Leuverkeusen or however you spell it was typically German - all concrete and plate glass and no soul whatsover.
And the Germans will be free of the taint of nazism when the last person alive in that era is dead. Not a moment before.
You have to remember that they voted for Hitler - he did not seize power.
They'd vore for him again if they had the chance. Really they would.

Care to guess what happened to all those places to make them so grim?
Yes that's right - it's those happy funsters the Germans. They are a hoot aren't they? Cheeky little scamps. Scamps with camps.

>they voted for Hitler
Wrong, you need to lean your history. Those election results are still available today.
Just that those english that enslaved the world, esp. those that were too poor to fight back and forced everyone of them to learn their bloody language, were the beacon of freedom
. Be subject to the queen or die. I do like that motto.
At least you won't starve in London today, there will always be some nice indian restaurants.

Ever hear about Mad Bomber Bob or whatever that English bloke's name was that unleashed some many bombs on a Dresden that had practically no military value and was full of refugees as well as POWs like Kurt V
This was simply a war crime sanctioned by mad whoever as payback for Coventry, which did have much military value.
let's let the slugging and name calling continue:

Don't be a prick. Dresden was a perfectly fair military target.
In any case we had no desire to flatten german cities. They pushed us into it by invading poland and electing hitler.
They'd do it again tomorrow if we let 'em.
ps the BRITISH "enslaved the world"? Funny but when I went to those holiday camps you lot built in Poland I didn't see a lot of British influence.
Perhaps I was looking in the wrong places.

Since Queenie is half-German and half-English and half-xxxxx she should be the perfect bridge between the two cultures/countries.
God Save the Queen
and the monarchy for which it stands - once enslaving the whole world practically and putting lots of money in royal coffers, where it remains and in her personal art collection, looted from nations all around the world.

Children, children - stop arguing! - from someone whose 2xGreat -Grandparents were German, another of set great greats were Irish, Grandparents were English...and my country has Boxing Day as a stat holiday - but public transport runs on Xmas and Boxing Day. What about New Year's Day - are there services that day?
So if you don't have a car and you want (or are expected) to spend Christmas with family you have to travel to them on Christmas Eve and stay till at least the 27th? Geez, I'd have to stay at my elderly mothers - I'd rather stay home alone.

We like arguing, esp. when those British royals that conquered the world export their wicked kids to govern Germany (like Willy II emperor of Germany) and then blame the Germans for way they're governed.
Otoh, you never hear a bad word about this thug, coming from England.

If Hitler had paid attention to his H-bomb program enough to know that pushing that was the way to win the war
then CW would be Sprechting the Deutsche, yah?
Queen would be the same, just speaking German.

<<< Friends in London now report that they've read plenty of criticism in the papers and on TV about the virtually lack in trains running in Britain on Boxing day >>>
Very little actually - perhaps it was all in London

Eh? Have you been sharing PQ's paint?
Queen Victoria (neither she nor her husband was Prussian, BTW) might have had a naive hope that her daughter could somehow civilize the Hohenzollerns, but whatever choices Germany made about its government, it made on its own. As was recognized by all those Brits who wanted to hang the Kaiser at the end of WW2.
>>Tories call for Boxing Day rail services<<
Of course they do: they're in opposition. When in Government, they sold the railways off, and if they were still in Government they wouldn't have any leverage over the railways anyway.

Well, no. The chances are that neither CW nor I, nor most British people, would exist. You, on the other hand....
But then again, if it hadn't been for Britain, you'd all be speaking French. Or Spanish.
