Default Re: PEARL HARBOR

Johnny, I agree with you unreservedly about Das Boot. Concerning generational differences: I was nine years old in 1941. I came out of a local movie theater in Louisville, KY about 4:00pm one Sunday everning and newsboys were shouting, "EXTRA, Japs bomb Pearl Harbor". I thought I better get home as quickly as I could because they might get our house next; (cuz I thought Pearl Harbor was somewhere on the Ohio River). I know now I was wrong......Regards, Ad Yeaman
