Subject: RE: BS: Christmas Truce (1914)
Jim, I have only expressed 3 views about WW1.

1: That Britain had no choice but to resist the German onslaught;
2: That the British people overwhelmingly understood and accepted that;
3: That the British army was not badly led.

The programme has not addressed 3, but has fully endorsed 1 and 2.
Deny that?

I have expressed no opinion about profiteering or the kind of shells made in our factories.
There clearly was an issue early on, so a post of Munitions Minister was created and the problem solved.
