I am getting a little tired of repeating myself on the subject of the benefit of hindsight. I was around in WW2 and experienced all the things which were said, discussed and the general feeling of the public. Where were you, Jacko? You are like so many of the writers since WW2 who are only to willing to neg atively criticise what went on. If we knew in 1942 what we found out in 1943 or in 1944 what we knew in 1945 all of our actions would have been modified. Do a little more studying, especially what was known about things at that time. Of course with a little bit more intelligence at the time our leaders would have directed efforts towards greater successes. Give credit where credit is due.
