So Sid, when I remark countless times about you chasing veterans, why is it, that it seems I've been right? It looks like you've chased off Joscha, who from what I've heard was a very nice man. If you ever read 'Joscha's' war stories and then read Paul Carrell's two books on the Eastern Front you'd...

As the British retreat in some areas turned into a rout, certain units turned to using dum-dum bullets against advancing German troops. They had also been ordered not to take any prisoners except for interrogation. Such expanding bullets inflict horrific wounds and are strictly banned under the Gen...

From memory, Overmans surveyed 5.5 million card index files which amounted to all the relevant Wehrmacht personal records.

Nope, just providing emphasis to the above You surely wouldn't advocate any of us being inaccurate, would you?

The files are Wehrmacht personnel records.

Oh? And the Wehrmacht was updating its records AFTER May 7th, 1945???

You're making yourself look pretty stupid by repeating this.

Of course the Wehrmacht wasn't updating it's records after May 1945. But WaST and the German Red Cross certainly did. And still is.

If the UK and France had stood up to Hitler in 1936 it's highly unlikely that the subsequent occupation of Austria and Czechoslovakia would have happened. The same would apply to the invasion of Poland so I'm not sure on what front Hitler would have been able to attack the USSR. In 1936 Hitler's hol...

If there was such a surplus of food available after 1945 can someone explain to me why the UK had rationing until the 1950s? Flour for example was rationed until 1948.

I too am interested in where the wine expert has uncovered his 3 million figure. I've an inkling it may involve the name Bacques.

If that is the last thing they need, what is the first thing they need? Probably people to understand that because they were in the W-SS and have a blood tattoo they don't automatically have the same views that he does. How is it insulting to them? How do you feel about all the snot-nosed punks spo...

Achilles, I wear slim fit shirts and suits, and have a budding washboard. Actually, due to the dimensions of my waste compared to my upper boddy--it is becoming extremely difficult to find suits that fit me. Carry on please, this is just too fantastic for words. Is this supposed to be funny? Or are...

Hey @#%-I am 6ft, and weigh 210. I used to weigh 225-230, but even at 210, I am hardly little. So be quiet. ANd it is hardly Nazi worship. The Nazis were simply the good guys. The anglo-americans were the baddy bad guys. Sound like a bit of a fatty to me. Getting a tattoo of any organisation that's...

I ask because I am strongly considiering getting one--to signify incognito my affinity with Nationalist Socialist ideology as I must nonetheless remain in obscurity. If one knows where to look though, they will see what I really stand for.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

What a walt.

The comparison of German versus Allied performance is Normandy is skewed by the fact that the allies did almost all of the attacking through perfect defensive terrain. The Germans did far worse when they launched their own limited attacks. Any examination of early war engagements between equal quali...

Actually a quick google serach turned this up:

Enough said. Crackpots, weirdos, religion - all the same to me.

Superstitious crap.

Oh, I dunno - when youve got an accredited Spanish-American archeologist digging up pottery shards and incised stones from totally undisturbed layers dated to before the last ice age, showing identifiable humans AND identifiable DINOSAURS interacting, somehow that should raise a questionmark over e...

and from whatever litttle that I have read of the Heer Panzer divisions and their performances.......I think the 2nd Panzer may have been the best division of the Panzerwaffe......................but the Waffen SS panzer formations were pitched more often than their Heer counterparts against crack ...

When Europe and Europeans were proud. Look at these men. These are men. Even if you do not agree with the cause they defended, are these men not magnificent? More like these and we would not be so scared of 'terrorists'. On the mark, yet again. Why is that those that continually moan about the lack...
