scaryink Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share #22 Posted August 27, 2009 Nicole: I have followed your posts and know that you are and have consistently been a knowledgable and constructive ( and often humorous ) contributor to this forum. I am also certain that you were trying to inject some humor into a topic ( Leica future speculation ) that desperately needs humor. I apologize if I over reacted. Pete: Many ( probably most ) historians today, view first and second world wars as a connected, causative, and continuous event rather than as discrete events. There was actually one war interrupted by a 21 year cease fire. (not counting Spain, the Rhineland, and the Sudetenland)(or China). German historians have always viewed it this way, and most western historians have now come to this view. As an aside, Ernst Leitz was a hero in those times, and intentionally moved all of his Jewish employees out of Germany, to Leica posts in The UK, US, France, Brazil, etc., saving most of them. It is a fascinating story. Regards to all ... Harold I am curious as to your sources on this theory. While there were many many issues that carried over from I to II, from a legal and political view, these were distinct and separate conflicts. Sounds like a bit of revisionism to me. You could certainly apply this same theory to the great depression and the current not-so-great depression. There were many similar activities and undercurrents that lead to both these events as well. Theory and hubris are often best friends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
haroldp Posted August 27, 2009 Share #23 Posted August 27, 2009 Scaryink: To begin with, there was never a peace treaty legally ending WW1, merely an armistice ( as in Korea today ). Both were largely fought with the same personnel. etc. I would enjoy a discussion of these issues in detail, but we should pick another venue as I do not think everyone on this forum is so inclined. Regards .... Harold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicoleica Posted August 27, 2009 Share #24 Posted August 27, 2009 Scaryink. If you want some light reading, this link will give you all of the details regarding the Treaty of Versailles, which was meant to have legally ended the Great War.

guy Posted August 27, 2009 Share #25 Posted August 27, 2009 For what it's worth, there's a deal of fascinating analysis which I think does strongly support the view that the two World Wars were in effect one World War with a gap in the middle. But I think that's a minor issue. What's clearly to the fore here is the as-yet-unanswered question of which Leica Chuck Norris will be getting. To which the obvious answer must be, Any Leica He Wants. On which topic, I direct your attention to: Chuck Norris Facts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaryink Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share #26 Posted August 27, 2009 Chuck Norris is a bad ass. He could crush the M8 between his bicep and forearm. Perhaps a Leica on top of an Uzi would be good for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
