Batesmotel Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I knew a soldier who liberated a labor camp supplying workers for coal Mines. Most of the prisoners were not Jews but were deserters from the Army or captured soldiers from other countries. The German soldiers that were captured were so arrogant and proud of what they did that fights broke out with the Americans. For the “Psychological Health of the Troops” the officers just turned their backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minervadoe Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 The world turned a blind eye to the Jewish holocaust. Are we turning a blind eye to what China is doing to the Uyghurs because corporations think an extra nickle of profit margin is more important? 22 minutes ago, Historian said: Last i heard there were about 26 ongoing genocides active in the world right now. If our press had any principles at all, we'd be hearing about this instead of pan gender Narnia propaganda. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marie Colvin...lost an eye in Sri Lanka reporting on genocide. She died in Syria. She was tough as rusty barbed wire. She would have made paint chip and lead melt.

railfancwb Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Usually forgotten, unfortunately, are the six million or so non-Jews who also died in the Holocaust - Gypsies, cripples, retarded, others considered undesirable by the Nazis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Cicero Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I walked through Auschwitz the last time I was in Poland, 3 years ago, I think? It was completely unnerving then to see how efficient and normalized the Nazis made murder on a massive scale. The last year taught me a lot about how that happened. I no longer believe that it could not happen here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am struck over and over...that it really happened. And people let it happen. Hitler wrote an international best seller....he told everyone he was going to do this. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historian Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 By the way. The German Sixth Army surrendered at Stalingrad on this day many years ago. It doomed those men...and the war was never the same for the Germans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then the Germans ran to give up to the Americans because after the atrocities they did to the Russians, they knew they would be captured DEAD !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crockett Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 My grandfather first had to hide from the Nazi SS because he refused to show up and follow order, and years later he had to hide from the Russians when they considered every male to be part of the SS. The anxiety from those years never left his face, it crippled him for the rest of his life. Once Hitler had his SS established, there was no win:win possible, for nobody. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
