Yes I can't stand that either. We were at war with Germany because of what its government had done and was doing.
Indeed. One recalls a programme (probably BBC) which included Chamberlain's famous "declaration of war" broadcast.
The recording was cut short, so it read:
"I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this country is at war." The final two words: "with Germany." were cut!!
