Another virtuoso post today by that eminent historian, DrDeth.
I had a brief exchange with another poster in the thread about phony and annoying stuff in movies and TV that take you out of the plot. We were discussing whether it was realistic in Raiders of the Lost Ark for Indiana Jones to hitch a ride atop a U-boat for a long journey and not expect it would submerge at some point. DD decided on a snappy response to my post:
Congratulations, DD! Thanks for enlightening us that WWII didn’t start for another few years (after Poland instigated it by refusing to cede territory to the Nazis, as he has informed us).
I tell you, we’ll learn that boy some history yet.
