    I didn't get a chance to talk to Colonel Blackledge but that notebook his father kept on POW/MIA status while he was captive might be of huge interest to DPAA. He is a retired Colonel and I believe his son is a retired MG so I assume they would have considered the impact that notebook might have. Just a fantastic presentation.

I would like to speak with Dr. Richardson, Mr. Payne, or Aaron Watkins about these soldiers. Have they ever been to Nettuno to the Cemetery? Do they know anything about these soldiers, buried overseas, who never came home? etc. etc.

    My father was a veteran of the Battle of The Atlantic- he served on HMCS Moosejaw, HMCS Saskatoon and HMCS Huntsville. Huntsville got a shared kill of a U-Boat in the Irish Sea- dad was one of the men detailed to pick up evidence. Flotsam and body parts, mostly. There were important reasons as to why the Allied prevailed but the most important one was that the British knew that they were in the fight of their lives. The Germans were in the fight of their lives but failed to realise it at the high command. Dad told me a story about how his ship chased a U-Boat but the German outran them on the surface, which the crew found particularly frustrating.

    It was a group effort. Unspoken, many escorts and landing craft were crewed by US Coast Guard sailors. Additionally, Merchant Marine sailors put their lives on the line every time they boarded an outbound ship. In my view, the war at sea was a determined effort to make marine insurance so expensive that trade would collapse. If Lloyd's, for instance, felt compelled to raise its rates beyond which that the carriers felt they could afford . . . the whole of the continent would have become an aggressive balance to the British Empire System so long in place. Napoleon's dream made reality.

    As to the idea that Stalin "was not entirely wrong" about the Allies delivering insufficient supplies to the NAZIs and the War in the West was insufficient, it needs to be mentioned that for much of the first 2 years of the War, Stalin was a Hitler ally (1939-41). In addition, the reason that the Allies had a limited ability to open a Western Front was that Stalin had helped Hitler destroy the French Army (1940). As a NAZI ally, the Soviet Union delivered vast quantities of oil and other strategic materials to the NAZU war machine.
