On their "best" day they murdered around 11000 human beings. utterly incomprehensible....
I'm still struggling to get my head around this....
11,000 people ffs.
Whenever I read about mass numbers of deaths i.e. WW1, the only way I can visualise it is through sporting stadiums....old Wembley was 100,000 etc.
This 11,000 is nearly full capacity for my home town of Southend's footy ground. I can visualise the crowd......but that many people in 1 day just screws my head.
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
