Re: Seeking Western Campaign crash locations & crew IDs for 3 shot down KG54
Putkikker, et al.,
I'll make sure that when the EOE airwar histories come out I don't use the term "Holland" in them, and use "the Netherlands," to refer to anything regarding that country (which will be very extensive). I take your point about it being the "official" name, and for "official" purposes I'll not use the term Holland. In the meantime, if I slip in my haste to post something on this website, don't take offense if I mention the term Holland. Absolutely no offense is intended. I had no idea that the terms weren't effectively interchangeable. Having been to the Netherlands 4 times in the last three years doing research, I'm sure that I've used the term Holland in front of my Dutch friends, colleagues and hosts many times, and not once did any of them ever indicate I was doing anything politically incorrect.
