  I too echo Andy's comments, also coming from a service family, we lived in close proximity to army barracks during the 50's & 60's ie next door. It's time to file away these negative thoughts which no longer have any place with any forward thinking European country. As my late father said to me when I was in my teens that it was a long time ago and we should archive all our anti-German feelings to the bin.
  
  He fought for his country and lost a lot of close friends, as a family we lost quite a few family members including my maternal Grandmother, it was a long time ago, our historical enemies are the french, we've got to draw a line somewhere.
  
  Patrick Bishops book 'Bomber Boys' is a real eye-opener and should be read by all who still have bitter feelings for Germany. Many of my German friends and acquaintances are totally puzzled by this archaic viewpoint held by many in this country including a high majority who were not affected by WW1 or WW11 in any way.
