Seen it, but it’s funny. Slight historical error re Pearl Harbor and Operation Barbarossa but not too bad otherwise. 🙂

Yep, it’s old, but hilarious. I first saw it in text form only years ago, the pictures were a nice touch.

Yay! I was looking for this in an idle moment a while ago but couldn’t work out what it was called in order to find it. I have only seen it as text before. Old but good! 🙂

That’s funny. Thanks. Someone should do the Civil War like that.
