As for the second world war, I know more about what happened in Europe then what happened in the Pacific.
Where would you say you are most knowledgeable on the topic? And how were you going to finish the sentence, Its interesting to note, how the perpetrator of the attack, Admiral Yamamotto,. You kinda just stopped....
Interesting how this Sunday was the 7th of December. The attack on Pearl Harbour was also the 7th.

1. I was not logged in when I wrote the first comment, therefore it came up as anonymous.

Thanks for your two cents. :)
