Why haven't they...

Japan also declared war on the U.S. before the U.S. declared war on Japan. Sorry, I've just heard too many people try to tell me that there was no formal declaration of war against Germany by the U.S. in WWII, but there was. It's mostly in the wording.

Ted,

But, the US declaration of war came in response to Germany's declaration, as per the BBC article I linked to. Trefor was correct in his original statement.

The same could be said about Japan, it's attack, and it's declaration of war.

Like I said, I only bring it up because there are a lot of people who have tried to argue that the U.S. never declared war against Germany, and that seemed to be what was being said. I don't think, after reading the post several times, that was what was meant.

* I had to edit an addition to this post.

* Sorry, it was an idiotic thing to even bring up, and I should have known better. *

Anyway, back to the original topic of this thread.

One of the best WWII movies (and a British movie to boot) INMHO is Powell & Pressburger's The Life & Death of Colonel Blimp.
