1. That’s profoundly amusing.

2. That’s profoundly appalling…..

3. Funny, yet that is precisely how flippantly the hip social media would cover such an historical event.

4. World stop I want off.

5. Somehow I do not think that the fifty million people that died during WW II would think this is particularly funny.

6. 1) This has been done before.
   2) It’s been done better.
   WWII on Facebook

7. This would be amusing if it was apparent that most posters know their history well, but most on the social media I’ve spoken to think WW2 was fought to save the Jews and ended when Brad Pitt and some other tough guys killed Hitler in a French movie theater.
   I know a history teacher,”facebooker”, who argued with my son that the Americans played no significant part in winning WW2.

8. Ken – would they be more amused with generations that learn no history, and forget what happened? Pop songs rate pretty low on the importance scale too, but Billy Joel’s “we didn’t start the fire” caused multiple history class assignments because it was something the students liked, and could be made interested in.

   You are right. The other Facebook site is much better. At least on the site you mentioned they know about Ribbentrop-Molotov pact.
   The people on this site have no clue. And they are not amusing. Not at all.

10. A real good twitter feed to follow…@RealTimeWWII it is 1940 on his feed and they are good.
