Re: Do the Scots REALLY want Independance?

Totally agree, the camps set up in the Transvaal were simply concentration camps (before the term was bastardised by the nazis), however the camps were also used to house, believe it or not, jews in the area. My original point was to debate that Hitler got his ideas of concentrating his enemies into one area from the British and not from what happened in Namibia.

As an aside, I read a book written by an Auschwitz survivor, (been wracking my brains for the last 20 minutes but I cant recall the title), a few years ago, he described building the ovens after he arrived, apparently Hitler only thought of 'the final solution' as an afterthought (chilling when you think about it), so even Auschwitz wasn't an 'extermination' camp' per se either

And as for rape, pillage and murder, Pizarro and Cortez have the yanks beat hands down by a number of years.

I believe you are right about the prosecutor, he was someone who was killed in the American war of indepence if I recall correctly. Cant see how it was a pro-US film though, I know the female lead was a Yank but cant recall ay other Americans in it apart from the prosecutor
