Just got word, these stills are mine but, the lobby cards aint.

Thank you again Keith, and I also found 23 300 Spartans stills, 5 more The Longest Day, and some others. I sent a message to the sellers on them to see if I can bid and if I win? pay by money order since I cant get a paypal account to work?

Hi Bill, I would have loved to had seen that happen ;-)) Those Gents sure had lots of guts to do that and my hats off to them for doing so ;-))

Quote from Redcap

Hi All,
A Japanese student at the International College near here was sent home because she questioned the literature from Japan about WW2. Apparently the tutors are paid by the Japanese Government who dictate what is taught and said. If this is so we have no hope of the truth coming out.

More revisionist """"historians"""" and I use the word: Historians--VERY loosly. Those people should get a severe dressing down by some WWII Aussie Vets - especially those who fought hard on the Kokoda Trail and at Imphal & Kohima-against the Japanese as well as those magnificent Desert Rats holding off Rommels Afrika Korps @ Tobruk.

To me, them sending that student home as well as spouting their garbage revisionist history, is not only a major slap in the face to all Aussie Vets, but to British Vets and our Guys too.

Hi Bill, I fully agree with you and VERY well said. Im constantly eh hem "correcting" people over at ww2f on things. Somehwo if they would take a little time away from watching mtv and read a few books, wouldn't have to be always correcting them ;-))

Hi Jim, I wouldn't be surprised at that. I absolutely hate revisionist history. Two great books were virtually destroyed when they were reprinted. These two books were The American Heritage Book of WWII and The American Heritage Book of the US Civil War. The original books were outstanding. The reprints some years ago-were drasticalkly changed to be politically correct and was full of BS revisionist history. I CAN'T stand these Lemming PC crouds.

Its a shame that those Italian Battleships couldn't be captured. Those from what i've read in the past about, were basically like the "Ferraris" of the Worlds Navies.

Hi Redcap, that is true about the Japanese kids being tought wrong. I was actually in contact for some months, with a Japanese Reporter from Nagasaki? who was asking me for help on researching some pacific battles I never had heard of because he was working on a Documentary about those battles. I was trying to help him get in touch with American Vets who took part in those battles. Anyway, this reporter told me he was wanting to get the full truth out to the Japanese public, about what really happened in WWII, instead of what their revisionist teachers actually taught in classrooms. I really do hope he did as he said he was going to do.

Hi Bill, thanks for the photos. Im still pretty angered about what happened that day. Ill almost bet that our new so-called--leader, probably apologised to the Japanese for the US shooting down several of their aircraft as well as sinking a midget sub >:-((

Hi Keith, I feel the same about this movie too, being the best portrayal of Pearl Harbor. I'd love to visit there some day.

My Nephew and new Wife recently visited the Arizona Memorial when they were there on their Honeymoon. My Nephew is one who doesn't read much of anything dealing with anything war-unless it is something to do with vehicles. Anyway, he told me that when they stood right there watching oil still seeping to the surface-and it made him become more than misty-eyed because it was only then that reality I guess finally sunk into his mind about our losses at Pearl Harbor.
