Hiya guys,

Im going to kick the proverbial hornet's nest here and ask what people's opinions are on the following:

Why do you thing there is so much interest (ie modelling, books, movies etc) on defeated powers? Why is there so much attention on say German and Japanese history? Do you think its a case of Sun Tzu's addage of 'know your enemy' in the aftermath, or is it a means of celebrating the heroic deeds of the victor?

Im interested in hearing peoples comments....

Hi Aaron

Maybe it has to do with the same reason why people slow down and stare at a car wreck. As far as why its modeled so much, Its because we build what the companys give us. Just a thought
