if you could travel back in time to the late 30's, would you?

I think I'd like to make myself look like a prophet considering I'd know most of those things yet to come. Then I'd demand tribute because it appeases those who give me the visions to see thier earth incarnate happy. It would be a happy time... for me anyway.

Clearly not enough of you have seen the "Toaster of Time"

Pre knowledge of what happened in ww2 could be very very frustrating if you intend to fight in it.
When you went back with your stearman experience and were ordered to go to fly P40s at Clark Field in Oct 1941. It would be interesting to me what you would do.
You know you don't get to choose right?

But my answer is that throwing my name in the hat and volunteering in ww2, knowing how it went, I am probably not man enough. I know the world was saved without me dying, getting imprisoned by the Japanese for 4 years or having my face burned away. I am old enough to know I am not immortal.

Then freeze up from total fear on the battlefield and call your commander and whine about the enemy not playing fair ?

I don't know about going back to the 30's. My values do seem out of place with what people consider important these days- and I'm only 37. I could easily adapt to late 40's I think. I work, I help take care of my family, farmland, etc.. Everything is paid for! I'm not in debt- old values.

Not old, but true values. I'll the leave the 30's were they are at.

One word for the 30s.... NO

It was one of the most difficult times for humanity in the last 100 years. Could you imagine +33% unemployment? What do you think enabled people like Hitler to come to power, peoples overwhelming feeling of despair and hopelessness. Hitler gave them that... promised a great civilization that would last 1000 years, etc... all BS of course, but look what they got instead... hatred and eventual ruin...  no thank you...

I'm glad I live in 2010, I'm able to peacefully live and support myself and have enough free time to play this game.

Watch were you step when you come to find out. You know what we do in the woods.

Without Hitler the world would be a very different place. Millions of peoples lives would have been spared and technology would be IMO decades off from what it is now if WWII never happened.


I wouldn't change anything so I wouldn't mess with any times lines, but I would seek out my grandfather and meet him since I never got the chance to.
