Default Aggressive is perhaps a better definition. No matter how you manipulate the numbers, they still lost 50% less than the Red Army. A Normandy landing would be too fanatical for me.

They are socialists. That's why it was a mainstream ideology in the 20th century. People like Helmut Schmidt and François Mitterrand found themselves in "complete agreement" on foreign policy matters. Newly accessible documents from 1942 praise his "Impeccable national-socialist [Nazi] behaviour", and in 1944 his superiors mentioned that Schmidt "stands the ground of national-socialist ideology.

I don’t know what was Judith Stein’s primary source, but I am certainly not going to take this lying down. Obviously, people with disabilities were already segregated in the Wehrmacht etc, from which volunteers were admitted to the SS basic training. In addition, it's questionable to claim, for example, paratroopers as poor quality due to heavy losses.

Obviously, they all routinely withheld information for “public safety”. UK was not even a democracy. USA was a flawed democracy. This may come as a shock, but the flag-raising on Iwo Jima Island was staged.

Norwegians lost about a man per week. This year, the authorities have already rescued 85 people from Lapland. Modern people don’t realize that a credit card does nothing on the tundra.

Unfortunately, the opposite is true. The most fanatical will win https://youtu.be/Tp864P2Uge8

Kevin Davies Actually, half of my comments are removed, so that’s not quite true. Churchill's fan boy Molyneux was also evicted.

Interestingly, Nazi propaganda mentions language difficulties. At least three languages were spoken in one battalion alone. How well do Scandinavians understand each other? Personally, I can say that I understand very little about Estonian.

Was your militia unit part of the ISIS? So you claim that 10% of unpaid self-trained soldiers are better than a hired special forces regular?

Fanaticleanliness? 😜

Many of them had already received basic training across Europe. Granted, at the upper levels the officers were mostly Germans. For example, Herman Brown from St. Petersburg was probably discriminated against, thus never promoted. He was small, dark, Slavic-looking SS artilleryman. Brown was trained in Finland together with Christopher Lee. According to André Swanström, a leftist docent, almost half were Nazi supporters, so half were not fanatical. Obviously, first response folks suffer more than a kitchenette behind them.

Exactly. How to withdraw fanatically? If anyone is fanatic, it’s the Red Army. Also, the Italians, lost less than most countries and switched sides, are anything but fanatical and incompetent. That being said, einsatzgruppen and some individuals like Mengele or Goethe are fanatical or just mentally ill.
