  1.  @michaelkovacic2608  I'd say that no elder was qualified, except in politics. Ernst Schacht was the best Soviet general.

  2.  @SAarumDoK  I think he meant Semyon Budyonny was not the sharpest pencil in the cup. He was frequently commemorated for his bravery in many Soviet songs.

  3. Iol as if People's Republic of Mozambique was any better. I wouldn't go back to the 1930s, but I would go back to the 1950s.

  4. I'd say Erkki Raappana was a lost victor. Basically, woke crowd canceled him in 1952. Mauno Koivisto and Lauri Törni served under Raappana.

  5. People keep saying Croatia is fascist, but Serbia is not. They are very similar. Croatia has about 2% higher taxation. They even speak the same language.

  6. I am a bit biased, but Erik Heinrichs got praise from Stalin after visiting Moscow in 1948.

  7.  @michaelkovacic2608  How Joachim Peiper drank Hennessy was a war crime, directly from the bottle. I can imagine him face planting after that.

  9. I think it is a legitimate question. I define market economy with authoritarian rule as fascism. Russia, for example, has a 13% flat tax. The overall tax burden equals 20.1% in Ukraine. That's why it's not so simple. Swastika is Hindu symbol, therefore circumstantial evidence. Also, local legislation is usually enough. Supranational laws are unnecessary. After the War, Väinö Tanner (Social Democratic Party of Finland) was tried for responsibility for the war in February 1946, and sentenced to five years and six months in prison. President Paasikivi pardoned him in May 1949. C.P. Kryssing, brigadier general of the Waffen-SS, was released in May 1948, one year earlier than Tanner.

  10. I think it would be interesting to hear who, is a Nazi general. All Germans, all Europeans? Kim Il-sung became a Major in the Soviet Red Army. Truman ended racial segregation, then fought the Communists in Korea.

  11. Amen. Imagine serving under Vatutin. You would get molten lava in your face under 9min.

  12. I think Brigadier General Mathias Kräutler was qualified. Blue eyes, 6'0", 189 pounds. At least he was not completely obliterated like many others. Perhaps a bit luck involved. I do not agree with their decision to make northern Finland a car park. Prisoner of war from 23 August 1945 to 15 January 1947. That is 1 year, 4 months, 23 days.
