Sherman taking a war to non combatants

Oh! You are refering to the Battle of Algiers. The Algerian war was fought from 1956- 63. Col Marcel Bigeard wrote the book on counter insurgency warfare. It is pure urban myth that the French employed former “Nazis" to interrogate Falaga prisoners. They were good enough without having to use Former Nazis. See “Bigeard’s crevettes".

Also read Churchill's War, by David Irving. He concurs.

Here’s the book that was my eyeopener on FDR

Could careless. There is absolutely nothing just about war. Anything else is BS that the Oligarcy, Scholars and Military institutionalists occupy themselves with to justify their rule over a Nations Citizenry.

PS Churchill was ready to start using Mustard Gas on German cities, till he was advised that England would get the worst of it in retaliation by the Germans if they went that way. It's in Irving's book.

History goes to the victors.

Remember...hitler was the only cause and Merica saved the world. NEVER let history or facts get in the way. Especially since war in the east was decided in the winter of 41 and we saved Europe in 44.

I’m so glad Merica confronted the communists. Oh wait...[bleep]

Remember when Hitler declared war in France and England...oh wait...[bleep]

Remember when Hitler dropped atomic weapons twice on civilian targets...wait...oh [bleep]

Guys peel it back. Hitler was bad...Stalin was worse...WAR IS BAD

In Europe, Russia won and we got to hold the trophy.

Now the pacific...all us. We beat the japs like they owed us money and thank God above we did. The culmination of American strength and American resolve. Proud as hell

Make no mistake...war is ugly but I’m proud as hell to be an American...and I’ve studied the history beyond public school

Well it's no doubt with the japs!

Hitler's alliance with Stalin was diabolical
The invasion of Poland in that context was an unjust war of aggression.
The bombing of Warsaw was criminal even though in a technical sense it was a military target.
If Hitler had only focused on recovery of German areas it may have been righteous but he did not.
Hitler was wicked and a murderer.
All of that is a given.

Nonetheless, Churchill was a blundering drunk and the Brits lost everything in their hubris by promising unqualified support of Poland prior to the 1939 invasion by Hitler. Pat Buchannan asserts it was a foolish transaction resulting in the total demise of the British Empire and the communist tyranny of Poland for another 50 years.

That sums it up nicely

And pigs must die!!!!

Monchengladbach was bombed to destroy the rail yard there, in order to delay the Nazi advance into Belgium. It was definitely a military target.

Incidentally only four civilians were killed.

So civilians were targeted for bombing by the Germans before May of 1940. “The invasion of Poland in that context was an unjust war.” In any context it was unjust. Recovery of what German areas. East Prussia was part of Germany. If you are referring to Gdańsk )the Danzig corridor) it was as much part of Poland as Warsaw, part of the creation of Poland after World War 1, just like Czechoslovakia or the break up of the AustroHungarian Empire. I am familiar with Pat Buchanan’s opinion regarding the start of World War 2 and I do not agree with him and I think that he is very wrong. Hitler’s motives for war were not to recapture lost German territory but to provide “living space in the East.” It was about conquest, subjugation and extermination. Does Pat Buchanan think that if the west had not supported Poland it wouldn’t have fallen under 50 years of communist oppression? Would extermination under German occupation been preferable?

idiots/morons/historical revisionists...

Tell me the difference

Your article wouldn't load for me just now. I'll try it later

The Brits were not the first to bomb civilians in that European conflict

Hitler had already invaded Poland, Norway, and Denmark. He'd shown what he was capable of. You'd better thwart a snake before it strikes.

Oh, no no NO. Hitler was a good guy, and was backed into a corner by the rest of the world---particularly the Joos. Really.
*sarcasm off*

This crap is nauseating.

Also, Hitler had ordered the Luftwaffe to strafe French civilians fleeing the battle areas on foot on the roads. The purpose of this, according to the Nazis, was to create terror.

As for Dresden, it was a major rail center. The Red Army was about 120 miles to the East and advancing, and destroying the center of Dresden would prevent German troops from retreating through the city to avoid capture. Implying that the bombing ws a "war crime" is a myth made up by the neo-Nazis (in which category I place Robert White and TRH, BTW) in order to minimize the Holocaust by implying that our side did it too. According to a German commission early in this century, between 18,000 and 25,000 were killed and most of them were civilians. Was it justified?

That's like asking if Hiroshima and Nagasaki were justified. Maybe or maybe not. But one thing is certain. You can take a stroll along the quay at Pearl on a Sunday morning without being burned to death by Japanese airplanes, can't you.

Anyone remember Guernica?

Yes but I read a book called Gosh..The Nazi's were Nice!
