Over on BGG there is a
Historical Context Forum, in which was asked "What commander would you like to meet?" (I can almost hear Vince snickering already.) I chose Arthur Percival, Phillipe Petain, & Erin Rommel. (It's sort of a what would tell them thing.) Now for the fun part...
At the beginning of an exchange with someone who thinks Hitler is unstoppable in 1934, I injected a comment about telling Jane McCrea to not go pick berries. It was sort of directed toward the British participants, and they didn't know who she was or why she was important. What disturbed me was that my countrymen are equally ignorant of the very small, but tremendously important role she played in our national existence.
Anyone here know why she is important?
