What Is This Website Supposed To
Achieve? |
|
|
This website is intended to
provide comprehensive information about the design of the ships and boats
that fought in the Second World War, and to explain the designs in the
proper historical context. Perhaps more than any other service, the
design of ships and boats was greatly influenced by politics, and without
some understanding of the politics it's impossible to properly compare the
ships and boats of the various nations. |

Why Do You Choose To Show The
Swastika? |
|

It was a difficult decision, as
I detest all that the Nazis stood for. However, the historical fact is
that Nazi symbols were prevalent in Germany during and before World War Two,
and it would not be correct to pretend otherwise. I do not believe
that the symbols themselves have the power to cause hate, only that they
represent a hateful system. I believe that the best way to prevent the
Nazi ideas becoming mainstream is to educate people to the facts, not to
hide the symbols and pretend they don't exist. This site only uses
Nazi symbols where required for historical accuracy, and not to push a
political agenda. |

Are You Trying To Push A
Particular Viewpoint? |

I don't think so, although as
with everyone my views are shaped by my background and current
circumstances. I try to adopt a neutral viewpoint, giving facts rather
than opinion in most cases. Where opinion is given I believe that it
is supported by fact, but of course there will be those that think my
opinion is incorrect. |
