. I'm glad you did. Learning is fun, especially when it concerns other Countries and Nationalities. Perspective is a good thing. 
Eric, if you would like to be ruled by a German, you should have grown up in my household. My Father is very strict, and abrasive as well. He is more like Heinrich Himmler than Adolph Hitler though. Yikes!
My Father gave me my late Uncle Fritz's World War II Veterans ring, it's probably my most cherished possession. It's made from sterling silver. He was also a POW during the forgotten Korean War and tasted the butt of a rifle several times while in captivity. It's especially sad when "brother kills brother" during these major conflicts. That's why I hate politics so much, "fat cats" in suits with their agendas, never fighting themselves, only to lead and command others, who die in the process and for what, in many cases. Ok, I'll stop now. I'm not advocating that these wars are unnecessary at all, I'm just frustrated when people kill other people is all..
