D Day

[faded glory]

Good point gudin, he wasnt even a nazi. Had the nazi's knew he was more Russian that german..they probably would of killed him. He couldnt, and still even before he died last year, found it hard to believe what happened in the camps. He thought people were being germanized...not killed

Yeah, right up there with the battle of the somme and hiroshima.

Well, I guess , the allies shouldn't have been so agressive against the Germans, that would be descending to their level , and we wouldn't want that , right?

Were it not for massive military and economic assistance from the U.S.A. and Britain, the USSR would have bent over faster than a Castro Street Bottom for the Panzers!

The germans could of thrown the invasion back pretty easily, had ze fuhuer not takin a sedative. 1100 german tanks sat there...doing nothing for the first 7 days. Hitler was an idiot, why would the allies STILL attack pas de calais, when there was 700,000 already on shore in normady. That would of been one hell of a diversionary attack

there are times I think Hitler wanted to lose. I think in private he was a masochist.

Some of his actions after D-day were very questionable. I still think the Germans were strong enough to push back any amphibious attack had they wanted to.

FG, it has been well-established by history that der Fuhrer was perhaps the greatest ally we had in defeating the Nazis. As a propagandist he may have been brilliant, but as a military tactician he was a complete bonehead.

All he had to have done was let Rommel set up the defenses of Normandy like the field marshall had wanted to. The Allies wouldn't have gotten much past the beaches.

Nothing gets to me like listening to Other's national anthem...

Happy D-Day, and a heartfelt thank you to those who fought and those who died.
