Sure we know Paul Revere. He ran the smorgasbord on the boardwalk in O.C.

If you read about the beginning of the Revolutionary War, it was actually William Voss that made that historic ride.

who knows what is true anymore. WW11 and some of the stories about Hitler are not true. He didn't want to start a war. He wanted to create a socialist country. Poland forced him to go to war after he made repeated peace attempts. Russia, England, USA, France all wanted war and endeavored to make war. USA and England especially wanted to totally destroy Germany. Russia wanted the major powers to wage war, and when they were exhausted he would attack and roll though Europe. Hitler stopped his plan by attacking Russia first and forcing Stalin to go to war before he was totally prepared.

Even during WW11 Hitler made repeated attempts to make peace with Poland and England, which were refused.

History is written by the victors. There are two sides to every story and then there is the truth. I recently watched a documentary about this through the eyes of Germany. Quite a different version than what most of us has been taught.

The USA and other countries are not angels by any means, but they can portray that fantasy as they were victorious in that war and colluded with each other.

Sometimes the truth is hard.
