[Leica] Geesh - and we though camera people had it tough

[leicachris at worldnet.att.net (Christopher Williams)]

I think we(USA) were content on selling arms to both sides. Remember the
GI's that wondered was Germany was driving Ford's? We're just after the
quickest buck.

Now if Europe and US had not let Germany continue the Submarine Warfare,
WWII may have been different.
