I am German (living in Canada since I was 6) and was teased relentlessly in public
school because of my heritage. It's a shame people cannot see the difference
between Germans and Nazis. Additionally, my father was in the Luftwaffe -- but he
was not a Nazi. In fact, he was a Swing Kid from Hamburg before he was drafted.
So -- I do take exception to the intimation that all Nazis were German and vice
versa.

Censorship is an evil thing. WWII -- case in point. Censorship only begets a very
damaging naivete about its associated affairs and concepts. You'd think the human
race would have learned that by now.
And what the heck is wrong with using the Adventurers to imitate Indiana Jones any
way? I think it's a cool idea. Now... no melting mini figs a la the Death Angels
scene! :-)
