Friedman here is dealing with issues unfamiliar to him and unsurprisingly is a bit out his depth, a limitation exacerbated by the very restricted compass available in Naval History. In addressing the Fischer Thesis he is touching on one of the greatest controversies in modern history, one still far from fully resolved.

Finding it not possible to upload more than one picture, to go along with text, have most reluctantly chosen to memorial here, the US postage stamp honoring US WW I participants/soldiers. There are several other pixs which would have liked to include but must remain not so.
Prof. Kuehn's memorial was most well welcomed. Except would disagree with his final conclusion.
