      Xoggy: I've also noticed the quality of a google has dropped dramatically.

      The last two I did gave the first two sensible answers on the 5 and 7 pages respectively.

      Awful, truely awful.

      I'm considering going back to reading shed loads of manuals and relying on my memory. It is just not on.

        If you've not already found the info try this...

        Hitler ordered the invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939. He issued a form of statement of intent rather than a declaration of war.

        Prior to this Germany had reoccupied Sarrland (lost to Germany after W.W.I) and 'acquired' control of Austria and effectively Czechoslovakia, but these were not officially deemed as acts of war by the west – i.e. the appeasement of Hitler to avert another world war.

        When Hitler invaded Poland, Britain, France, Amsterdam, Australia and New Zealand issued a 'back-off' last warning to Hitler, which was ignored, and declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939.

        On September 5, 1939 the USA declares its neutrality.

        On September 10, Canada declares war on Germany.

        June 10, 1940 Italy declares war on Britain and France.

        December 7, 1941 Japan declares war on America.

        December 8, 1941 America declares war on Japan.

        December 11, 1941 Germany and Italy declare war on America.

        September 8, 1943 Italy surrenders.

        October 13, 1943 Italy declares war on Germany.

        April 19, 1945, German forces in Italy surrender.

        May 8, 1945 Germany surrenders, (VE day).

        September 2, 1945 Japan surrenders, (VJ day).

          The AtW virus strikes

          Do you think this is a prelude to world domination by the SKA? Googles results go downhill after virus commented in cyrillic and a mustachioed cossack riding a .net nag rushes to save the western world?

            You got that right matey -- its all about being in the right place and right time, its not too late to join growing ranks of the SKA troopers -- should there be a major success then all those who helped achieve it will have reasons to say that it was one of the wisest things they ever did.

                  Japan invaded them. They're not the best of friends to this day.
