Good points. However 50 years of PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. rule didn't mean the eastern block counrties populations couldn't or didn't rebel.
To assume every other ethnic group is going to rise up and run riot through the white areas is IMHO rather improbable. I never believed ethnic hatred ran so deep.( with exceptions to the extremists) They will have just a many problems as 99% of the rest of the population.
But yes, I suppose Stalingrad wasn't the best example- I wil have to think again and clarify my views.
Thanks to those who have responed to my post - its always amazes me what I never thought of!
