Skorzeny was, as Sid points out, probably picked on the basis of political loyalty, being an "Old Fighter" for the Party in Austria when it was very unfashionable to do so. Don't remember where I read it, but before the Gran Sasso mission, Hitler supposedly reviewed a group of candidates f...

Sorry, but at least in regards to Gran Sasso, Sid wins.

And I too wondered about the church comment- Church of the Holy Expletive, maybe.

The old version of the Feldgrau forum still exists! A slightly-- er-- different type of visitor now frequenting it, however

I've probably been paying more attention to this thread than is due. It's just that I hate to see things come to this- verbal combat that accomplishes nothing, that violates the young but in my opinion sacred tradition behind a historical research forum. The purpose of this forum, as well as the one...

Maybe you have made civil posts elsewhere- sorry I've overlooked them. Your posts to this forum (and forums outside of Feldgrauland) are the only ones I've seen. And it's not even a matter of who's right or wrong in their assessment of the Waffen-SS as a whole or Skorzeny and Dirlewanger in particul...

I second that seconding of what I've been trying to convey to you for about a week now, knorr. You are well-read and knowledgeable. You could be an asset to any forum. But until you learn to write a post free of vicious insults, you'll just be perceived as an a**hole. I'm not a great scholar and sti...

The following is his entry from John P. Moore's "Fuehrerliste der Waffen-SS" CD-Rom: Jugler, Wolfgang SS-Untersturmfuhrer der Waffen-SS Born: 07. March 1922 in Salzburg. [No death date given, so possibly still alive] SS-Nr.: 491 818 SS-Ustuf. and Chef of 1.Komp. / SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Regim...

fknorr~ All I can say is that you've blown my "case"- or whatever the hell it was- out of the water. Well done. It is a matter of a relatively small group of bad apples being allowed to spoil the whole batch. I hadn't considered that 5% of the total number of Waffen-SS members was indeed s...

No-- you are "superior" to no one. And neither am I. Everyone here has something of value to contribute, even if they don't always do so. To dismiss them all as "stupid morons" is to be the ultimate "stupid moron". Don't be that. You said a few days ago that you don't l...

Although I don't dispute a number of your points, and consider mySELF to be a middle-dwelling historian, I've gotta tell you that you should work on those "people skills" I mentioned earlier. Calling everyone who disagrees with you a "moron" might relieve you of tension and make ...

Knorr, it's clear from a number of your posts that you're just a troll trying to get a rise out of people, so I won't waste much more time with you. Drunks and adulterers are not necessarily "scumbags" simply because they drink to excess and commit adultery- at least according to the Micha...

Again you skirted the JFK Audey Murphy questions but as stated, I do understand... Not intentionally skirting. I am aware that even great men have their flaws. Audey Murphy helped to liberate Europe. JFK bravely accepted responsibility for the Bay of Pigs fiasco and stood his ground against Krusche...

Don't have the time or inclination to respond to all of your vitriol, but will set you straight on one thing- I am more objective than your average Axis history aficionado, having no agenda or bias of any kind. I have corresponded with Waffen-SS veterans and Holocaust survivors, and am able to respe...
