never seen that 2,738 figure before, I knew many died that last day but never knew it was that many noooo:
But what to say, it was a different time and of course there's a difference between an armistice/cease fire and a peace treaty. Many at the time thought that Germany would restart hostilities once they'd had a couple to weeks to recover.
So it seems evil that so many died that last day but it's the 17 million in the 4 years before that's most appalling
Yes we should always remember
But of course not all do. The Italian run cafe we were in at 11 duly turned off the music at 11 so it could be observed by most of us but the ~60 year old Brit couple near us kept jabbering away. cussing:
