From your link, <From 1941 to 1943, 32 Brazilian vessels fell victim of U-boats all along the coast, with painful consequences to the national spirit, which eventually led to the declaration of war on Germany and Italy in August 1942, a bold decision for a country such as Brazil, when the outcome of the war was far from predictable. > Wimps! NZ and my Dad declared war back in 1939. But then, being an integral part of the British Empire, I suppose that's understandable. NZ was the first country to declare war on Germany. Mainly because of being first into the new day. It wasn't as though NZ planned on going it alone ... haha, though I bet Hitler was scared when he heard my father was going over there. Mqurice
