Well done, Dissident Frogman, this is one of the fairest text I've ever read. Though I'm in the US right now, the only thing I want to do when I am back is to rush to the shores of the Channel.
There's just something I'd like to add: By talking to american people, working with them and hiking in the country, I figured out that Tommy and Joe didn't free us from Fritz, but actually from Igor. For Igor would eventually have rid us of Fritz, I have no doubt about that. But Igor would just have sat on Fritz' throne, tightening our leash to make sure 'thralldom' is how we spell 'life'. I don't thank americans because I'm not speaking german today. I would never have. I thank them, because I don't speak russian.
Fritz and Igor are the same guy, and they fight each other since there can be only one master. But, if you think about it, they are so close. And not close to me at all. And obviously not close to you. Thanks for your site.
Have you ever thought about immigrating to the states? That's definitely what I want to do, because I don't want the Larzac to be spoken as highly as Omaha beach, if not higher.
