Dave, you asserted that the people were lied to about the Germans in 1914.
Asked to support that statement, you suggested a book that you had not read and which did not support your assertion anyway!
Nothing else from you on that so far.
You made it up.

Today you asserted that your opinions are based on a lot of reading, but you declined a request to say what.
As nothing written in the last twenty years by any historian does support your views, I think you made that up as well.

Will you tell us now what you have read that supports your opinions on WW1?
Will you tell us now what you have read that supports your assertion that the people were lied to about the Germans in 1914?
