Actually, it might be the only way to get kids to learn an accurate timeline of the war. Sad, but kinda funny.

Except for the holocaust and 50 million dead people....

This is funny. I like it. We all know the true horror of war (just got back from DC and the American Holocaust Memorial)but show me one person who hasn't laughed as Benny Hill (remember him) booted the Nazi's (old man). Or any other comedic look at WWII. Jim Gardner in the "Reluctant Hero" for instance. Great post good read.

Brilliant! One tweak I'd make tho: Japan was poking China for a good while before they indicate, and they were crashing in Manchuria for a couple of years by the time Hitler crashed Poland's party.
But other than that, totally cool.
I think this is an excellent way to represent who was with and against whom during that period, something that could be very confusing to a member of the younger generation.
