  1.  @HistoryHustle  The truth hurts.

  2. Hmmm, let me see if I understand all this correctly: 1) Britain declares war on Germany. 2) Britain, because they can't hit anything worthwhile with their bombing, decide to bomb German civilian areas. 3) The German government appeals to Britain to stop targeting German civilian centres. 4) Britain/Churchill do not even reply to this humane request. 5) Pressure from the German people force the Luftwaffe to RETALIATE with its bombing campaigns. And Germany is the bad guy??? 400,000 to 500,000 Brits could have been saved had the British populace simply hanged Churchill as the warmonger that he was.

  3.  @No-timeforimbeciles  Fair enough. Thanks.

  4. The truth will withstand the most searching of inquiries; only lies require draconian laws to prevail. Plus the imprisonment of 90+ year old grandmothers in Germany.

  5.  @Guido_XL  To add to that read: "Polish Atrocities Against the German Minority in Poland".

  6.  @RastaSaiyaman  Read: "Polish Atrocities Against the German Minority in Poland".

  7.  @alundavies8402  You certainly swallowed the war propaganda!

  8.  @Guido_XL  So true!

  9.  @Captain-Cardboard  It took the combined might of the entire capitalist and communist world almost 6 years to defeat Germany. My hat is off to them for lasting that long against the murderous allies.

  10.  @Zoco101  It's easy to claim the characteristics you assert with the entire capitalist and communist world aiding and abetting the destruction of a courageous country that dared to try a new way of managing its economy. Hope you enjoy the cess pool the western world is turning into what with its "win" over courageous Germany.

  11.  @yurilevenfeld9119  Innocent?

  12. Well, in 1933 "Judea Declares War on Germany", as per newspaper headlines. If you look it up now, it is downplayed as simply a boycott. If so, why not say so? Then there is the little story that Jews have been asked to leave over 100 countries over the last 2000 years. Ask yourself this: You are in a bar with a group of friends when you begin complaining about being thrown out of 100 bars or restaurants. What would your friends say??? Einstein is credited with this observation: "It is a sign of insanity to keep doing the same thing and expect different results". Even a cat or dog would learn this within 5 to 10 tries.

  13. You have a very selective memory! It was Britain and France that declared war on Germany! It was France that invaded Germany first. Belgium and Holland, while officially neutral, sided with Britain. Denmark and Norway were about to be occupied by Britain, when Germany beat them time wise. And your friend the Soviet Union, was poised to invade Europe, when Germany struck preemptively once month earlier. Read "Icebreaker" by Viktor Suvorov.

  14.  Moisei Uritsky The Butcher Of Petrograd  There are a number of fairly new books out now: "Germany's War" by John Wear, and "Stalin's War" by Sean Mc Meekin.
    1
  15. Jews were the self-declared enemy of Germany. Google on "Judea Declares War on Germany", and this was in 1933! Then read the book "Icebreaker" by Viktor Suvorov.

  16.  @HistoryHustle  What was wrong with keeping the communist USSR out of western Europe???
    1
  17. The Dutch allowed allied bombers to cross their territory on their way to Germany. The Germans, including my relatives, fought to keep the murderous Soviet Union from invading Europe. You really swallowed the de-nazification wholesale.
    1
  18.  @ariearie3543  I didn't know. Thanks.
    1
  19.  @HistoryHustle  But do you KNOW for sure? If you were a historian you'd inquire.
    1
  20.  @HistoryHustle  Of course it is! True history is revised continuously as new facts become known. But you cannot acknowledge that, right?
    1
  21.  @HistoryHustle  The truth hurts.
    1
  22. The author forgot just one little detail: Jews were the self-avowed enemies of Germany! Already 1933 the headlines proclaimed "Judea Declares War on Germany". Google it, but make appropriate allowances to the politically correct modern explanation. It was a declaration of war!
    1
  23. I'm sure the Dutch are heart broken. Not!
    1
  24. In action the Dutch Government was anything but neutral.
    1
  25. Not even Israeli historians believe that.
    1
  26.  @saritestreicher6616  You are entitled to your own beliefs, but not your own FACTS! Yad Vashem in Israel, and Wikipedia, call you a liar.
    1
  27.  @saritestreicher6616  Look my friend, it does not matter one single solitary thing what anyone alleges about anything! What matters is what can be PROVEN! No testimony is worth anything if the witness benefits from his testimony. This is very basic etiquette in impartial courts. Ever heard of "reparations" payments, still ongoing 76 years after the war's end? And to a country that didn't even exist, then? Tell you what, you refer me to an authenticated DNA analysis of one of your bars of soap, and I will change my mind. Not holding my breath, though.
    1
  28.  @saritestreicher6616  No! You said you believed that soap fairy tale because someone told you so. I reiterated that I would want to see forensic or other scientific evidence such as DND testing to substantiate your allegations. If, what you allege were true, it would be very simple to verify it via DNA testing. As far as I know this has never been done. If you know otherwise, please advise so, here. Thank you.

  29.  @aka99  Don't be stupid! Anne died of a disease in a hospital in Germany, her old man died in the USA well after the war. He was convicted of swindling the author of Anne's diaries out of $50,000 in the USA.

  30.  @HistoryHustle  And you claim to be a historian? Ignorance is bliss, right?

  31. It was the Jewish Committee in Germany that thought up the yellow Jewish star.
    1
  32.  @gillesmeura3416  Hitler's intentions were peace! Try and prove me wrong with authenticated evidence. It was the Soviet Union that broke the agreement by invading, or trying to invade, various countries in contravention with the German-Soviet agreement.
    1
  33. The Dutch allowed British and American bombers to cross its territory on the way to Germany, while "neutral". Well, you're not neutral if you permit that. The Swiss were neutral and would shoot down any aircraft, allied or German, that crossed into its territory. That is neutrality. So the Dutch sided with the Brits, and got their lumps. Tough. I do feel sorry for the Dutch volunteers in the Waffen SS. They too fought valiantly to keep the Soviets out of Europe.
    1
  34.  @gmicg  Not sure what the benefit was for allied planes to cross Ireland. Certainly not to bomb Germany. That was perhaps another reason why Germany occupied Sweden. What with its huge coast line facing Britain.
    1
  35. Sorry, I meant Norway has the huge coast line... and was occupied by Germany.
    1
  36. Well, there is this little bit about Stalin not living up to that agreement by invading smaller neighbouring countries, threatening Romanian oil fields, and mobilizing his military for the invasion of Europe. Then there is that little thing of Britain and France declaring war on Germany, just as Judea did in 1933! You can thank the German soldiers that battled so valiantly to stop the Soviet invasion of Europe.

  37.  @No-timeforimbeciles  Why should a business not conduct its affairs in Germany?
    1
  38. To say anything else in Germany after the war would have gotten them arrested. They do that to 90+ year old grandmothers now.
    1
  39.  @johnburrows1179  Read "Icebreaker" by Viktor Suvorov.
    1
  40. You obviously swallowed all that anti-German propaganda.
    1
  41. You are one of the inventive Jews the Israeli Supreme Court was talking about.
    1
  42. It took MASSIVE de-nazification campaigns and draconian laws to make those lies stick, at least in public discourse. 90+ year old grandmothers were imprisoned in Germany because they refused to believe that swindle.
    1
  43. Why would you think so?
    1
  44.  @HistoryHustle  What do you expect? They declared war on Germany in1933.
    1
  45. NSDAP was like antifa??? You're insane to make such a statement.
    1
  46. Greuelpropaganda, like sex, SELLS!
    1
  47.  @ronschroeder585  Sure it did! DNA analysis has disproved that lie, when it was tried in Montreal some years ago.
    1
  48. Your first two paragraphs are certainly rubbish. Read "Icebreaker" by Viktor Suvorov.
    1
  49. This war propaganda is kept alive 76 years later because of the "reparations" money Germany is still coerced to pay to Israel and 400,000 "survivors" still living.
    1
  50.  @HistoryHustle  An easy cop out. How about: Let him without sin cast the first stone. Or: People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
    1
  51. I hope your command of the German language is a lot better than the gibberish you spouted here.
    1
  52. They should not have murdered all those German expatriates, and negotiated with Germany in good faith.
    1
  53. Well, there were 150,000 Jewish soldiers in the Wehrmacht, some in very high positions... Or the Jewish hospital in Berlin, with Jewish staff and doctors right until the end. Fact is, most Jews emigrated from Germany as per the agreement with the Jewish organization in Germany. After 1939 this was no longer possible. Those Jews that posed a threat to the security of the German state, or were convicted of criminal activities, were imprisoned in concentration camps.
    1
  54. That's because the ignorant don't know or care who the Waffen SS were and what they achieved.
    1
  55. Prove it.
    1
  56. All Waffen SS were volunteers, period! Clerical and support staff may have been drafted.
    1
  57. I'm interested in the suicide rate of German soldiers. Can you refer me to some reliable books? Thank you!
    1
  58. NSDAP did wonders for the economy and standard of living for the working man. This is easily verified. What did the British government ever do for the working man except war mongering???
    1
  59. The poles were murdering German ex-patriates by the tens of thousands when Germany reclaimed its stolen territory from Poland.
    1
  60.  @boldvankaalen3896  Pure rubbish!
    1
  61.  @HistoryHustle  But not proved. There is no forensic or other scientific evidence!
    1
  62. USA Supeme court justices named those trials "kangaroo courts and lynching parties", in which impartial rules of evidence did not apply. Not even Israeli historians believe that nonsense any more.
    1
  63.  @seang3019  You're the accuser, you supply the forensic or other verifiable evidence to support your accusations. What i wrote above is the truth. If you are interested in such, a modicum of searching would help. Perhaps you prefer to believe every piece of rubbish supplied by the perpetual victims?
    1
  64.  @seang3019  The Judges were: Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Harlan Fiske Stone, both of the USA Supreme Court.
    1
  65.  @seang3019  That may very well be, but amounts to nothing. No impartial court accepts the testimony of those who benefit from that testimony, without extensive questioning by the defence. This has never occurred. During one trial in Israel, the Supreme court of that country tossed out all the evidence of the eye witnesses by stating that lies, embellishments, pure invention, etc. were part of those peoples' make-up. During the Zuendel trials in Toronto, the prosecution was unable to present any witnesses or evidence that withstood the intense questioning of the defense counsel Christi. Allegations of the holocaust were completely demolished. The transcripts may still be on-line.
    1
  66.  @seang3019  Sorry, what is your question?
    1
  67.  @seang3019  I don't have to deny anything; the truth speaks for itself. In all the discussion groups I've read, when the topic turns to the holocaust, I ask this simple question: "Show me the forensic or other scientific evidence that supports your allegations". Not ONCE has anyone been able to supply such evidence! In stead I get "The Nuremberg trials have proven..." Or, "I saw this movie and people were crying..." And, "I've seen movies like Schindler's list..." Finally, "We had this H survivor give a talk to my class and she told of harrowing experiences. NONE of the above constitute proof of anything. Proof is something the veracity of which was tested by thorough cross examination in an impartial court. This was done during the Zuendel trials in Toronto. Not a single witness, no evidence produced by the prosecution, could withstand the cross examination by defense counsel Christi.

  68.  @seang3019  I don't believe it happened. Good bye sir!
    1
  69.  @seang3019  Most certainly I answered your question. You just didn't like the answer.
    1
  70. What they really saw was the result of the day and night bombing, that made supply lines nearly impossible. Blame your heroes for this. You know the ones: They made the world safe for democracy. That's why we see the world around us turning into cesspools.
    1
  71. "Judea Declares War on Germany" as per 1933 newspaper headlines. Did they expect the Germans to roll over???
    1
  72. Not even Israeli historians believe your sick fantasies! The Israeli Supreme Court also had a few things to say about Jewish "inventiveness".
    1
  73. You were there and saw it with your own eyes, right?
    1
  74.  @milasto2  They fought to keep the communists out of western Europe, you ignoramus!
    1
  75.  @p.s.3741  I suppose you can provide authenticated forensic evidence to support your assertions regarding German atrocities? Thought not.
    1
  76.  @MrKakibuy  Can you supply any authenticated evidence regarding the German use of "subhuman"?
    1
  77. "...Worse than Hitler..." That narrative was completely disproved during the Zuendel trials in Toronto.
    1
  78.  @clydeblair9622  Why would you think so? Read the trial transcripts, they were available on the 'net.
    1
  79. In 1933 "Judea Declares War on Germany" as per newspaper headlines. Did they expect Germany to roll over? Even the Romans had to learn that bitter lesson.
    1
  80. Atrocities committed??? Fairy tales without one shred of verified evidence.
    1
  81.  @HistoryHustle  Begin by reading the transcripts of the Zuendel trials held in Toronto during the 1980's. The narrative you propound here was completely disproved because the prosecution was unable to produce any credible witnesses or evidence. Let me know here and I will refer you to a number of books that also disagree with your narrative.
    1
  82. Until after WW II, the difference between Germany and Austria was pretty minor. Austria, in German Oesterreich, means Eastern Realm, of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nations.
    1
  83. To me that sounds more like communist Soviet actions.
    1
  84. "...better off under collectivisation..."? You don't know what you are talking about, because the exact opposite is the truth. Productivity increases with privatization.
    1
  85.  @ianbeddowes5362  When you begin with very low economic activity it is easy to obtain double digit growth. American industrial help contributed to this growth tremendously.
    1
  86.  @ianbeddowes5362  What ideology? It is observed fact that privatization of agriculture increases productivity. It doesn't matter if it is a 1/2 acre family tract or 2000 acre corporate farm. In private hands each performs better. Apart from that one needs to define productivity in this context. Because of the intense working thereof, and the minimal need for machinery access, the 1/2 acre lot produces a greater quantity of crops per acre than the 2000 acre corporate land. This is an observable fact. If your aim is to make money, then the corporate farm, of course, shines. But don't confuse the two measures which express different values.
    1
  87. "...Germanic obsession..."? The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nations was very real, and in the early 1800's consisted of 300! separate political entities. This from a book entitled "Political Geography" published in the very early 1800's. These formed the German Nation after the Franco-Prussian war, in 1871 I think it was.

  88.  @DarkDutch007  "...foreign aircraft... got shot own...". Is there any literature to support this? Thanks.
    1
  89.  @DarkDutch007  Thank you for your reply.

  90. Jews were the self-proclaimed enemies of Germany! They said so in headlines.
    1
  91. So you love the communists.
    1
  92. Fact is, prior to war Germany had no intention of invading any country, excepting those in which the German minority was being mistreated and murdered.
    1
  93.  @RastaSaiyaman  Pure rubbish! Read Wikipedia regarding the "bombing" of Rotterdam.
    1
  94. If your relatives said anything different in Germany, they'd be arrested. Offenkundigkeit, you know.
    1
  95.  @AlanpittsS2b  Sorry if I wasn't clear. In Germany today one cannot openly question the common narrative of the holocaust. In the German judiciary this is termed Offenkundingkeit, roughly meaning "everyone knows that this happened and the courts accept this as proven fact." German lawyer Silvia Stolz tried to introduce evidence that this Offenkundigkeit was far from correct. She was held in contempt and sentenced to prison. Right now 90+ year old grandmothers are in prison for doubting the narrative proffed herein. The very idea that questioning a narrative, and the attempt to produce evidence calling that narrative in question, resulting in prison sentences, ought to be enough to seriously question that narrative.
    1
  96. Those trials proved nothing, exept victor's justice.
    1
  97. Fact is, Germany reclaimed its territory that had been "given" to Poland post WWI. Poles were murdering tens of thousands of German expatriates in those illegally acquired territories. And Germany is the bad guy?
    1
  98.  @klio1212  Which part of my post did you not understand?
    1
  99.  @klio1212  That's what I wrote. I suppose you question my assertion? To substantiate that, the best I can do right now is to refer you to the 1922 edition of Encyclopedia Britannica. Some British newspapers at that time wrote about abuse of German and other minorities in Poland. The most authoritative books on this are the German White Books, in a library in New York City. I can just anticipate your next statement.

  100.  @HistoryHustle  Read "Icebreaker" by Viktor Suvorov".
