Eh? Read the title of the tread again....this is 60 years since the dropping of the bomb and that TV programme (along with several others) with its partial and slanting presentation of the facts is part of the commemeration. I can't see any problem with bringing up this notion of commemeration. In fact, if I'd have had my way I'd have brought out stamps....
Nagasaki 9th August 1945 2nd class (with Mushroom cloud backdrop)
Hiroshima 6th August 1945 1st Class (with flattened city backdrop)
Kamikaze Pilot on Okinawa going down in flames (40p)
Formal Surrender on Missouri (68p)
If we can lauch a stamp series called "The best of ITV" (coming soon) then I see no reason why we should'nt have had a VJ series of stamps. Afterall, come mid-October, we shall be having Trafalgar stamps.
