I think the mods need to close down this thread because this goes nowhere and is complete useless

I think it's coming to a natural close, no need to become class monitor.

Anyway, I hear Dancing Queen played too loud and I feel like dancing .. Night all.

- Day and night bombings of large cities by allied Air forces: Alliedazis

Liberation... you can't have it without breaking eggs. Think the Germans did not try the same? It was a legitimate form of warfare back then. Cant get whiney just because the allies did it better.

And here is another thing that may have escaped your attention.... when the Nazis surrendered... the allies stopped shooting Germans.... The Nazis had a habit of murdering people in countries who had already surrendered. Imagine what they could have achieved if the allies had stopped bothering them!

And where was the American Auschwitz?

Yeah, I bow out to, was fun while it lasted.

You can never change anyones opinions on these, but it is important to show the world that not all collectors are kneeling at the gloryhole.....

Yes it was an interesting discussion

By the way, I will be in Amiens 1st July this year and Albert over the weekend 2nd-3rd July this year
I will be visiting the Lochnagar Mine Crater on the Sunday most likely

Anyone there at the time? Let me know

Cheers

[Chris Boonzaier]

I am guessing large sections will be closed on the 1st July, there will probably be official delagations.

Okay Martin and Chris hate and have no respect for anyone who fought for Germany in the SS or Wehrmacht that's fine.

Claus von Stauffenberg was no hero a traitor to his country and got what he deserved.

also Eisenhower's death camps after the war. allies just shooting SS POWs
War is bad US and UK was no better so can't sit on the high horse.
British empire is falling europe is messed up was the allied victory a good thing 70 years later?

"Other Losses" is a 1989 book by Canadian writer "James Bacque"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Other_Losses

But you guys just go back to collecting British medals and maybe join a british award forum War relics is good lots of british and canadian stuff on there.

Mods please lock this thread its pointless

Just a thought on WW2..Churchill declared war on Germany because Germany invaded Poland.
Afterwards he sold Poland to Stalin.


In every army there are war-criminals and heroes.
The SS commander who murdered out Oradour was a criminal, just as Bomber Harris was a war-criminal.
The soldiers who got The Victoria Cross were heroes, just as for example Wittman.
I see no difference.

You see, here we go again. I base my opinions on FACTS and not on romantic notions of WW2 or conjecture.

Just to be clear, Winston Churchill was not prime minister in 1939, Neville Chamberlain was.

People really should study more before they make sweeping statements

All the best

Ok, just replace Churchill by 'England' then 😊

How about Great Britain. ?

Another mistake in this infantile discussion at times that will not end !!

"Europe did not want war in 1939, it was thrust upon it by AH and his inadequate crony's, its as simple as that".
