      No disrespect intended, but after living with the Fr. for 21 yrs, I truly believe the Germans felt that they were being liberated, -from the French!

      Before I get a lot of hate mail, it's just my sense of humour! The damned machine posted before I had finished!
      Yeah, I'm a sick puppy.
