The world would be a better place if the krauts took care of the Soviets.

They could have sued for piece with the US and stopped communism cold. We sold our soul to the devil himself by sideing with the reds


We are still fighting that fight today

No one wants to admit it, but Hitler saved western civilization. The official communist doctrine of the time was still to export the revolution militarily. Stalin was going to attack Western Europe. They had already tried it once in 1922 and were beaten back in Poland. Stalin was going to do it again. And though Hitler didn’t win, at the end of the war the Soviets were exhausted and facing another superpower in the west. If Hitler hadn’t attacked the Russians when he did, Stalin would have undoubtedly taken the entirety of Europe with a few years.

The German guns were way better. From the p38 to the mp40 to the mg42 to the stg44.

Truth

The waffen SS was essentially the first version of the NATO army

Drum roll - glad that someone with the same first name beat me to it. (And - it could never compare to potato bologna!)

We seem to share the same (warped?) sense of humour -- you have beaten me to the PUNch a number of times!

How is Bratislava these days? I spent several months there back in 95. It was a little grim then but I’ve heard they’ve done quite well since.

That is one of the most uninformed posts I've ever read.

"Hitler saved western civilizatin." Rubbish!

Churchill saved western civilization (with a lot of help from many others).


Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Indy is right. The Empire was already going down. India was on the road to independence. There were problems in the Far and Middle East. Better to be bankrupt and free then be taken over by Hitler.

Hitler has no designs on England. There would have been no war with England had they not declared war on Germany over Poland.

People very often forget that France and England declared war...not Germany.

Great photos!!!! Thanks!!!!

Prague for me would be pivo and dining. Then the old Prague Opera House (I believe it’s under a big renovation project!) For either a performance of "Die Zauberflote" or "Don Govanni"! Prague loved Wolfie!

If I had to visit a battlefied it would be Leuthen, Hohenfriedberg, or Zorndorf.

from the time i could barely walk as a kid, i remember the use of the word pivo. I don't think i ever saw my grandparents drink water.
generally it was room temperature beer. Or beer stored in a cellar where they kept the bootleg stuff. That cellar stick reakes of the alcohol when
it gets a little wet.

i have loved opera since a kid. it drives my wife nuts. i could go to sleep every night listening to it. Her, on the other hand, wakes her up like the turks are invading.
