Morning gang! Found this via another forum I'm on, and thought that maybe some here might enjoy perusing this collection. The text is in French, but it doesn't make it any harder to navigate.

My apologies to the greatest generation, but I couldn't help myself.

Like Hotzot, I couldn't help myself.

The allies did suffer a minor setback when the first Sherman tank blueprints were mislabled using inches instead of feet.

Here's the Google-translated French to English version. __________________ There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep.
