  1.  @dukecraig2402  ME262's, V1's, V2's - they have apostrophes before the 's', yet "wonder weapons" doesn't . . . . do you have an explanation? PS Apostrophes in plurals are grammatically incorrect. It's a U.S. aberration going back the the 1940s, if not earlier.

  11. V2s were still killing Londoners in March 1945; Dresden was in February 1945, but modern-day virtue signallers forget the realities of the time. To end the war, nobody cared two hoots about how many Germans or Japanese would die in the process - it was us or them and everybody preferred it to be them . . .
