  1. He sure saw you coming when the shop owner made that claim! Some people will believe anything!

  2.  @somethingelse4424  You would be wrong. I'm a retired Professional Engineer, with a private practice until my retirement. I use my education and experience to question certain alleged historical occurrences. If those alleged occurrences defy scientific or engineering principles, I question the validity of those occurrences. For other allegations I read books that by and large you will not find in your average book store. I have read sufficient material over the last 30 years that I can state without reservation that everything one sees/reads/hears in the mass media about Germany and the two WW, the exact opposite is much closer to the truth.

  3.  @somethingelse4424  The bodies were real. Germany was bombed to smithereens and there were bodies everywhere. It was easy to assemble piles of bodies for show purposes. After the cease fire bodies were found in camps that had died of disease and starvation. The constant allied bombings destroyed the sully lines.

  5.  @theophrastus3.056  I was referring to Germany and USSR attacking Poland at the same time. So you are saying that Germany willy nilly, for no reason at all, marched into Poland??? There were complex issues for this. Suggest you read Polish Atrocities Against the German Minority in Poland. This was in areas that had been German until after WWI.

  7.  @joejohnson4183  St Tropez was in Vichy France, ie. that part of France that was not occupied by Germany. So how could the shop keeper claim, with a straight face, that during the war some Brits saved his family from Nazis?

  8.  @FloatingOer  OK. Good point. Nonetheless, everybody is a hero as things get exaggerated decades later.

  9.  @joejohnson4183  Sorry to disappoint you, but I lead a very happy life in a beautiful home with my wife. It's because of my parents' origins that i take a serious interest in the allegations made about Germany: Just a lot of arm-waving, crocodile tears, synthetic outrage. Nary one iota of verifiable forensic evidence.

  10.  @joejohnson4183  I am on the side of justice. Injustices of any kind have bothered me since childhood. My cynicism grew from my observations of the modern world, where the mass media's attention is always turned to those who cry "wolf" the loudest.

  11.  @joejohnson4183  Incontrovertible, verifiable, evidence.

  12.  @xavierkreiss8394  He should have given the French the finger. It was France that declared war on Germany, and invaded first.

  13.  @rachelsombo9045  Surprised?

  15. You are one sick puppy! Has anyone ever told you that France (and Britain) declared war on Germany, and invaded first? Perhaps you ignoramus would have rolled over???

  16.  @thecoffeebreakclub8138  Talk is cheap. If you seriously accuse someone, verifiable evidence of the forensic and documentary type is necessary. Where is this evidence?
    1
  17. Well, France, Britain, USA defacto, declared war on Germany. All other German invasions simply preempted the planned actions of Britain and the Soviet Union.

  18. What part of "Judea Declares War on Germany" in 1933, don't you understand? If you have a complaint, take it up with yous stupid tribe.

  19.  @kittykat6033  Same old same old, I see. Is anything authenticated by an impartial court, perchance?

  20. Your logic is truly impeccable! It is in fact, non existent.

  21.  @17MrLeon  Firebombing of Dresden, 250,000 to 350,000 civilians burned. Then there was Hamburg, 40,000 civilians burned. In my hometown my cousins were bombed while playing behind their house.

  23. Rubbish. France, Britain, USA defacto, declared war on Germany. In 1933 already "Judea Declares War on Germany". Google this.

  24. Yessir, a real hero indeed. Bombing women and children from 20,000 feet. Kindly explain to me why the western countries are now at war with their former ally, Russia? Maybe the Germans knew a thing or two about Russia and the USSR?
    1
  25. Serious war crime??? One commander gave an order that was legal under the Geneva Accord! But fire bombing German women and children from 20,000 feet, that is acceptable. You are one sick puppy.
    1
  26. Typically allied "holier than thou" propaganda. ONE commander gives an order to execute a group of civilians in retribution for partisan action. That's war and the Geneva Accord permits it. 250,000 German women and children are fire bombed in Dresden, and that's OK; it's only Germans. So get off your preaching high horse.

  27.  @oceanbreeze1162  The reason I, and many others, do not believe that fairy tale is because of the complete absence of authenticated forensic evidence. This was proved during the Zuendel Trials in Toronto.

  28. So, declaring war on Germany, and invading it, is OK in your sick mind???
    1
  29.  @joannakleinheksel-horn3494  Then write about the French & British declaration of war, and the French invasion. While you're at it write about the 2 French invasions between 1918 and 1939. And the 40 French invasions over the previous 400 years.
    1
  30.  @joannakleinheksel-horn3494  Point taken. But why the mea culpas when Germany was attacked?
    1
  31.  @BuzzLOLOL  "... ditto for Germany...". That is what Germany did in fact. Britain and the USA couldn't stand the competition. Just like today where the USA and Britain destroyed the Nordstream pipeline to eliminate German competition.

  32. So now you have the western world turning into a cesspool. You're welcome to it!

  33.  @joejohnson4183  So what?
    1
  34.  @joejohnson4183  Verifiable physical and forensic evidence. Such as the Germans did when they discovered the massacre at Katyn Forest in Poland.
    1
  35.  @joejohnson4183  You do not know what you're talking about. "...Where they died...". If they died, and I'd want to see verifiable forensic evidence for that assertion, it was because of the incessant allied bombing of everything that moved in Germany, including children at play. Thus the labour camps were deprived of food and medical supplies by the allies own actions.
    1
  36.  @joejohnson4183  What I want to see is authenticated forensic evidence of any and all assertions of German wrongdoing. Who would I trust to determine any authenticity? Scientists from China and Iran. In an impartial court of law, eye witness testimony is evidence of the lowest reliability. And is worthless if the witness benefits from his testimony.

  37.  @henryolsen8232  By reading a lot? Asking questions? Examining answers and assertions?

  38. And of course you believe such rubbish. Shame on you.

  39. Well, Britain and the British are known as Perfidious Albion for a very good reason.

  40. Moral of the story: Don't declare war on Germany or mobilize to invade it.

  41. Of course Jews were imprisoned. After all in 1933 already "Judea Declares War on Germany". Do you expect all those enemies to roam freely and harm Germany???

  42. There is absolutely no verifiable forensic evidence for that assertion.

  43.  @Chrisrpg1980  Bullshit. It's communism that's OK with officialdom in Germany.

  44.  @thenarkknight278  It's war propaganda that's burnt into your minds. All this to keep the "reparations" cash flow going, and make the murderous allies appear as the good guys. Be proud, as am I, that the German soldiers fought so valiantly to keep the communists from invading Europe.

  45.  @mjul7003  War propaganda should be buried and forgotten. That's what happened after WW I.

  52.  @goodgame3374  Germany is forced to carry out this self flagellation through monetary and economic means. Fact is: Germany stopped the communist invasion of Europe. Most people believe that was a good thing.

  53.  @jurgnobs1308  You truly are an ignoramus! By living in a society, any society, you agree to give up some freedoms. And I would argue that in today's "democracies" we have fewer freedoms than the Germans had under the NSDAP government.

  55.  @luy9ku  Ancient pearls of wisdom: Let him without sin cast the first stone. General Franco had ordered the bombing run on that town. Take up your complaints with him.

  56. If you read anything about WWII and Germany... The opposite is much closer to the truth.

  58.  @Edax_Royeaux  You are wrong! France, Britain, USA defacto, declared war on Germany!
    1
  59.  @Edax_Royeaux  Indeed, not many people know this fact, because the USA was officially neutral at that time. Another fact not well known is that Roosevelt and Churchill had been in contact and were discussing plans for war with Germany in the mid 1930's already, years before Churchill was even prime minister of Britain. A couple of books that deal with these and other circumstances are "Churchill and Hitler, the Unnecessary War" by Pat Buchanan. Another book is "Germany's War" by John Wear. I could cite at least another dozen with similar theme. When France and Britain formally declared war on Germany, the USA joined them by supplying war material and ships to Britain, while arresting German ships in US harbours at that time. The US fired at German naval vessels on the Atlantic, and interfered with German shipping, all this while officially neutral. Note that during this time German ships did not fire upon American vessels in fact, the Germans did their best to avoid any confrontation with the USA. The USA aggressiveness got so bad that the German government finally declared war on the USA so that legal commands could be given in Germany for its navy to fight back. Trust this explains things, please feel free to ask additional questions.
