That's some sobering stuff, Mauro...
Seeing the remains of an artillery Luger from underground tunnels, man just pulling up various links and photos, a Russian guy with artifacts found on his land, a Nazi helmet with a bullet hole in it and old boots etc, "wow", serious tough times... Would have been worse though if the "this world is ours" guys hadn't been stopped, no doubt, so that's kind of the bottom line. A decade back I was (and am I guess) an SKS freak (7.62 x 39 rifle), especially re: the "Cold War" ones, the motto was "it's us who are collecting them now, no matter what they used to represent, we the free now can enjoy instead of attempt to entrap by these armaments". That's my view re: Lugers. We're balanced bright minded people who aren't trying to "bring harm by any tool possible". Back on topic, all that history on the actualities of WWI and WWII certainly are sobering and enlightening. I need another beer... Frank H. in L.A. (but looking closely at Oregon...) |
