No problem Martin - your story about the "self-governed, democratic" soldiers councils and their "betrayal" by social democrat Noske nevertheless seems to give just credit to this slogan as your chosen headline of the thread. I guess that I am still allowed to add another view to these...

IMHO the film falls short in each of the following aspects: Plausible Action, historical correctness and transcription of the story of the novel. Compared to the likewise historical incorrect drama of "The saving of Private Ryan" it is much harder to connect to the personality of the main...

Not just a role model and class act while running his business but also an exceptional way to keep his customers informed about the closing of the company and further availability of his excellent products. All the best Darren for acchieving your next goals to enjoy your life!

It is Payday in many ways for some blunders of the past years and like always the average people are going to pay the bill(s). Same over here.
