I didn't click the link but I presume it was the show that was on tellie the other night.

While it's sad that so many died on the last day, and something like 300 died because a General? (I forgot which rank it was) wanted to capture the baths in the town for his men to clean up in after the war.

It does make a good point, was the lives lost on the last day anymore sad than those on any other day, or even the first?

And the Generals answer as to why so many died on the last day was not a bad one. They didn't want the war to stop and rather prophetically they said the war would just start all over again because Germany wouldn't believe they where defeated. so they did all they could on the last day to try and show Germany they where beat.

Sadly it didn't work and we then had WW2. Lesson learned though.
