excellent multipart series on the nazi extermination groups operating in russia and central europe.
einsatsgroupen if i spelled it right.
It pretty much spells it out with photo footage a lot of what happen.
My person opinion is they knew about 3000 of the commanders/members of these groups, only about 200 were tried.
I would have hung them all.

Not all Allied soldiers who served in WW2 felt the same way about it as you do.

maybe you should ask yourself why that is...

hint; in A big dirty nasty war of such length and scale there is a thing called perspective.

Folks will recall the 'Malmady massacre'...Col. J.Peiper and other members of the 1st SS Panzer regiment
went to trial, 73 in all....42 received the death sentence including Peiper , the final result was none were
executed and all were out of prison by 1956.
Some will say they all should have hanged, well if justice is to be served in such manner then the Americans
who murdered similar size groups of German prisoners in Normandy should also have been tried and hanged.

And those allied pilots that firebombed some 70 Japanese cities killing many innocent non combatant civilians
surely a horrendous war crime worthy of severe punishment.

Come now, didn't you hear wonderful speech the "Golden Gal" made at the 75th anniversary of D-Day landing. She said that thanks to those brave men that landed on the French beaches the Germans were freed from the enigmatic almost mythical Nazis that ruled over the poor Germans since ca. 1933? I bet the Western Leadership bought that BS and applauded wildly. Would you care to guess what percentage of Germans chose to vote for the NSDAP in 1933 democratic elections? You know, it's only when the bombs started falling on Germany en mass they started to loose faith and support for previously "wonderful" Fuhrer.

There were three groups A, B, C (like German armies North, Center, South) composed of Germans plus some other ethnic minorities that helped them.

you need to do a little more reading, or watch the program on netflix. no comparison to wartime activities between warring armies. such as murdering hundreds of thousands of women and children.

one of the interesting parts was later in the war the germans having captive jews dig up bodies and burn them to get rid of the evidence.

Im sure many Americans believed that the 1st SS panzer executing American POWs in Normandy was worthy of a death penalty,

or do we need to watch Netflix to know that?

I feel bad for those poor Slavic Brothers. The Bolshevik Patisans came took food and supplies later Germans followd accusing them of collaboration and eliminating them. In Belorussia alone over 600 villages were burned along with all their inhabitants.

Their purpose was to capture and summarily execute Soviet agents in advance of occupation. They used the locals to help identify them, who were generally more than happy to do so, having been living under their despotic yoke for years.

Yes, it was ruthless. War sucks. Summary execution of enemy partizans has historically been a part of war, however.

And I'm sure that during the process, war crimes were carried out, and innocents were murdered. Happened on all sides, and in every war. Our side had such incidents during the Vietnam War. WWII, also, and likely every other war we were involved in. Such crimes were standard operating procedure for the Soviets during WWII, and they were our beloved allies.

If it was one, it was too many.
Posted By: Starman Re: Germany WWII - 06/09/19
So you have no idea whatsoever as to how many Einsatzgruppen survived the war and escaped prosecution.

Have you spent all your hate on the Nazis or have some to spare for the Soviets and Allies
that killed large numbers non- combatant civilians?

the Allies killed like 70,000 civilians in the Normandy push by bombing a list of densely occupied cities that had virtually
no German forces in them....just level them at whatever ruthless cost cause we were the good guys and such is the price of freedom.

re;30,000 ... History likes to focus on the Jewish victim component of Babi Yar, when it was but a fraction of those
mass executed at that location.

In any war, the winners get to write the history and the losers are always the ones that come out on the short end of the stick. WW2 was no different. There is not doubt whatsoever that the Germans committed numerous atrocities.....but so did the Soviets, probably more than the Germans. The Japanese were no slouches in the atrocity department either. Also, the Allied bombing campaigns killed untold numbers of innocent civilians, most as a result of bombing that had no strategic value, so I don't see how they can get off scott free either.


It's simple, in a war, people die, many of them unnecessarily. It's always been that way, always will.

The fact still remains that many of the German and Japanese cities that were bombed had no strategic value. They were bombed to send a message to the citizens of those countries. Now, while most Japanese did whatever the Emperor said to do, most Germans did not belong to the Nazi party, yet were considered as "fair game" in the Allied bombing campaigns.

It all boils down to one thing.....you do whatever you have to do in order to win a war. That's what we did in WW2, and we won. We did not do that in Korea and Vietnam, and we did not win. We settled for a draw in Korea, and for a pullout of South Vietnam. We also have not won in Afghanistan or Iraq, as we're still there.

My point is that if you want to win a war, you eliminate whoever gets in your way, as both the Axis and the Allies did in WW2. We justified our actions in bombing civilians who had no part in the fighting process, and we hanged the Nazis for doing the same. Meanwhile, the damned Soviets got off scott free, and they were worse than the Germans.

Isn't it amazing how Eisenhower foresaw this.
It's why he commanded that every possible American serviceman who could,
be sent to the camps to witness what was there.

The number of witnesses and the huge number or photographers is what gives the
story credibility. If only a few hundred saw it, and the photo's were all taken by
Official photographers, the Kookspiricy's would have an easier time convincing people.

As an aside, YouTube's new algorithms are having an unforeseen consequence (i.e., the new algorithms broke YouTube). History teachers in high schools across the country are now unable to find the materials on Nazi German history that they had been accustomed to showing their classes, since the new AI algorithms have inadvertently caused them to be deleted from the service.

It began as a war of Britain and France against a dictatorial regime that invaded an ally while ignoring that another dictatorial regime invaded that same ally at the same time. After six years of war and somewhere between 50 and a 100 million deaths, they willingly ceded the entirety of their “ally’s” territory to the most murderous dictator in history.

yes, but they were on the winning side, that is our side.

victors don't get treated the same as the losers.

War isn't pretty nor sanitary. There are no innocents. The sad thing about WWII is that it was probably preventable had they not decided to let Hitler take the Sudetenland. The world is ruled by the aggressive use of force or the threat of the aggressive use of force. FDR was a socialist so he was sympathetic toward Stalin and Hitler. Only when Hitler took France and was on the verge of taking Britton did FDR come to his senses. He was fine with Japan taking half of China and Burma but surprised when they attacked Pearl harbor. Come on he practically handed it to them so he could get into the war. He ended up supporting Mau over the democratic leader Chang Kai-shek. How'd that end up?

At the time we had no smart bombs and the Japanese were brutal so they had to be taught brutality. We would have lost over a million men taking Japan had it come to that so spare me the tears over innocents being bombed. Germany was essentially the same only they scattered their war making machinery across the country to hide the plants from view. War is truly hell and if you don't believe it just ask someone who's witnessed their friends being blown to bits in front of them. In Vietnam the Viet Cong would allow no innocent civilians. either you helped the cause or you were tortured and murdered. The only problem with Vietnam is we didn't go ahead and finish winning the war we already had won. We paid dearly for our efforts.

Our leaders get us into these messes and end up not having the guts to go ahead and finish what they started. Rules of engagement comes ultimately from the commander in chief and we've had some doozies. LBJ cost us a lot of soldiers lives with his stupidity. FDR should take his share of the blame for the war starting in the first place. his only saving grace was letting Eisenhower do his job.

Posted By: Seafire Re: Germany WWII - 06/09/19
had access to declassified material while in college in the early 70s...

When the US entered the war in 1941, military planners predicted it would take until 1958 to 1960 to defeat Germany, and then they would finish the war against Japan...the B17 and B 24s were side notes, to hold over the US bombing needs, until the planes planned to fight the middle part of the war, was the B 29, B 32 and B 36... plus it wasn't long afterwards that the concepts of the B 47 and B 52 were on ther drawing boards... although when they were finally built, they were in a lot different configuration... but their missions were the same back in early 1942 and 43...

The USAAF had plans to bomb Germany, from North Africa, but also from Britain, much more extensively it had finally occurred... they had intentions of building bases in Scotland for the longer range B 29s and B 32s... and had even planned air fields in Ireland for the B 36s... if Ireland refused to allow that, the US military had even planned on invading Ireland and occupying it to force on the Irish Government to build bomber bases in Ireland.

After Germany was taken care of... the Pentagon thinkers predicted that to defeat Japan, it would take 5 to 7 years to end the war with them....this was 1941 predictions...Defeating both Nazi Germany and Japan in those days meant to destroy both countries from the face of the earth,, ceasing their existence ( imagine that concept in today's Globalists minds.. although that is their intent on the USA)....

In 1944 after the invasion of Europe, the Pentagon looked at what it was going to cost to invade and defeat Japan... it was that envisioned cost of why the atomic bomb was authorized....prediction in American military losses was going to be between 4 million on the low end, and 6 million on the upper end....cost to the Japanese nation, was going to be wiping out 75 to 80% of their population entirely....

I had 6 Uncles on my step dad's side who served in WW 2... three did not come home...
The three that did, had served in Europe.. all three were in Units that were transferred from Europe, back to the USA to re equip and train for the invasion of Japan....

each Uncle served in different units in different parts of Europe...

They were given 6 weeks leave when they came home, with their station to report for duty when that was over was on the West Coast.. Ft Lewis and Ft Ord ....like everyone in their units, they were pretty much told to get their personal affairs in order during their 6 weeks on leave... and their chances of returning home was between zero and never....diplomatic way of telling everyone in their units that they would die in Japan trying to defeat the Japanese Empire...and the "Final Victory" as we boys were told when they would tell us some of their WW 2 stories, growing up...

a lot of stuff you don't see in the history books either...
Posted By: Dons1 Re: Germany WWII - 06/09/19
Eisenhower settled a lot of scores after the fighting ceased. Read two books by James Bacque - CRIMES AND MERCIES and OTHER LOSSES. German POWs, particularly in France and (West) Germany were literally starved by denying food and supplies. The Germans had damn near the losses in the POW camps as those sustained during hostilities. Similarly, the German civilians, who had lost literally everything, were treated the same. The Swiss and the Red Cross were denied pushing in life-sustaining support even though there were ample supplies after the war.

In the East, the Russians were not as kind and gentle to POWs and ethnic German civilians caught in East-Bloc countries after Germany surrendered.

Come now, didn't you hear wonderful speech the "Golden Gal" made at the 75th anniversary of D-Day landing. She said that thanks to those brave men that landed on the French beaches the Germans were freed from the enigmatic almost mythical Nazis that ruled over the poor Germans since ca. 1933? I bet the Western Leadership bought that BS and applauded wildly. Would you care to guess what percentage of Germans chose to vote for the NSDAP in 1933 democratic elections? You know, it's only when the bombs started falling on Germany en mass they started to loose faith and support for previously "wonderful" Fuhrer.

Sounds like you should have fought harder, but I guess you enjoyed it, because right after them came the communists who obviously had an effect on you...

Definitely a good thing Hitler was as whacked and incompetent and domineering as he was. The Allies, if you could have called them that, would have likely taken many more years to take him out if it weren't for the Russians taking the approach they did as a war of attrition. That was a war they could win in the long run. England not being conquered and usable as a base to keep German troops in the west was a bonus also. I often wonder at how many SS were shot out of hand, rather than being taken prisoner where they could be, in the west. Even still a good number made it into the West German gov't after the war, and I think, had a big influence on creating the society in Europe today. And even at that, I wonder if the Nazis ever would have come to power, if it weren't for the Communists and their influences in the early part of the century from 1900-1930. In the end, it looks like Communist/Nazi philosophy wasn't all that far apart in many areas, one way or another, they both have to be run by a dictator and a police state, trouble is, they incorporate a lot of utopian ideas that do attract support by those who do not understand the requirements of the implementation of those ideas.
Posted By: Hastings Re: Germany WWII - 06/10/19
Socialism is what communism and Nazism have in common. Socialism is a religion, and while it is secular it is just as much a religion as Christianity and Islam. And when it be comes powerful it will maintain itself through tyranny,terror, and murder just as medieval Christianity and present day Islam has done. Our founders realized the dangers of religion and mob rule and did their best to protect us from those evils. If we had only heeded their wisdom and stayed on the course they set for us, and if only we had followed George Washinton's advice and stayed out of alliances and the affairs of other countries. Consider what a different world it might have been had Germany not been completely humiliated in WW 1. The war would probably have petered out and everybody went home exhausted and best of all, Hitler would have remained an unemployed painter. As it turned out WW 1 was not over until 1945 and everyone we set out to save was under the communist thumb.

Dresden was courtesy of Bomber Harris and the RAF.....

The British and the RAF via Bomber Harris, insisted that the way to beat the Nazis was enough civilian causalties, that they would finally revolt against the Nazi Regime and Hitler....

Single digit percentages of ALL bombs the RAF dropped over Europe during WW2 , were even within 5 miles of their intended target... averages depending upon the raids were about 10 miles or more from the
" intended target"... Bomber command wanted civilian casualties.. the USAAF was doing the strategic stuff for the allies..

Because you deem your personal views superior.

well, there were also allied veterans of WW2 that didnt share your views.
SS troopers killing American POWs was considered by some no less abhorrent than killing a village of civilians.
In fact if someone killed their combat buddies in such manner it can be more personal and they may be more
inclined toward exacting equal form of retribution....Einsenhower frowned upon such and had to repeatedly
issue orders that G.Is were to stop such repeated retributive acts, cause it would just further incite a counter
productive vicious cycle, that would ultimately and unecessarily cost more American lives.

Why are you so butt hurt when people differ to you?

if the only view acceptable is your view, better you tell the campfire that from the outset.

more sympathy for some innocent women and children than others?

if you had to send in American boots to herd and shoot them instead, they may have felt different about killing them.
the remoteness of dropping bombs on a clinical target Dresden makes the job easier with less weight on the conscience.

for those who can shoot women and children with the same lack of conscience as those that wilfully bomb them,
are they stronger or weaker?
if you can shoot them you are an evil heinous villain , .. bomb them and its more easily justified, even make you a war hero?

Ben Ferencz was one of the prosecutors at Nuremberg and he was the one that prosecuted Ohlendorf and many of the other Einsatzgrupen officers. He said that he wasn’t interested in the private’s and corporals or other enlisted men, he was interested in the leaders. He had not only piles of their paperwork with their signatures but he had their full admission when they were on the stand. Ohlendorf admitted that he didn’t like the gas vans because they were inefficient and destroyed morale within the ranks. He suggested to his men that if a baby was nursing on the mother’s breast that they should shoot the baby that way killing both mother and baby. He also said that he’d do it again to his own sister if ordered. Ben Ferencz thought he was honest and likely a gentleman in real life but that his crimes needed to be punished.

A sad and morbid period of world history.

Well, I've been reading about WWII practically my entire adult life and I've read auto-biographies (some published after their executions or by their wives), specifically, Jodl, Keitel and Speer. Nowhere did I read about the scripts (other than translations) or torture by any of them. That said, if this is another attempt to dispel the kook notion Death Camps didn't kill that many jews, then don't bother.

Auschwitz guard offers Germans something rare: A Nazi who admits what he did

On the opening day of his trial on 300,000 counts of accessory to murder, the man known as the “accountant of Auschwitz” told of the moment he lost his “euphoria for Adolf Hitler.”

He was standing on a train platform after Hungarian Jews had been unloaded at the Nazi death camp. The unwitting condemned already had been sent to the gas chambers. The newly arrived slave laborers had been sent in a different direction.

Left behind on the platform was a crying infant. As the child cried, one of the now 93-year-old Oskar Groening’s fellow SS officers approached it, grabbed it by the leg, dashed its head against a nearby truck, then tossed the lifeless body into the truck.

As horrific as that story is, what might have been more shocking was Groening’s next observation.

“I don’t know what else I could have expected the guard to do with the baby,” he mused. “I suppose he could have shot it, though.”

The casual acceptance of brutality that the former Waffen SS officer displayed even 70 years after the Third Reich was destroyed provided a rare insight into the twisted nature of the Nazi death camp mindset. Even from a man who admitted in court that he carried “moral guilt” if not legal guilt for the Holocaust, there was no notion that, perhaps, the baby did not need to have been killed.

He made the same point in his testimony Thursday. “I did not expect any Jews to survive Auschwitz,” he said.

Efraim Zuroff, director and head Nazi hunter for the Israeli office of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said Groening’s testimony, even in its cool detachment, is unique and historically important.

“In my 35 years of trying to bring Nazis to justice, I’ve not met one Nazi who expressed any regret,” he said. “Even now, his words show how deeply the attitudes that made the Holocaust possible run.”

Zuroff noted that Groening hardly deserves credit for coming forward, at 93. He said he once had hoped that nearing the ends of their lives, more old Nazis “would want to come clean before they had to meet their maker.”

That has not been the case with others. Zuroff noted that other Nazi war crimes defendants have tended to claim the wrong person was arrested or that they did not do what they were charged with doing. Groening, therefore, is different.

Still, his testimony exposes the flaws in a decades-long German policy of pursuing only Nazis who could be shown to have blood on their hands.

Groening fully admits he was enthusiastic in his backing of Hitler. He described standing with another guard as he dumped the poison Zyklon B into a panel above a mass “shower room” and how he could hear the screams diminish after that. He talked about how, upon arriving to work at Auschwitz-Birkenau for the first time, he was informed that a large part of the camp was devoted to “discarding” the arriving Jews deemed unfit for slave labor.

Groening knew about and watched all that happened at the death camp. He didn’t actively kill people, but as the prosecution in this case is arguing, his actions made what happened possible. In fact, prosecutors note that his collecting cash that the doomed Hungarian Jews carried when they arrived at Auschwitz, and eventually hauling boxes of it to Berlin, “made it possible for the Nazis not only to continue but to profit from mass murder.”

Previously, the attitude of the guards who staffed Auschwitz and other Nazi death camps has been inferred only from the experiences of survivors or liberators. That’s why Groening’s words fill a void, Zuroff said.

Groening is an important figure, others note, because he is German. Other recent trials have focused on Eastern Europeans. Groening was a proud product of Hitler’s Fatherland.

Michael Wolffsohn, a German historian and expert on German Jewish history, noted in an email answer to questions that Groening was “an exception to the rule. He DID admit his crimes.”

It’s difficult to see actual justice coming from the case, however, Wolffsohn said, when the defendant is 93.

“The trial as such is counterproductive,” he wrote. “A maximum sentence of six years for the murder of 300,000! It would have been better to just analyze Groening’s statement. Justice and law are not always identical.”

Still, the trial has had an impact. In a recent opinion poll, about half of all Germans said they believed it was time to “draw a line under the Holocaust” and move on. But the reaction to Groening’s testimony has overwhelmed such notions.

In particular, the German press has been highly critical that this case took decades to bring to trial. The influential Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper noted in an editorial that “German justice, after the court agreed to take this case, should have asked the victims and the world to be forgiven for having delayed the punishment of the Nazi killers for so long, and even until a point where punishment barely makes sense.”

The newspaper noted that one of the witnesses against Groening, Eva Moses Kor, 81, who was born in Romania, had been a 10-year-old who survived Auschwitz only because she was a twin, a class of people valued by Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele for medical experiments. During the trial, she stared at Groening and said, “Mr. Groening, I want you to come out clearly. Tell the young neo-Nazis that Auschwitz really existed and Nazi ideology has produced no winners, only losers.”

The neo-Nazis and Holocaust deniers were not likely to listen, however. Ursula Haverbeck, one of Germany’s more infamous Holocaust deniers, was in court for Groening’s initial testimony. But after listening to his detailed description of what happened in the camp, she merely noted “he’s been turned.” To her, he’s now a traitor.

Thomas Wulff, a convicted German neo-Nazi, provided a similar view as he stood hoping to get in to see the trial. “This is a late, Allied revenge trial,” he said. “Groening was a victim of his time and now he’s a victim of the German justice system.”

Another newspaper, though, noted that the trial really isn’t about punishing an old man. “It’s about identifying the most severe injustice, as long as those responsible are still alive,” wrote the Stuttgarter Zeitung. “That this so far has not happened, as German justice was blind for so long, does not change the demands of justice.”

“Nazi perpetrators got away because statutes of limitations expired and the legislature failed to intervene,” added the Augsburger Allgemeine newspaper. “Cases were terminated, leaving historians and critical lawyers stunned. . . . Many trials of elderly offenders imploded. The reasons were profane: illness and death.”

And Pascal Durain, writing in the newspaper Mittelbayrische Zeitung,‏ said the trial is a reminder that Germany has debts to pay, as do all former death camp workers.

“Groening owes the truth to the audience,” Durain wrote. “The court owes him a verdict. The state of law owes justice to the survivors. And Germany owes all a message that no perpetrator will get away.”

When you get right down to it, there's not a lot of difference between the Nazis going into an area and killing Russian civilians, and the British bombing Dresden. Of course, it can be said that the Germans started it by bombing London.

Any way you look at it, the civilian population of Europe suffered big time during WW2, mostly at the hands of the Soviets and Germans, but also to a lesser degree, by the Allies as well. But, it was war, and that's what happens in a war.

Up until Churchill’s appointment as prime minister both Germany and Britain had stuck to a pledge not to attack targets in each other’s cities where civilians were at risk. Overy dismisses the long-held belief ‘firmly rooted in the British public mind’ that Hitler initiated the trend for indiscriminate bombings. Instead, he says, the decision to take the gloves off was Churchill’s, ‘because of the crisis in the Battle of France, not because of German air raids [over Britain].’

Ethical restraints which had been imposed at the start of the war became slowly eroded as a result of Britain’s decision to initiate ‘unrestricted’ bombing of targets located in Germany’s urban areas.

We entered the war in '41. American strategy wasn't going to mesh with some sort of idiotic "we don't wanna hurt the civilians" ideals that some dumb fugks in England had in mind.

As far as the documentary, it's pretty raw. They talk to the civilians that lived there and witnessed a lot of what was done. The majority of them seem pretty indifferent to it all. Talks a lot about the kids being executed and has a lot of images that aren't real pleasant.

There are a few interviews with actual soldiers that did a lot of executions. They're not German though. Most of them were conscripted euro-trash and supervised by Nazi's.

I've read many, many books about WW2, from the American view, the British view, the Soviet view, and the German one. By far and away, the most widely held view is that a German bomber, who was supposed to have been going after a British airfield, accidently bombed London...... a target that Hitler and Goring had supposedly forbidden them to bomb. Churchill then retaliated by ordering a bombing raid on Berlin, which eventually led to the bombing raids targeting civilians by both sides.

Whether that is how the bombing of civilians started is something I do not pretend to know, just that it is how most writers say it happened. It is true that Churchill and "Bomber" Harris decided to target German cities and civilians in the belief that it would shorten the war, all of which leads up to the point I was making.......the killing of civilians by the Germans was in many ways no worse than the indiscriminate bombing of German cities by the Allies.

The gloves came off when a bomb was jettisoned by a German Bomber, and it landed on the grounds of Buckingham Palace....

The crew was disciplined, but that went out the window when Britain retaliated against Berlin...

Germany switching from just bombing airfields and military targets is what saved the RAF's resources and airfields.... its ability to still fight..... the German's going after civilian targets is what cost them the Battle of Britain.. essentially saving England from invasion....

A sad and morbid period of world history.

You realize that the confessing Germans at Nuremberg were reading from provided scripts, right? This was preceded by brutal torture, and threats against their wives and children, should they do otherwise.


No you are completely incorrect. Ohlendorf had no papers on the stand and was polite to the court when sentenced. He bowed to the court and stepped in Black Maria to take him downstairs to his cell. His testimony matched the evidence obtained and he said he’d do it again “TO HIS OWN SISTER IF COMMANDED”.

If you like to read:

https://www.unz.com/proberts/the-lies-about-world-war-ii/

World War II was initiated by the British and French declaration of war on Germany, not by a surprise blitzkrieg from Germany. The utter rout and collapse of the British and French armies was the result of Britain declaring a war for which Britain was unprepared to fight and of the foolish French trapped by a treaty with the British, who quickly deserted their French ally, leaving France at Germany’s mercy.

Germany’s mercy was substantial. Hitler left a large part of France and the French colonies unoccupied and secure from war under a semi-independent government under Petain. For his service in protecting a semblance of French independence, Petain was sentenced to death by Charles de Gaulle after the war for collaboration with Germany, an unjust charge.

In Britain, Churchill was out of power. He figured a war would put him back in power. No Britisher could match Churchill’s rhetoric and orations. Or determination. Churchill desired power, and he wanted to reproduce the amazing military feats of his distinguished ancestor, the Duke of Marlborough, whose biography Churchill was writing and who defeated after years of military struggle France’s powerful Sun King, Louis XIV, the ruler of Europe.

In contrast to the British aristocrat, Hitler was a man of the people. He acted for the German people. The Versailles Treaty had dismembered Germany. Parts of Germany were confiscated and given to France, Belgium, Denmark, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. As Germany had not actually lost the war, being the occupiers of foreign territory when Germany agreed to a deceptive armistice, the loss of approximately 7 million German people to Poland and Czechoslovakia, where Germans were abused, was not considered a fair outcome.

I’m going to back out of this discussion now because I don’t have the patience for hyperbole and stupidity. I’ve read volumes and nowhere was it ever suggested that torture was needed elicit the truth from the Germans, they had no reason to lie, they received no leniency for lying nor were they ashamed of what they’d done. Ohlendorf spoke about smashing babies against light poles and told his men he didn’t want them doing that, instead he told them to shoot the baby in the mother’s arms thereby getting a twofer while saving ammo.

Trying to draw a moral equivalence between bombing cities that had military objectives and where civilians die to the systematic extermination of an entire group of people by barbaric methods is as hollow and empty as the usual assertions by the revisionists.

There are similar stories in this documentary. The SS would tell them to shoot the mom's first so they didn't have to see their kids die. Then shoot the kid.

This is testimony from the people that did it. Not witnesses.

What Seafire said previously was correct, the US was the one with the "don't hurt the civilian ideals", and stuck to those ideals perhaps to a fault. The British pushed the civilian targeting and they did light Dresden up.

one of the things brought out is that native populations in various countries were more than willing to assist or preform the actual work for the germans in exterminating jewish populations.
I am not jewish, but there are distant jewish connections in my polygot family . Last year i came across a picture of a train arriving at auschwitz, and the people being separated. One of the people in that picture was a lucy hershkowitz. Hershkowitz being the paternal name of my half sister who just passed away. A whole bunch of hershkowitz's died at auschwitz in the summer of 1944. Auschwitz is only about 70km north of my grandmothers village in northern slovakia. a lot of people died in addition to jews. Back in the 80's i got a letter from the bosnia area of the former yugoslavia from a cousin of my mother. A woman my mother hadn't seen since around 1914. She was a old woman at the time of the letter wanting help with a little money to buy a proper tombstone for her, husband and children. Husband and sons had been killed during the war.
That is the slovak side. Now then there is the german, with a name that traces back generations in germany, and was active in the national socialist party prior to the war. My research has pulled out a lot of high ranking nazi's. And i have had sit down discussions with old men, that at one time were in the SS, and in eastern europe during the war. At the time i was talking to them, they were gentle old men on the surface. As a youth in germany, i don't know and on the eastern front, i don't know. what i rassle with is when the russians came into germany on their march to berline they crossed westphalia and pomerania, the area that my german side lived in for at least eight generations after scotland. I shudder to think what they faced, paybacks are a bitch. But then i think what these groups did in central europe and russia, and understand motivation for what they did when their turn came going into germany. The one thing i DO know is the ordinary human being usually is the one that suffers.
And has far as harris and the british bombing, it is ironic the ties of the british royal family to germany and for that matter to the czar.

WW1 ended and everybody involved decided to take big chunks of Germany and keep them,...including the German citizens who lived in them. They also demanded that Germany pay reparations to the extent that what was left of Germany was economically destroyed. Less than a generation later Germany built a war machine and started getting some payback. Churchill decided to stick his nose in it and got England messed up too. End of that empire!

If France had just gone home and went about their business after WW1, there would have never been a WW2. But they never could leave well enough alone. So America ended up bailing their ass out after Germany just walked in their front door. France couldn't leave well enough alone in Vietnam, either. For whatever reason, after the Vietnamese sent France packing, America decided that it needed to give Vietnam a try.

The French are trouble.

Poland never did like Germany so they got in line after WW1 to take a piece of the place. For their trouble, they ended up under the thumb of the Soviet Union for several decades after WW2.

Well, you know the rationale behind our bombing of civilians was pretty much the same as behind 9/11.

In both cases, someone involved in a war or what they consider to be a war bombs a civilian target in the theory that the civilians support a government that promulgates what you consider to be objectionable policies or violence towards people or things you support.

Were World Wars I and II inevitable? Were they necessary wars? Or were they products of calamitous failures of judgment?

In this monumental and provocative history, Patrick Buchanan makes the case that, if not for the blunders of British statesmen–Winston Churchill first among them–the horrors of two world wars and the Holocaust might have been avoided and the British Empire might never have collapsed into ruins. Half a century of murderous oppression of scores of millions under the iron boot of Communist tyranny might never have happened, and Europe’s central role in world affairs might have been sustained for many generations.

Among the British and Churchillian errors were:
• The secret decision of a tiny cabal in the inner Cabinet in 1906 to take Britain straight to war against Germany, should she invade France
• The vengeful Treaty of Versailles that mutilated Germany, leaving her bitter, betrayed, and receptive to the appeal of Adolf Hitler
• Britain’s capitulation, at Churchill’s urging, to American pressure to sever the Anglo-Japanese alliance, insulting and isolating Japan, pushing her onto the path of militarism and conquest
• The greatest mistake in British history: the unsolicited war guarantee to Poland of March 1939, ensuring the Second World War

Certain to create controversy and spirited argument, Churchill, Hitler, and “the Unnecessary War” is a grand and bold insight into the historic failures of judgment that ended centuries of European rule and guaranteed a future no one who lived in that vanished world could ever have envisioned.

I agree. Any country that spends more on its military than the next two or three countries combined, can’t have good intentions.

LOL. Touché.

The German occupation was a nuisance. Being made a part of the Soviet Union was hopelessness.

As far as the documentary, it's pretty raw. They talk to the civilians that lived there and witnessed a lot of what was done. The majority of them seem pretty indifferent to it all. Talks a lot about the kids being executed and has a lot of images that aren't real pleasant.

There are a few interviews with actual soldiers that did a lot of executions. They're not German though. Most of them were conscripted euro-trash and supervised by Nazi's.


one of the things brought out is that native populations in various countries were more than willing to assist or preform the actual work for the germans in exterminating jewish populations.
I am not jewish, but there are distant jewish connections in my polygot family . Last year i came across a picture of a train arriving at auschwitz, and the people being separated. One of the people in that picture was a lucy hershkowitz. Hershkowitz being the paternal name of my half sister who just passed away. A whole bunch of hershkowitz's died at auschwitz in the summer of 1944. Auschwitz is only about 70km north of my grandmothers village in northern slovakia. a lot of people died in addition to jews. Back in the 80's i got a letter from the bosnia area of the former yugoslavia from a cousin of my mother. A woman my mother hadn't seen since around 1914. She was a old woman at the time of the letter wanting help with a little money to buy a proper tombstone for her, husband and children. Husband and sons had been killed during the war.
That is the slovak side. Now then there is the german, with a name that traces back generations in germany, and was active in the national socialist party prior to the war. My research has pulled out a lot of high ranking nazi's. And i have had sit down discussions with old men, that at one time were in the SS, and in eastern europe during the war. At the time i was talking to them, they were gentle old men on the surface. As a youth in germany, i don't know and on the eastern front, i don't know. what i rassle with is when the russians came into germany on their march to berline they crossed westphalia and pomerania, the area that my german side lived in for at least eight generations after scotland. I shudder to think what they faced, paybacks are a bitch. But then i think what these groups did in central europe and russia, and understand motivation for what they did when their turn came going into germany. The one thing i DO know is the ordinary human being usually is the one that suffers.
And has far as harris and the british bombing, it is ironic the ties of the british royal family to germany and for that matter to the czar.

That said, if this is another attempt to dispel the kook notion Death Camps didn't kill that many jews, then don't bother.

i read the biography of the commander of auschwitz written by him while in prison waiting to be hanged. He mentioned nothing about being tortured.

Trying to draw a moral equivalence between bombing cities that had military objectives and where civilians die to the systematic extermination of an entire group of people by barbaric methods is as hollow and empty as the usual assertions by the revisionists.


Have you done much reading about how the German women were treated by the Russians after the war?

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2002/may/01/news.features11


yes i have, particularly since tracing family lineage to westphalia and pomerania, right in front of the russians march to berlin. For whatever reason to justify it, germany attacked their one time ally russia, and started the whole thing prior to the russians taking retribution. I have thought of it from the russian perspective, and can understand their wanting blood. i just found my eighth removed grandfather, a british admiral that settled in germany in the 1600's Hell, there is even a city with the family name in germany. He is now deceased but my former son in law's father was a machine gunner in the german army in central group. He was on a train to siberia at the end of the war, hotfooted it and eventually made his way to this continent. Had a lot of talks with him about his experiences. Its not real simple. When you were ordered to do something, you did it. otherwise you got shot, and so did your family. Quite a few germans were killed by germans on the way out of russia. None of this is relative to the content of that program, which shows mankind at its most barbaric. Didn't teach us much either, as episodes similar followed later in different countries.

The Russians were killing and enslaving their own people before the war.

It's what they did back then. Anyone who took on the Russians during the first half of the 20th century needed to bring their "A" game.

The world is still paying for Russia's victory in WW2 and it was made possible by FDR.

By the way,...when the allies landed on D-Day they were met by quite a few Russians mixed in with the Germans.

More than a few Russians had had enough of the Bolsheviks.

Posted By: Bristoe Re: Germany WWII - 06/10/19
As I've mentioned before,..my father in law was a Polish POW. My mother in law was taken from Belarus and sent to a German work farm. My father in Law ended up at the same work farm.

Know where they went after the war?

They stayed at the German work farm as long as possible,...which was several months.

They had to hide when the authorities came around or they would have been sent to a displaced person's camp and then sent back to their home countries. My Father in Law would have been under the Soviets if he had gone back to Poland and my Mother in Law stood the possibility of being killed by the Russians for being a collaborator if she had allowed herself to be sent back to Russia.

Both of them preferred staying with the German couple who owned the work farm. The German couple knew the situations they were facing and allowed them to stay. My in laws stayed in touch with them for many years and considered them close friends.

Stuff like that is what I heard from all of my old in laws who were there when it was going on.

Most Americans don't know of things like that.

Post war Europe was Mad Max land. A big part of the place had been blown to hell and gone. Nobody knew what to do with all of the displaced persons,..so many of them just roamed the countryside trying to keep fed,..and food was scarce.

Russians running around raping all of the German women.

My in laws were provided a safe haven at the work farm where they spent the war.

All things considered,..it was a good deal.

Facts really can’t be ignored. Britain and France declared war on Germany for invading Poland in compliance with their treaty with Poland while ignoring that Stalin also invaded Poland in violation of their treaty with Poland. Then, six years later and after 50 to a 100 million deaths, they willingly allowed Stalin to gobble up Poland and institute 45 years of unparralleled despotism, political persecution, and mass death. The Soviets didn’t even close down Auschwitz or lots of the other camps. They simply kept them open and filled them with political prisoners of the Communist regime.

You can attempt to explain them, qualify them, or insist that things are more complex. But at the heart of the matter, the things stated above are facts.

Easy with the all caps, no reason to stop being a lady.

My point is that if he continued to go east, and only east, nobody would have gave a fugk.



And your point is stupid because Britain and France had already declared war on him.

You're no better than communists. You willingly blind yourselves from fact.

Actually, I went to great lengths to provide documentation for my positions on much of what's being discussed here, but the thing is that back then it was easy for me to gather the documentation on Google and YouTube. But on that thread (the one I gave you a link to) I have quite a few posts that provide documentation for my positions. I typed them in, rather than just providing links, so most of it remains there. Had I just linked, they'd likely today all be dead links.

as did other German cities {and Japanese cities as well]

guys like Gunther and Erich and many other germans allowed the German war machine to advance and create

to operate then surely they were no better..?..they were all part of the one big nasty German war machine objective.

But some say to only punish the Einsatzgruppen head honchos, ..some say punish the whole EinsatzGruppen , ...some say

I tend to take more the perspective of those allied pilot vets I mentioned above who sincerely befriended some of the most
efficient and combat ruthless Axis warriors of the war ... and Ben Ferencz who selectively prosecuted the Einsatzgruppen.

but because I think more like Ben Ferencz and RoninPhx considers such mindsets belonging to dipSchitts
Then we can deduce Ron believes Ben was a dipSchitt. ..some might even say Ben was part nazi sympathiser

Can you believe YouTube deleted David Cole's documentary on Auschwitz? Someone else reposted it under a different title, however, that doesn't mention David Cole, so the ADL's AI algorithms haven't detected it yet for deletion. Watch it before the ADL discovers this copy of it and deletes it once again.

the facts are also after the war they dismembered prussia, where a lot of my people were. Now part of poland on one side, russia on the other.
I had a client once, now deceased, he was the honorary polish consul to phoenix.
in a younger age, he was in the polish calvary, for those who knew what that meant.
he escaped katyrn forest, if i spelled it right. interesting discussion on that one too, considering stalin and khruschev and other well known individuals were in that war in 1922 that didn't go so well for them and lenin.
no fan of the russians, hell they fought a war with russia in 1922 how many people knew that.
but no friend of the germans either.
I could get in a long discussion about it, i won't, but in discussing east west politics with a relative in croatia, i was told they built air force and army bases facing east and west, both fearing the russian bear, and the eagle.
What was one of many things that surprise me was the large slavic population in what use to be prussia, been there for hundreds of years.
i know a guy running a ethnic grocery store near me, he's from belerus. I need to ask him next time in there what he thought of the radiation from that nuclear plant in the ukraine that blew up his way. they gots good stuff in that store, big ol sardines, pop made from molasses, ethnic cheese and bread, lots of garlic stuff.

Spent some time with a late 80 year old Polish woman that some gypsies were targeting for theft. Never caught the gypsies but I got to listen to a few hours of stories of her time in Poland under the Nazis and then the Soviets. I asked her which one was better to live under and she replied "the same in different uniforms, not any difference."

She lived it, didnt read about it.

Some quotes regarding the Nuremberg Trials.

"The fact that the Nazi leaders are criminals has already been established [by their having been accused by this body]. The task of the Tribunal is only to determine the measure of guilt of each particular person and mete out the necessary punishment -- the sentences."

- Judge Iola T. Nikitchenko (vice-chairman of the Supreme Court of the USSR), announced at the opening of the Nuremberg Trial.

"The entire atmosphere here is unwholesome ... Lawyers, clerks, interpreters and researchers were employed who became Americans only in recent years, whose backgrounds were imbedded in Europe's hatreds and prejudices ... Most of the evidence in the trials was documentary, selected from the large tonnage of captured records. The selection was made by the prosecution. The defense had access only to those documents which the prosecution considered material to the case ... the trials were to have convinced the Germans of the guilt of their leaders. They convinced the Germans merely that their leaders lost the war to tough conquerors."

- Charles F. Wennerstrum, Iowa Supreme Court justice serving as presiding judge in the Nuremberg trial of German generals

"Jackson [Chief US prosecutor] is away conducting his high-grade lynching party in Nuremberg ... This is a little too sanctimonious a fraud to meet my old-fashioned ideas ... I wonder how some of those who preside at the trials would justify some of the acts of their own governments if they were placed in the status of the accused."

- US Supreme Court Chief Justice Harlan Fiske Stone

"The Nuremberg trials are so repugnant to the Anglo-Saxon principles of justice that we must forever be ashamed of that page in our history ... The Nuremberg farce represents a revenge policy at its worst."

- US Representative Lawrence H. Smith of Wisconsin

"As a representative of the American people I desire to say that what is taking place in Nuremberg, Germany, is a disgrace to the United States... A racial minority, two and a half years after the war closed, are in Nuremberg not only hanging German soldiers but trying German businessmen in the name of the United States."

- Congressman John Rankin of Mississippi

"The trial of the vanquished by the victors cannot be impartial no matter how it is hedged about with the forms of justice ... About this whole judgment there is the spirit of vengeance, and vengeance is seldom justice. The hanging of the eleven men convicted will be a blot on the American record which we will long regret. In these trials we have accepted the Russian idea of the purpose of trials -- government policy and not justice -- with little relation to Anglo-Saxon heritage. By clothing policy in the forms of legal procedure, we may discredit the whole idea of justice in Europe for years to come."

- US Senator Robert A. Taft

"The Nuremberg trial constitutes a real threat to the basic conceptions of justice which it has taken mankind thousands of years to establish."

- NYU Law Professor, Milton R. Konvitz

"I thought at the time and still think that the Nuremberg trials were unprincipled. Law was created ex post facto to suit the passion and clamor of the time."

TRH,

As far as those quotes are concerned I don't disagree with any of them. Everybody knows that those Neuremberg trials were just a big bullschit grandstanding and used as red meat for the Europeans. But, schit happens. Victors, spoils, yada, yada. But you'll never see me defending those trials. You'll also never find my admonishing our bringing SS officer's to the CONUS to work for us.

As far as that YouTube video... I don't where to start man. I gave it an honest to goodness 40 minutes and I'll finish it up tomorrow but that is one gigantic piece of fugking garbage.

For one thing it takes place during the time of contrarians realizing they can sell copies of their bullschit "expose" at gun shows for $40 a pop. For another it's conducted by a teenaged late bloomer that appears to be doing a 60's era impression of a diamond salesman.

He's interviewing tour guides. Do you know what tour guides do? Or get paid? They're not subject matter experts.

If you think that "supervisor" is some sort of authority on the ins and outs of the alleged holocaust, how can you discount all the other countless interviews of people that actually lived through the holocaust? This is a contradiction and makes you look foolish. You're admonishing thousands of accounts while accepting an un-vetted source from 1992 with a bad haircut and horrific shirt.

The lids were there, they weren't there... WTF? That kid isn't qualified to examine aerial footage. Do you have any idea how much qualified people are paid to review aerial footage from that era?

"lookout lids?" Uhhhh, that's not a thing my friend. I've been in bunkers. Never seen a "lookout lid". But if I ever did the first question out of my mind would be "Who is the dumb sumbtich up there taking the lid off and on so we can see if the bombers are coming?"

Sweet fugkin' Christ. I am an objective person and I don't mind reviewing other people's material but you need to cook up something better than that piece of garbage. That ain't evidence. That's comedy.

This is well documented. I guess you can start with David Irving's book on the subject.


I guess you can start with any of the Holocaust denial texts, you mean. Irving's book (and research) certainly suggests maltreatment of some Nazi prisoners, interrogation by "third degree", as it was called in those days; and it certainly suggests that Hoess's confession was likely coerced. However, Hoess's supposed recantation of the confession was hardly a denial of his involvement in the murders of Jews at Auschwitz.

I guess that you, TRH, like the leopard, cannot change your spots. You're still the antisemite conspiracy theorist you have ever been.

It's simple, in a war, people die, many of them unnecessarily. It's always been that way, always will.


You might want to google the word strategic.




Quite right.

It's interesting to read the history of the strategic bombing of Germany in WW2 as discussed by the proponents themselves before, during and after the War, and compare and contrast that with the opinions of modern-day commentators. Many of these latter people believe the (patently false) assertion popularized by anti-war voices in the 60's and 70's that there was no benefit to the strategic bombing initiative. They also somehow believe that civilian casualties were never accepted as one of the goals of the strategic bombing initiative. This is emphatically contradicted by the authors of the air war, from Hap Arnold and Carl Spaatz, right on down the line. Post-war analyses done in the late 40's and 50's showed that levelling Germany's industry, including the cities, was a necessary and effective means for shortening the war and reducing Allied casualties thereby. It would have taken until late 1946 or longer to defeat Germany if we hadn't bombed the living s h i t out of their cities.

Civilians worked in the factories, the railyards, the refineries, and all the other war industries. They worked in the factories and they lived nearby. The bombs that killed them in the factories during their shifts were no different in purpose than the bombs that killed them in their beds. Killing Germany's ability to make war was the goal. The destruction of Hamburg by firebombing was horrific, but justifiable under the strategic bombing doctrine of the day. The firebombing of Dresden is harder to justify, but under the rules they were using at the time, the Allied commanders considered it justified. If America had lost the war and American generals had been tried as war criminals, I'm sure they'd have been sentenced to death by a German court just as readily as the German generals were condemned at Nuremburg. That's the way wars end. The victors slaughter the vanquished.

By the way, punishing noncombatants has ever been a part of war. I recently finished a pair of books, one on the Plantagenet Dynasty, the other a biography of William Marshal, who served under Henry II of England. "Harrying the countryside" (slaughtering livestock, burning crops, murdering the peasants) was a common strategic initiative used in those days to destroy an opponent's ability to wage war. Warfare hasn't change all that much over the centuries.

I just love the way everyone in this thread has to cluck cluck and virtue signal their disapproval of someone who strays from the narrative.

WW II is the edifice upon which our entire modern world is built. If you question the official narrative, you question the foundation of everything today. As I see and learn how increasingly rotten and deceitful everything is in this world today, I increasingly have to examine official histories of the past.

I don’t buy it hook line and sinker. WW II is becoming a bit like the Civil War. Instead of time healing wounds and allowing more thorough and thoughtful research, things have hardened into accepted opinions and orthodoxy that stifle anything that even could conceivably threaten the orthodoxy.

And I’ve seen it change in my life. It used to be that Hitler killed a bunch of Jews in the course of the war. And I don’t for one second doubt that he did. I’m convinced that he did. But if you watch the History Channel or some other approved purveyor of official truth these days that is morphing and has morphed into teaching that the only reason Hitler went to war was because of his hatred of Jews.

Make Hitler and all Germans racist who want nothing more than to kill Jews. Make it so that the entire reason for the war was to kill Jews. Then call everyone a racist for anything. Don’t like immigration. You’re a racist. Think Muslims might want to kill some of us? You’re a racist. Are you white? You’re a racist. And if your a racist? Who else was a racist? Hitler that’s who. You’re like Hitler. And Hitler was the most evil man ever who just wanted to kill everyone who wasn’t white, so you must want that too since you are a racist and all racist are like Hitler.

If you like to read:

https://www.unz.com/proberts/the-lies-about-world-war-ii/

World War II was initiated by the British and French declaration of war on Germany, not by a surprise blitzkrieg from Germany. The utter rout and collapse of the British and French armies was the result of Britain declaring a war for which Britain was unprepared to fight and of the foolish French trapped by a treaty with the British, who quickly deserted their French ally, leaving France at Germany’s mercy.

Germany’s mercy was substantial. Hitler left a large part of France and the French colonies unoccupied and secure from war under a semi-independent government under Petain. For his service in protecting a semblance of French independence, Petain was sentenced to death by Charles de Gaulle after the war for collaboration with Germany, an unjust charge.

In Britain, Churchill was out of power. He figured a war would put him back in power. No Britisher could match Churchill’s rhetoric and orations. Or determination. Churchill desired power, and he wanted to reproduce the amazing military feats of his distinguished ancestor, the Duke of Marlborough, whose biography Churchill was writing and who defeated after years of military struggle France’s powerful Sun King, Louis XIV, the ruler of Europe.

In contrast to the British aristocrat, Hitler was a man of the people. He acted for the German people. The Versailles Treaty had dismembered Germany. Parts of Germany were confiscated and given to France, Belgium, Denmark, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. As Germany had not actually lost the war, being the occupiers of foreign territory when Germany agreed to a deceptive armistice, the loss of approximately 7 million German people to Poland and Czechoslovakia, where Germans were abused, was not considered a fair outcome.




You actually believe this chit?

Good post. While we hung the Nazis after the war was over, we willingly turned a blind eye to what "our" side had done, and still do.

It was no different in the War Between the States. In the border states, partisans fighting under the Confederate flag were executed when caught, while those fighting for the Union, who were just as guilty as those on the other side when it came to targeting civilians, were not. Just as in WW2, the winners wrote the history and decided what was fact what was not.

What, you think people believe that here?

I’m gonna propose another view: If you point out that the whole round up the Jews thing to be shot/gassed/whatever was probably about killing Jews then you must be cluck cluck virtue-signaling.

Same thing if you don’t think rounding up Jews to be killed is the same thing as area bombing by the Allies.

As far as that YouTube video... I don't where to start man. I gave it an honest to goodness 40 minutes and I'll finish it up tomorrow but that is one gigantic piece of fugking garbage.

For one thing it takes place during the time of contrarians realizing they can sell copies of their bullschit "expose" at gun shows for $40 a pop. For another it's conducted by a teenaged late bloomer that appears to be doing a 60's era impression of a diamond salesman.

He's interviewing tour guides. Do you know what tour guides do? Or get paid? They're not subject matter experts.

If you think that "supervisor" is some sort of authority on the ins and outs of the alleged holocaust, how can you discount all the other countless interviews of people that actually lived through the holocaust? This is a contradiction and makes you look foolish. You're admonishing thousands of accounts while accepting an un-vetted source from 1992 with a bad haircut and horrific shirt.

The lids were there, they weren't there... WTF? That kid isn't qualified to examine aerial footage. Do you have any idea how much qualified people are paid to review aerial footage from that era?

"lookout lids?" Uhhhh, that's not a thing my friend. I've been in bunkers. Never seen a "lookout lid". But if I ever did the first question out of my mind would be "Who is the dumb sumbtich up there taking the lid off and on so we can see if the bombers are coming?"

Sweet fugkin' Christ. I am an objective person and I don't mind reviewing other people's material but you need to cook up something better than that piece of garbage. That ain't evidence. That's comedy.

I made it pretty clear that if Hitler went east, nobody would have given a fugk.

He chose not to. His people supported it.

If you wanna pick a fight two times in a row, you better be capable of winning. Especially if you already got your ass stomped the first go around.

Needless to say, the 1,000 Year Reich missed the mark by a smidge and the only person at fault for that, is Germany.


In a nutshell. And BTW, my views on jews is well documented here. Just as they are for my opinion of Germans and to those who insist the Holocaust didn't happen, either have an agenda or lack the intellectual acumen to recognize the German's ability to accomplish a task.

So England and France, just twenty-one years after losing a whole generation of young men in the Great War, should have declared war on Germany AND Russia. Of course, being psychic, they knew going in what the scale of the conflict would actually turn out to be (Blitzkreig a surprise? Naah, that’s prob’ly Jewish propaganda) Of course, the voting public in both Britain and France would have fully supported the biggest war possible, so declaring war on Russia too would have received overwhelming public support.

Likewise the Allies WANTED Russia to take Poland after WWII because obviously we otherwise could have beaten Russia easily, Europe really wasn’t in that bad of a mess and the American, French and British people would have jumped right in and supported starting up another major war that could cost countless more lives.

Like most things, it depends on definitions. If the Holocaust was that Jews, among many others, suffered, and were held captive, and were mistreated by Germans, and died in great numbers (like many others held in the camps, most particularly during the last months and days), perhaps even exceeding two or three hundred thousand, some small percentage by actual intentional atrocity (particularly in the east), during WWII, then it most certainly happened. No one doubts that. Many civilians (not just Jews) suffered and died horrendously during that war, and all the nations involved had their share of the blame.
Posted By: Jim in Idaho Re: Germany WWII - 06/11/19
Tip toeing carefully into this cesspool overlaying a minefield of a thread, if anyone is interested in a decent movie about the whole killing Jews things I would recommend "Conspiracy" about the Wannsee conference in 1942 where the plans were laid for the final solution. From what I understand the screenplay is closely based on the actual minutes of the meeting, Germans being such thorough record keepers and all. It's interesting to see the various viewpoints from the lawyers worried about civil lawsuits and bureaucrats worried about the impact to production quotas from "deporting" so many Jewish workers, not to mention discussing the actual logistics of such an undertaking and the various means by which it could be accomplished.



As a personal adjunct to that, when I was stationed in West Berlin back in 1974 we had to attend a two day race relations seminar. It was held in the very same house where the Wannsee conference was held. Don't know if that was specifically chosen for the irony or not.

Are you sure you have the right name there? Charles Lindberg called for restraint to the point that he was considered a pacifist and the Army refused to take him back. He changed his position after the war started and certainly did his part within those limitations but to say he was chomping at the bit is not accurate. A very good read on Lindberg that included a lot of his Post-Paris flight life is The Aviators by Winston Groom.

No one, but the way you hammer anyone who questions the official approved narrative puts you in league with those who do.

This whole thread is about guys hammering the guy on here who questions the Holocaust. The Holocaust is all anyone talks about when they talk about WW II now. And it was a fricking sideshow. It was insignificant in the course of the war and fewer people died in it by a long shot than did in the last year of the war.

Well this is progress, in just one exchange we’ve recognized the role of internal politics in the foreign policy of a free nation.

“Britain” wasn’t a single entity deciding anything. In fact their Prime Minister at the time tried to appease Germany and likely would have stayed in office had Germany complied to any degree at all. Churchill at that time was a voice crying in the wilderness, and even when he got in office “Britain”, as reflected in those elected officials who were pacifists, very nearly folded and came to terms after the fall of France.

Having grown up in an England that was still England, I can state that WHY Churchill prevailed came from plain ol’ English pride and reluctance to admit defeat among the common people, even in the face of long odds.

“Encouraging Polish intransigence?” That’s right, the Poles brought it on themselves by acting in their own interests, likewise those encouraging Poland musta KNOWN Hitler was gonna invade crazy

Germany’s demands with regard to Poland before the war were quite rational. Danzig was a German seaport completely isolated and separated from the rest of Germany much like West Berlin later would be from the west. Germans WERE persecuted in Poland. Hitler wanted a corridor from Germany proper to Danzig. Poland repeatedly sought and obtained assurances from Britain and France that they would declare war on Germany if the matter led to a war with Germany.

Sure, no one will ever know for certain if Hitler would have been or even could have been appeased, but seeing as how things turned out, it certainly wouldn’t have been any worse for Poland or the world had their government been more rational on the issue. Without a doubt, Britain and France knew that they were in no position to provide any real help to Poland. Or at least, in the case of the 1939 French invasion of Germany, lacked the will to do much.

3. Hitler isn't such a bad guy, he's sexy and very articulate!
4. The Jews deserved everything they had comin to them, except it never really happened, cuz a terribly made video says so.
5. Germans were yodeling pacifists leading up to the war.
6. Only German civilians were targeted in the war.
7. Poland was really half German, half Russian anyway - treaties be damned!

That about right?

Why do you think ANYTHING shouldn’t allowed to be published and that it is a good thing if it isn’t?


Did you have a stroke recently?

You seem a little dumber than usual.

One serious question, TRH:

Do you teach and/or promote in any way your personal Holocaust denier, antisemitic opinions and reference these sources where you get your information to your young students in or outside of school hours?

I have no idea WTF you're babbling about at this point.

This thread was about a documentary regarding Nazi Death Squads. Some people want to claim they didn't exist.

They did.

Agree with your "hammering" analogy, suffice to say anybody who denied the Holocaust ever happened or characterizes mass exterminations, torture, mass murder and human experiments as "mistreating" SHOULD be hammered. Agreed on the sideshow issue. Had we loved the jews as much as we do now because its fashionable, we and every other country would not have kept that infamous ship full of jews from seeking asylum. Maybe the meskins can try that angle to get in if we build the wall.

Which brings me to the point I was making about everyone being a racist and everyone being Hitler now. Just yesterday, Cory Booker was at an event speaking about immigration and arguing for complete open borders and giving the keys to the kingdom to asylum seekers because we once turned away a ship with 500 Jews on it, some of whom, subsequently died in the Holocaust.

JoeBobs4Cock,

Did you watch this documentary?
Posted By: JoeBob Re: Germany WWII - 06/11/19
Seriously, why is it that the deaths of six million people are pretty much the focus of every discussion and every newly published material about a war where AT LEAST 55 million CIVILIANS died?

Hell, in the US we don’t even talk about India in the war very much and they lost around 3 million people in it. China lost 25 or 30 million. You will rarely see anything about those countries unless it is about the Rape of Nanking. The war in India and China would be the largest conflict in human history with the most casualties by itself and yet, we focus on six million people almost exclusively.

WWII was a product of the screwjob foisted on Germany at Versailles. Part of that was the whole Polish issue, specifically the Danzig Corridor which was an abomination. The allies were too stupid to realize Germans aren't like the french and even refused to help the Weimar Republic. The reparations were so egregious, they were to last into the 1980s..

The result was Hitler was able to capture a justified German nationalism and revenge for Versailles. All the frogs did was build that ridiculous Maginot line (proving once again their FEAR of the Germans that lasts to this day) and let Hitler take back the Rhineland, Austria and adding insult to cowardice and along with the Brits, let them have the Sudetenland. The jews were just a convenient (and to a certain extent justifiable) scapegoat to blame.

It's fun to argue "what ifs", all colored by our biases. Some say had Hitler just gone east WWII would not have happened. Maybe so, but anybody with a modicum of intelligence (thus leaving some here out of the discussion) think that we (US, the Brits, French, etc) could have lived in a world with an ever more powerful Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, well you're just plain stupid. And yes in the end, we just swapped the Nazis for the Soviets and spent another fifty years fighting the Cold War. But to say that Churchill WANTED war simply for personal glory, I find so insulting as to slug somebody in the face.

I hope you also realize that Nazi's were socialists just like Commies are, they just keep changing their names when people figure out what lies behind the veil. I for one am smiling at the fact that they have fertilized the European and Russian farmlands during that war.

I never quite understood the fascination some of you have for Nazi's and the erections you get for justifying their actions. Don't waste your time trying to find the post where I demonstrate any support for the ckocksuckers, there isn't one.

It’s really difficult to know the personal motivations of anyone about anything. But I will say that history has shown that politicians tend to confuse their own good and benefit with the good and the benefit of their countries on a regular basis. An altruistic politician is so rare as to be nonexistent in the pages of history.

So why is World War II different from practically every other war where people can rationally discuss the motivations and decisions of the various leaders on the various sides without being labeled all sorts of names. After all, most of us here were born after it happened and in another 50 years or so there will be very few alive who even knew a WW II veteran at some point in their lives. So why the vitriol?

You labeled me, incorrectly.

Anyone can read into whatever they want in this country or wherever they are, I don't really care. But I don't have to listen to them or take anything they say at face value - at least for now.

I have no vitriol.

This thread started out with interesting material and questions to follow the OP and then a few turn it into a Jew hating, Nazi sympathizing schittshow.

If you really believe the only material left to study about WW2 is limited to the holocaust, you're obviously willfully being ignorant. That is defined as stupidity. I believe it is the duty of those around such stupidity to kindly offer a rebuking or worse...been that way forever since Genesis.

Shalom!

Sure you have vitriol because you can’t even accurately or honestly respond to the question. You have to throw up the straw man that I said that the only material left to study is limited to the Holocaust. I never said that. I said that increasingly the Holocaust dominates every single discussion of WW II, that many newly written works revolve around it, and that popular organs of accepted thought such as the History Channel increasingly would have you believe that the only reason for the war was because Hitler wished to kill Jews.

There's vitriol surrounding every war.

WWII has more than others because Germany documented so much of it, so well.

There are loads of false information regarding the Holocaust and I do think it's important to educate your kids and others about those in accuracies. But you can do so without throwing a bunch of nonsense into the air and blathering like an idiot.

There exists a scumbag Hitler/Nazi admiring bunch of neo-Nazis called the Institute For Historical Review who are attempting to put a pretty face on Hitler and his murderous Nazis. They whine about US GIs killing SS troops while giving the murderous SS a pass on their atrocities.

The IHR says there were no crematoriums or gas chambers.

See, it’s stuff like this that allows the disinformation to creep in. Dachau was not an extermination camp for Jews. It was a concentration camp for political prisoners. The extermination camps were in the East. Dachau was just outside Munich. There were only (yeah I know) 32,000 documented deaths at Dachau. The Jews found at Dachau at the end of the war were transferred from the East ahead of the advancing Russians and the mounds of bodies were because those poor malnourished wretches from the East succumbed to a cholera and typhoid epidemic.

That is all documented and easily proved. And it also provides fodder for Holocaust deniers who can say that there never were any extermination camps when you throw around Dachau as an example of an extermination camp. The real extermination camps for the most part, were liberated by the Russians who hardly mentioned them at the time.

Posted By: Birdwatcher Re: Germany WWII - 06/11/19
Just a recommendation for JoeBob and such interested in WWII Aviation, in case they didn’t already know about this book. It’s a fiction novel but more than that, having been exhaustively researched by the author. Len Deighton’s “Bomber”, one of my all-time favorite books, tells the story of a single RAF Bomber Command mission in June of 1943, and tells the story of all involved, in both sides. Full of technical details about the Lancaster and the Luftwaffe night fighters hunting them.

Two thumbs up and then some 👍🏻👍🏻

I have no vitriol.

This thread started out with interesting material and questions to follow the OP and then a few turn it into a Jew hating, Nazi sympathizing schittshow.

If you really believe the only material left to study about WW2 is limited to the holocaust, you're obviously willfully being ignorant. That is defined as stupidity. I believe it is the duty of those around such stupidity to kindly offer a rebuking or worse...been that way forever since Genesis.

Shalom!


Sure you have vitriol because you can’t even accurately or honestly respond to the question. You have to throw up the straw man that I said that the only material left to study is limited to the Holocaust. I never said that. I said that increasingly the Holocaust dominates every single discussion of WW II, that many newly written works revolve around it, and that popular organs of accepted thought such as the History Channel increasingly would have you believe that the only reason for the war was because Hitler wished to kill Jews.



You remind me of a teenage girl that personalizes everything her boyfriend talks about.

Alright!

I'm guessing this is your question; I'm not sure, as it doesn't end in a ?:

"So why is World War II different from practically every other war where people can rationally discuss the motivations and decisions of the various leaders on the various sides without being labeled all sorts of names."

I answered with this:

"This thread started out with interesting material and questions to follow the OP and then a few turn it into a Jew hating, Nazi sympathizing schittshow.

I also said this:

"Anyone can read into whatever they want in this country or wherever they are, I don't really care. But I don't have to listen to them or take anything they say at face value - at least for now."

Then the second part of what you said, which btw had nothing to do with the OP, was this:

"After all, most of us here were born after it happened and in another 50 years or so there will be very few alive who even knew a WW II veteran at some point in their lives."

AAAAANNNNNNd you followed up with this:

"I said that increasingly the Holocaust dominates every single discussion of WW II, that many newly written works revolve around it, and that popular organs of accepted thought such as the History Channel increasingly would have you believe that the only reason for the war was because Hitler wished to kill Jews."

Which has nothing to do with the OP and demonstrates you were REALLY doing this:

"This thread started out with interesting material and questions to follow the OP and then a few turn it into a Jew hating, Nazi sympathizing schittshow." (I said that - which actually did answer the question!)



So, even though the point you're really trying to make, which has nothing to do with the OP, is that the Jews are rewriting WW2 history to fit the holocaust narrative.

So, I stand corrected and realize you're pusssy is really sore that I left your point off the list from the others creating a schittshow. I'll make the correction so you can now be happy about being a part of the Bande:

Ok, TRH, Bristoe and JoeBob be like:

1. Allies are the real aggressors.
2. Churchill is a meanie.
3. Hitler isn't such a bad guy, he's sexy and very articulate!
4. The Jews deserved everything they had comin to them, except it never really happened, cuz a terribly made video says so.
5. Germans were yodeling pacifists leading up to the war.
6. Only German civilians were targeted in the war.
7. Poland was really half German, half Russian anyway - treaties be damned!
8. Them filthy Jews are rewriting history

Feel better now?


Oh, since I can't help myself, you do have a major problem with the Jewish Revisionism theory: We also fought the Imperial Japanese in that war and as far as I know there is a TON of footage regarding such information that the "holocausters" have yet to rewrite!

As a result of the policy of Glasnost, in the late 1980s, Russia released the Auschwitz death records, meticulously kept by the Germans during its entire period of operation, which revealed that more Roman Catholics died there than Jews. The vast majority of both died of typhus, as indicated on the camp death certificates.

Naturally, this received no media coverage, but you can personally peruse these Russian-released German records at the New York Public Library.

Total deaths recorded at Auschwitz, Jews and non-Jews together, are on the order of 150,000. No wonder the Soviets chose not to release the information after the war, nor till 40 some odd years later, and then only quietly.

There exists a scumbag Hitler/Nazi admiring bunch of neo-Nazis called the Institute For Historical Review who are attempting to put a pretty face on Hitler and his murderous Nazis. They whine about US GIs killing SS troops while giving the murderous SS a pass on their atrocities.

The IHR says there were no crematoriums or gas chambers.

No one even claims there were homicidal gas chambers at Dachau. It was a disaster when liberated because, due to conditions of war at the time, it was about ten times overcrowded, without water, food, pesticide, or medicine, resulting in mass deaths from typhus, thus all the emaciated dead bodies of varied ethnicity.

The news media, owned and run lock, stock, and barrel, by the Jews and the Communists have succeeded in making one thing, and one thing only, the focal point of WW2.........the supposed death of 6 million Jews, aka the Holocaust. Nothing else matters.

The fact that the 6 million number is probably too high, matters not.

The fact that untold millions of other people died at the hands of people that were supposed to be our allies, matters not.

The fact that "our" side was every bit as dishonest and deceiving about events that happened, matters not.

There is too much evidence, fully documented, that shows that Jews were targeted by the Nazis for extermination.....sorry TRH, they were....but so were many other groups of people. The Nazis were ruthless, but not as much as the Soviets, who's record of putting people to death makes the Germans look like amateurs. Yet, because we won, the truth about civilian deaths has been hidden so as to allow the Jews to make sure that "theirs" is the only one that matters......and many of you fools on here have swallowed their story as the whole truth and nothing but.

That is hyperbole.
Posted By: RoninPhx Re: Germany WWII - 06/11/19
there is another program, narrated by a british history professor, that goes into what is called "the great war." WWI. And WWII being a continuation of that war. His conclusion as i heard it was the futility and waste of WWI, and from the german perspective, there was an armistice where their politicians betrayed them when they were not yet beaten in the field.
I pull little tidbits out of all this stuff.
Now i have a smith and wesson tripple lock, one of 5000 called the mark one, made fourth quarter of 1915. It bears a scottish captains name who died during the battle of the somme. He is buried at freicourt peakwood cemetery northern france. I have researched his background including correcting some misinformation at the university of scotland. A couple of things i picked up from this WWI program. The british have an extensive cemetery management program in belgium and france. Immaculately maintained. reason? they did not want to pay for shipment of all those bodies back home to the local district, or the unhappyiness that would result. They, the upper class had just given the vote to the british people right after WWI, you had communism sweeping europe, and socialism, and they were afraid of rocking the boat. Ordinary soldiers were NOT allowed to take guns home, officers could take a personal sidearm, but no ammo, and it had to be registered. The british passed some rather restrictive gun legislation in or around 1920, again afraid of armed commoners as much as anything, and that's when this particular revolver made it's way back to the U.S.
back to the original topic, sort of, since i posted it. I have always felt normandy, as important as it is, has overshadowed the conflict in the east with all it's little loops and turns. Worth delving into.
Here's is another one. We were shipping tanks, sherman's, to the russians which all had thompson submachine guns inside. But no ammo.
so these nice thompsons ended up in a warehouse for many years, moved to croatia i believe a few years ago, then imported back into this country. Some ended up in arizona. I was at the place they ended up in arizona the day after the atf was there witnessing the torch cut of the guns. having done that they became parts kits, which you could get all the parts to a thompson, except the bad parts, basically brand new.
I find that fascinating the chain of events.
I find motivation something to look into as in support for hitler, or other types. I know my paternal name is an old one in germany and had a
"von" in front of it until 1918 when the nobility was abolished. There was certain benefits of having a "von" in your name that went away.
And that could be a reason in exploring the family connections, so many were supportive of adolph in wanting those benefits back.
I just recently inherited a 100 000 mark german bank note from memory 1923. Showed it to the kids, and said in the 20's a wheelbarrow of those would buy you a loaf of bread. And you wonder why hitler got support? The treaty of 1918 strangled germany, hitler offered an alternative and one of the things that documentary brought out was the active cooperation of native populations in the east helping the germans with the animosity towards jews, gypies, and other "undesireables." It also brought out to me what man is capable of doing, and even doing during the right circumstances here.
And, i have read, a couple of times, hitler's book, mein kamph. I seem to remember a email acquaintence telling me it was banned these days in germany. As is a bunch of other stuff, which is collectible here. People a long time ago should have more widely read it, hitler wasn't shy with his intentions.
prussia was zero'd out after the conclusin, official conclusion that is, of WWII. part of it in the west became part of poland, and in the east part of russia. I have been wasting my time exploring those old parts of prussia where i know family had land once upon a time, and what happened to it.
Memories last a long time which plays into a lot of this. A client of mine came into the office, an elderly lady. She said her kids thought her crazy, she wanted to move back to estonia. You see, when the germans came in, as a little girl she remembers being evacuated in a horse drawn cart. they came to america. She said now, the damn russians had her family house She wanted it back Needless to say, she was not fond of germans or russians.
It's another topic for another day, but those concentration camps went both ways. I personally know an elderly austrian woman, who as a young girl spent the war years in a camp for german outside of belgrade, in serbia, which is where she was born She got lucky and survived it

james, i find myself agreeing with you through the months more times than not.
Uncle stalin was as much evil incarnate as was hitler.
The soviets did it the easy way, they just starved a bunch of people. The ukraine starts just a few miles away from my grandmother's place of birth in slovakia.

the germans had specially detailed troops following their army's to shoot or hang army personel they thought had run away, the russians did the same thing.
again, moving from the original topic, but related, we were not blameless either. I have talked personally to veteran's of the pacific talking about having contests in shooting shipwrecked japanese sailors in the water, considered kind of a game. But as one of them said, we won the war so we write the history books.

Arguably the most disastrous decision in recent world history was Wilson’s to enter WW I. Because of the American Declaration, the Germans knew that their only hope was to win before American troops arrived in enough numbers to swing the tide. The only way for them to do that was to knock Russia out of the war and bring those troops to the West. So, they put Lenin on a train to Russia just a few days after America declared war.

Possibly without America getting in the war there would have been no Communist Russia, no revolutions sweeping Europe, Germany could have held on for a negotiated peace, and the entire century since would have been completely different and better.

Ron, the only point I've tried to make in my posts on this thread has been that the Nazis were not the only criminals in WW2. Stalin's, and later on Mao's, policies that led to the deaths of millions of innocent peoples, resulted in far more deaths than the Germans could muster. But, because of the Jew's insistence that the Holocaust must be the only one that matters, the world cares very little about anything else.

I attended schools from 2nd grade on in Chicago. The high school I went to (early '60s) had a significant percentage of Jewish students, many of whom had parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles that had been held in Nazi death camps. Sometimes in study hall and at lunchtime they would tell us other kids stories their relatives that survived told them about the horror, torture, inhumanity and genocide they witnessed and experienced first hand as Jewish prisoners inflicted by Nazi troops in Nazi death camps.

A neighbor, young Jewish woman, friend of my wife, her mother had been held prisoner along with other family members of her's in Nazi death camps as a child. I saw the fading tattooed serial ID numbers on her elderly mother's forearm with my own eyes. She also told pretty much the same stories of what her mother said she saw and had endured at the hands of the Nazis.

With the surrender of the German Sixth army in early February, 1943 and the defeat at Kursk in August, 1943 the German military was steadily defeated by the Russian army. Despite the realization they were losing the war, the Hitler and his Nazis squandered scarce transportation resources and military personnel in murdering the Jews.

It's merely a citation to a book written in the 1980s containing a statement by a British sergeant who admits to torturing a confession from Rudolf Höss, and threatening reprisals against his family should he refuse to confess operating a death camp. You don't need to consider me a credible source for that to be persuasive.

The evidence was in black and white and signed. The Germans were meticulous record keepers and their attention to detail sealed their fate. Literally tons of documents that spelled it out plainly and accounted for virtually every victim were more than enough evidence to convict the accused. A confession is NOT required for conviction, the millions of pages of documents were more than enough evidence for a conviction. None of those on trial ever denied that it happened or denied their role in it they merely used the “I was ordered to do it” defense. None of the accused expressed any remorse but rather they said they’d do it again “to my own sister if ordered”.

TRH, I find myself in agreement with you often and I think you’re a gentleman of the first order. Your statement above is beyond inaccurate and it highlights how little understanding you have on this subject. While it’s true that Dachau wasn’t an “extermination camp” in the way that Auschwitz-Birkenau was that doesn’t mean that there wasn’t gas chambers at Dachau.

Auschwitz wasn’t the biggest death factory in terms of people murdered, Treblinka was. Treblinka was small in size compared to Auschwitz because it wasn’t meant to house people it was meant to kill them. 90%+ of those taken to Treblinka were dead within 2 hours of arriving there.

Auschwitz, 437,402 Hungarian Jews were killed between May 14th and July 8th, 1944. Yeah those Germans were just a bunch of fun loving guys looking to have a great time..

If any were gassed at Dachau it wasn’t many. Only 31,951 people died at Dachau with 15,000 of those being from November 1944 to the end of the war.

Jews were sent to Treblinka II on trains, told they were simply going to a transit camp before being sent on to a new life in eastern Europe. The deception was elaborate: Nazis erected a fake train station in the remote spot, complete with false ticket-counter and clock.

"There was an orchestra set up near the reception area of the camp to play," Colls told Live Science. "It was run by a famous composer at the time, Artur Gold."

Gold, a Jewish violinist from Warsaw, was kept alive at Treblinka both to entertain the Nazi guards and to run the orchestra. He died at the camp in 1943.

Yep them Nazis were great guys..

Oh ok all if forgiving then. lets pretend this didn't happen then or lets just downplay it. Of all the atrocities of Hitler's Third Reich, Treblinka is one of the most mind-boggling. Historians estimate that about 900,000 Jews were murdered at this concentration camp in Nazi-occupied Poland over a mere 16 months
Posted By: AcesNeights Re: Germany WWII - 06/11/19
In 1942 over 1.2 million were killed between Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sobibór, Belzek and Majdanek. Treblinka was responsible for over 700,000 in 1942 alone. It’s all documented at that time and by the murderers themselves.

I didn’t comment on any of that at all and didn’t dispute it. I merely pointed out the numbers at Dachau and it’s 100 sub camps. In fact, Americans tried to figure out for themselves of the numbers killed at Dachau from January 1945 to the end of the war and came up with 500 fewer than the Germans themselves did.

Yeah because they shipped most if not all of them to Poland to be executed. I truly don't understand you, you downplay oh only 31,951 died at this camp so yeah the Germans weren't that bad. what is is wrong with you.. the allies were not systematically lining people up and shipping them off to be gassed.

WTF is wrong with you.. the allies were not systematically lining people up and shipping them off to be gassed.


Where did I say that the Germans weren’t that bad? And I don’t recall mentioning bombing at all except to point out that Curtis LeMay himself said that he would have been tried as a war criminal had the US lost the war.

But here is a thought question for you. Everyone in this thread has pretty much taken the position that bombing civilians was okay because they were the enemy and that even as civilians, they were legitimate targets for bombing. So, how is that different with regard to the German position on the Jews? If killing defenseless women and children by dropping bombs on them is perfectly acceptable in war because they are the enemy, then why is not okay to shoot them or gas them for the same reason? Does the manner of killing make a difference?

And if you think that I’m saying this to make excuses for the Germans, I’m not at all.

JoeBob, I agree that “it wasn’t many” that were gassed, hung, shot or otherwise murdered at Dachau, it wasn’t the type of camp that Treblinka was but it is a good and living representation of the atrocities that happened albeit on a much smaller and more “civilized” scale. 😉

I can tell you that being there was an extraordinarily moving experience for me and I don’t have any personal affection for Jews, gypsies or homosexuals.. My affections are for humanity and to that extent I’m not ashamed to admit that I cried. No innocent person of any religion or persuasion should suffer the kind inhumanity that those camps brought down upon them.

Oftentimes when discussing this atrocity we focus on those that died there and forget about those that survived. Those that were raped, starved and tortured or those that survived the horrors of their experiments are considered “lucky”. The pain that the living and dead suffered is beyond my comprehension as is my ability to understand how one human being can to do such grotesque things to another human being.

JoeBob, Your attempt at drawing a moral equivalence between bombing and the systematic extermination of millions of men, women and children in gas chambers or firing squads or the smashing of infants against a light post is ridiculous. Jorge addressed the strategic goal of the bombing campaign. I’m sure that if “we” had the choice back then we would’ve preferred that the only deaths would’ve been those of enemy combatants. In a “perfect war” there’d be no civilian casualties but there’s no such thing. We didn’t want to kill innocent French civilians, we weren’t at war with France but dropping bombs in our attempt to soften the German defenses in prelude to our landing in Normandy meant that many civilians died. That’s the terrible thing about war, innocent people die. The death of civilians in war is inevitable and is, in and of itself, not a war crime. Targeting ONLY innocent civilians, civilians in the “care and custody” of the military is a crime and the Germans turned that into an art form.

I’m not attempting to draw a moral equivalence except for those who, as I said justified the killing of civilians based on the fact they were our enemies and that either directly or indirectly aided the war effort against us. If that is the standard, then what is the difference?

The fact that "our" side was every bit as dishonest and deceiving about events that happened, matters not.

There is too much evidence, fully documented, that shows that Jews were targeted by the Nazis for extermination.....sorry TRH, they were....but so were many other groups of people. The Nazis were ruthless, but not as much as the Soviets, who's record of putting people to death makes the Germans look like amateurs. Yet, because we won, the truth about civilian deaths has been hidden so as to allow the Jews to make sure that "theirs" is the only one that matters......and many of you fools on here have swallowed their story as the whole truth and nothing but.


james, i find myself agreeing with you through the months more times than not.
Uncle stalin was as much evil incarnate as was hitler.
The soviets did it the easy way, they just starved a bunch of people. The ukraine starts just a few miles away from my grandmother's place of birth in slovakia.


Ron, the only point I've tried to make in my posts on this thread has been that the Nazis were not the only criminals in WW2. Stalin's, and later on Mao's, policies that led to the deaths of millions of innocent peoples, resulted in far more deaths than the Germans could muster. But, because of the Jew's insistence that the Holocaust must be the only one that matters, the world cares very little about anything else.

one of the reasons for posting on that documentary was the point made that the germans had a lot of helpers in the various countries much more than willing to do the dirty work for them. stalin's stupidity in wiping out the russian officers corp prior to the war, and willingness to use human wave tactics resulted in a lot of deaths. hitler to me is just another version of stalin.

The IHR says there were no crematoriums or gas chambers.


See, it’s stuff like this that allows the disinformation to creep in. Dachau was not an extermination camp for Jews. It was a concentration camp for political prisoners. The extermination camps were in the East. Dachau was just outside Munich. There were only (yeah I know) 32,000 documented deaths at Dachau. The Jews found at Dachau at the end of the war were transferred from the East ahead of the advancing Russians and the mounds of bodies were because those poor malnourished wretches from the East succumbed to a cholera and typhoid epidemic.

That is all documented and easily proved. And it also provides fodder for Holocaust deniers who can say that there never were any extermination camps when you throw around Dachau as an example of an extermination camp. The real extermination camps for the most part, were liberated by the Russians who hardly mentioned them at the time.

i don't think that is entirely correct. russians were talking, nobody was listening. I also seem to remember roosevelt recieving data much earlier in the war on these camps and chosing to ignore it.

one of the interesting things in the biography of the commander of auschwitx is his children who lived with his wife at a house next to the camp.
daughter eventually made her way to the United States, with her mother, and lived in the Washington D.C. area for many years. Working for a high end fashion house, dealing with Mrs, clinton, and other prominent policitians and their wives. I believe she is actually buried in virginia.
People knew who she was.
the irony is the people that owned the business she worked for for so many years were jews, that knew of her background, but chose to just not penalize her because of it.

Genocide was first recognized in the context of war... the word was invented by Lemkin to describe atrocities against civilians under
Axis Rule in Occupied Europe (the title of his foundational 1944 book). As he described it, genocide was;

- “a concentrated and coordinated attack upon all the elements of nationhood among the various occupied peoples.
Genocide was a warlike campaign, occurring in the context of war, but fundamentally opposed to legitimate warfare" -


Wars of extermination occurred in ancient times and Middle Ages, with now the legitimate conception of war deemed as being
essentially limited to activities against armies and states.

Massacre and extermination [now modernly termed genocide], was a legitimate and not uncommon approach to warfare for millennia.

For millennia there was no such thing known as 'genocide', waring armies targeted and killed civilian populations
along with military combatants as part of regular and widely accepted war strategy.

Come 1944, Raphael Lemkin created the term genocide in his book 'Axis Rule in Occupied Europe'

so the actions of Einsatzgruppen in Poland since 1939 and then the Eastern campaign, only later came
to be known as genocide.

Germany didn't only target civilians when entering Poland and didn't only target civilians in the Eastern Front campaign.

The small number of Einsatzgruppen security forces had their job to do while the army with millions of men did theirs.

1.5 million Germans swept into Poland, and 3.8 Million men began the Eastern offensive.

all those millions 'targeting ONLY innocent civilians'..?...where did you learn this?

Most of us have grown up believing that WW2 was not just the Allies versus the Axis, but good against evil. While we've all heard about the bad things the Germans and the Japanese did, and make no mistake about it, they did, we've been led to believe that our side was like the knight in shining armor, who rode to the rescue. While the history books are full of what the Axis powers did to innocent civilians, there's nary a word about anything the Allies did, and there are reasons for that.

We can blame the Germans for killing Jews and anyone else they didn't like, and say it was wrong. But, we just can't bring ourselves to say that our practice of "strategic" bombing resulted in the killing of thousands of civilians who were every bit as innocent as those civilians the Nazis were killing.

My biggest complaint about all of this has been the fact that the sins of Stalin and the Soviets have been swept under the rug, because they were on our side, and are rarely mentioned, while we are constantly reminded that we can't say anything negative about the Holocaust. There are a good many posters on here who will jump all over anyone who questions the account of the Holocaust, yet remain totally mum about ole Joe Stalin and what he did.......and it is pretty well documented that we KNEW what he was doing.

This is one of those things that we all have differing opinions about, as to what did or didn't happen, and whether it can be considered right or wrong. I don't see anyone changing anyone else's mind.

Don't forget Ike, who murdered millions of Germans after the war, about a million by trapping German POWs inside an outdoor barbed wire enclosure till they died of disease, starvation, exposure, and dehydration, while food, potable water, shelter, and medicine was in overabundant supply. This was intentional murder, while over 95% of the US, French, and British, POWs held by the Germans survived the war due to the Germans sticking meticulously to the Geneva Convention.

After the war ended, we also turned over thousands of Germans, as well as people who had fled from the Soviets, back to the Soviets, and justified it because we'd made a deal how we'd handle postwar Europe. We did this, even though we knew what the fate of those people would be. Yep, the good ole United States willingly sent people to their deaths just so we could please Stalin.

ANYBODY that thinks the Holocaust didn't happen pretty much as advertised either has an agenda, has no clue as to the efficiency, ingenuity of the Germans or is a fuggin' moron. i've been privy to official captured German documents cataloging deaths almost to the exact number, particularly in the camps and dissected by many different categories, not just jews. homos, gypsies, retards, etc. I don't have the exact number in my head, but the figures I saw were around the 5.8 million and change mark. The Holocaust was a sideshow of the horror show that was this war that in the end, we (the West) really came out on the losing end of the stick Hell, Stalin took and held most of Europe until the 90s not to mention the dozens of proxy wars all over the globe and trillions spent in blood and treasure.

At the beginning of WW2, Germany's population was about 85 million people. The highest number of members the Nazi Party had was 8.5 million, so approximately 1 in every 10 Germans belonged to the Nazi Party. As far as the German military went, most were not members of the Nazi Party.

So, yes, I think it's safe to say that were millions of innocent German civilians.

I don't know that's what anyone is saying. The point that I, and others, have tried to make is that just as the Nazis sent innocent people to their deaths (the Jews, for instance), so did the Allies, in the form of the unnecessary bombing of German cities, and the turning a blind eye to what Stalin was doing.

Is that so hard to see? If it is, then it's proof that the Jews and Communists succeeded in their attempt to whitewash things in order to make sure that the Holocaust is all that matters.

One point that seems to be lost is that in warfare the object is to destroy the enemy's will and capacity to conduct warfare and sustain resistance, while the object of genocide is to exterminate an ethnic group. Why the difference is so hard to grasp is beyond me.

The Allies were not trying to exterminate Germans, they were trying to militarily defeat them. The Nazis were indeed engaged in a campaign to exterminate the Jews. Had the Third Reich survived and succeeded in their plans, there is no doubt that campaign would have continued in order to accomplish their Final Solution.

Bombing German industrial centers did result in civilian deaths, but that was in NO WAY as heinous as the systematic genocide the Germans were conducting.

Does anyone think for one minute that the Germans or the Japanese would have hesitated for a moment to level all of Seattle Wa, home of Boeing.

Or any other city involved in production of war materials?

The only thing which saved American cities from destruction by bombers was 1000s of miles of ocean and no bombers capable of reaching us.

Likewise every German and Japanese adult civilian was contributing to the war effort of their respective nation.

From the farmers growing food to feed soldiers and factory workers, to the men and women turning bolts on the assembly lines where the tanks and trucks are built. There are no innocent civilians in a nation at war.

No, I have no problem with the bombing of Dresden, or Berlin, or any of the many Japanese cities leveled by fire bombing, or even Horoshima and Nagasaki.

Every dictator needs a target to aim the hatred of his people toward. America's left is using gun owners and the wealthy as targets.

Hitler used the Jews, with the added benefit that he was able to steal all of their wealth to drive his war effort.

What happened to the Jews was not warfare, and it sure as hell was not defense of home and nation.
Posted By: AcesNeights Re: Germany WWII - 06/12/19
IdahoShooter, Good post and you are correct about nations at war. American POW’s of the Japs were spit on, taunted and worse by Jap civilians including school aged children. They’d have been perfectly happy inflicting pain or death upon our POW’s if given the chance. Their superiority complex was rivaled only by the nazis.

One didn’t need to be a card carrying member of the Nazi Party to support them. Many many Germans supported the Nazis but weren’t “in the Nazi Party”.

I can tell you that being there was an extraordinarily moving experience for me and I don’t have any personal affection for Jews, gypsies or homosexuals.. My affections are for humanity and to that extent I’m not ashamed to admit that I cried. No innocent person of any religion or persuasion should suffer the kind inhumanity that those camps brought down upon them.

Oftentimes when discussing this atrocity we focus on those that died there and forget about those that survived. Those that were raped, starved and tortured or those that survived the horrors of their experiments are considered “lucky”. The pain that the living and dead suffered is beyond my comprehension as is my ability to understand how one human being can to do such grotesque things to another human being. God forbid you were a child with a twin brother or sister, your short life would likely end slowly and painfully.



I’ve been there. It’s a few miles from Munich.

It’s a fair question and based upon your posts on this thread I think we all know what your answer would be but it’s only fair to give you the opportunity to answer it for yourself.

Because I agree with the decision to implement Sherman's March to the Sea as a part of the North's strategy I must agree with the implementation of Nazi Death Squads in WWII.

That makes a lot of sense.

The mother had taken the boy to England and raised him there. But the boy went back to Germany in the mid thirties hoping to ride the coat tails of his uncle's success. But the boy proved to be an embarrassment to dear Uncle Adolf.

Instead of having his nephew killed, Adolf sent him home to England. By 1941, the boy had immigrated to America. And I think it was mentioned that he was given a position in the Navy and used for propaganda purposes through the war.

They tracked down four late middle aged Hitler brothers still living in America. The program claimed that all had made a joint vow to die childless so that the family would die out.

The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender because of the effective sea blockade and the successful bombing with conventional weapons."
(William D. Leahy, I Was There, pg. 441).

"in being the first to use it, we had adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages"
(William D. Leahy, I Was There, pg. 441).

effectively LeMay didn't consider the targeted destruction of civilians by allied war efforts as morally superior to the enemies,

and Leahy using the term 'barbarians of the Dark Ages' in his mind effectively put the Allies on par with the Nazis when it came
to the military willingness to target civilians.

no doubt their views are at odds with some of the posters on this thread.

It was the opinion of one of my college history professors (advanced US History) that the real reason for dropping the A Bombs on Japan was to show the Soviet Union that we actually had such a weapon.

That was definitively a factor. Bit the over-riding reason was the huge cost in American lives to take that place, especially after our experiences in Iwo Jima and Okinawa

Let's see what the historical think tank that is the 'Fire holds for us today.

With the battles of the South Pacific fresh in their minds the idea of something other than an invasion probably seemed like a good idea. Also, I doubt many really understood what an atom bomb would be the way we do today.

Hearing my grandfather talk about arriving at Dachau with no idea what it was is certainly different than having the war and concentration camps all in context.

There is no way we can have the same perspective today in order to make value judgements on the decisions made then.

The reasoning behind the atom bomb drops was multi-faceted.

It would be next to impossible to have convinced anyone to NOT drop those bombs.

Which brings up again the point that what is and isn’t a war crime is almost entirely determined by who wins the war.

I guess the numbers go like this. 2 bombs killed about 200,000 japs. Another estimate it would have taken about 200,000 US lives to defeat the japs.
US did lose 400,000 in WW2, so another 200,000 is a significant number. Of course additional wounded and associated price. And of course the logistic cost of ordinance.
And important at that point in time, the US citizen was not interested in the nobility of war, the reality set in. So President Truman had zero options just based on those facts.
Posted By: JoeBob Re: Germany WWII - 06/13/19
Had we in the summer of 1945 allowed thr Japs to surrender with a guarantee of keeping the emperor, they most likely would have almost immediately. As it was, we pressed for unconditional surrender and then one of the first things MacArthur did was to allow them to keep the emperor.

"If you like your emporer, you can keep your emporer". Old Doug knew how to turn a phrase.

Plus everyone wanted to see what it would do.

Plus we wanted the world to know we had it.

Just imagine Preident Truman saying, "Well, I decided not to drop the bombs on the cities. I decided to invade Japan instead, even though our military was estimating the invasion would result in 750,000 casualties among our troops."

I would not wanted to be one of President Truman's lawyers at his impeachment trial.

Imagine him saying neither thing and saying instead, “We will blockade Japan until her people die of starvation or demand her government surrender.”

I can tell you that being there was an extraordinarily moving experience for me and I don’t have any personal affection for Jews, gypsies or homosexuals.. My affections are for humanity and to that extent I’m not ashamed to admit that I cried. No innocent person of any religion or persuasion should suffer the kind inhumanity that those camps brought down upon them.

Oftentimes when discussing this atrocity we focus on those that died there and forget about those that survived. Those that were raped, starved and tortured or those that survived the horrors of their experiments are considered “lucky”. The pain that the living and dead suffered is beyond my comprehension as is my ability to understand how one human being can to do such grotesque things to another human being. God forbid you were a child with a twin brother or sister, your short life would likely end slowly and painfully.



I’ve been there. It’s a few miles from Munich.


Did it not move you? What emotions, if any, did you feel?


It’s a fair question and based upon your posts on this thread I think we all know what your answer would be but it’s only fair to give you the opportunity to answer it for yourself.
Posted By: JoeBob Re: Germany WWII - 06/13/19
Of course, I wasn’t moved. I’m a schitty person. Happy now?
