In fairness for the hard taskmaster you see in the doco, he does have a sense of humour. (Go to 5:26 if it doesn't open there).

Video unavailable. Reckon knowing the truth is going to have to wait.

I think it was Norton who mentioned this documentary. But I've just finished watching 'World War 11: From the front line". Truly amazing how they brought the war to life in colour.

It's WWII

Not World War Eleven.

[Molle]

Not World War Eleven.

Eleven? Two 1's it is, one and one is two, makes it World War two

Eleven? Two 1's it is, one and one is two, makes it World War two

Of course.

They've changed the Roman numerals in WWII to the Hindu–Arabic numeral system and write two not as 2, but as 11.

You on the 1111111111111 . 11111 % Shiraz already Mike?

The Brits call it World War 2 and the Tommy Tanks (yanks) call it World War 11. Being as it was an American doco the language was written in American so World War 11 it is. And I thought I was thick. Doh

The name of the series uses II, not 11.

How to write World War 2?
The manual offers various options for referring to the two world wars; choose either roman numerals (World War I, World War II, World Wars I and II) or words (the First World War, the Second World War, the First and Second World Wars, the two world wars) to name these wars consistently throughout your paper.

Never had me reading glasses on. Sorry.

Perhaps 7/11 has run out of the knock off Baileys.

I apparently can't comment on someone spending the afternoon guzzling shady Bailey's...because I drink a premium Belgian Beer.

Maybe, but VII/XI is fully stocked!
