Creamo, you fail to forget  the part of history where the  U.S. had an isolationist attitude about the 'war' in Europe.  

If  Pearl harbor and a few other events hadn't happened, the scenario might have been Germany getting the A-bomb first, then Creamo would be speaking German, and using a funny 'Heil Hitler' salute!

And, you definately would not be posting here, and enjoying flight sims!  The predecessing leader after Hitler would NOT allow freedom of speech!

SAW,  Actually I believe USA has the least holidays (observed by businesses)of all the Industrialized free world.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't England get like 3-4 weeks off a year and Italy is much more like 4-6 weeks off a year?

A friend of mine that was educated in the states with the last name of Cabrolotto (yes that's Lotto Sports) and he would have a difficult time flying home because even the cabs, buses, airports closed a certain time of the year.  I believe he lived in the wine country in a fairly small city (the name escapes me currently), so I'm not sure of how the holiday's are in the larger towns in Italy.  He's the son of the creator of Lotto Sportswear, so as you can imagine he's really hurting for cash, hahaha.

Er... off the top of my head England gets 8 days off a year in Bank Holidays.  I may have forgot one but even so that only makes nine which I think is the lowest in the UK.

Humble, when I finally ascend to power after a bloody coup d'etat, all CCR Nazis will be lined up and shot.

I'm the first to thank those who helped liberate Denmark, don't get me wrong  .

That quote, however, is a quote of an American. I just find it very suiting  .

Of course, we all know and love True American Patriots.
