Paul,

"..., there are no good guys in war."

I thought that you might consider Weary Dunlop to have been a good guy.

Dear Paul,

You're right concerning the plight of the Baltic
States during World War II and thereafter. They
only regained their Independence recently.

As for Sir Weary Dunlop? This conversation has gone
on long enough. I actually have signed copies of
his work. It was my great honour to present Sir
Dunlop on behalf of the Lithuanian Community in
Australia a biography of one of our most famous
freedom-fighters signed by his widow (now living in
New York). It was at a formal function at Dallas Brooks
Hall.

Sir Dunlop was highly respected and loved by so many.

And rightly so.

As for Is Mise - its too silly for words to continue
any further with this conversation

For god's sake, prisoners of the Japanese were repeatedly stripped naked over the years and often kept that way. Where was Dr Dunlop supposed to hide his guns ?

Joe

Joe,

Probably where he hid the many scraps of paper, notebooks and exercise books that comprised his diaries or maybe he hid them with his radio but hide them he did and very successfully.

Suggest that you read a few books about the POWs, you'll be amazed at their ingenuity.
The printed version of his war diaries runs to 476 pages, extrapolate this to handwriting and you have some idea of the magnitude of his problems in hiding the diary.

Foxy,

"As for Is Mise - its [it's] too silly for words to continue
any further with this conversation"

Is this your new formula for bowing out when thoroughly beaten?

Is Mise,

I can only be beaten by someone whose opinions
I respect.
