Many of those pics are cool, minus the ones that have SS faggots in them. I am sure that if you grew up in post WWI Germany you would have been leading the resistance movement against Nazism. Oh thats right your ass would have been on the Ost front with the rest of your kameraden. I'm Jewish. I had many family members murdered by the Nazis. I also had family members who were Warsaw Ghetto fighters and fought back against the Nazis. So actually, I would have been on the front lines fighting them. Nazis were evil. Their cause was evil. They aimed to conquer the world and either enslave or murder anyone who was not like them. This included anyone who did not look, think, act, worship, or have the same lineage as them. Kinda sounds like the enemy we are fighting today. There was nothing just about their cause. There was nothing right about their cause. They brought madness and senseless barbarism to the world that ended in the most costly conflict man has ever witnessed. Were the Soviets just as bad? Sure. Should we have fought them after the war? That's a debate for the historians. The bottom line is this: there was nothing good brought to the world by Nazis. The first half of the 20th Century is a shame that will forever mar the German people. Yes; the German people, not just the Nazis. They knew what was happening. There is no argument against that. They knew what was happening and they allowed it. They allowed themselves to be taken over by madness. They are just as guilty. Today's Germans are not the same people. I do not hold a grudge against them. But, the German's of my grandparent's generation... they brought the world's disdain upon themselves. They cannot and should not be forgiven. This, plus good clean rant! |

We also claim some cossack blood. Grandfather came over in the late 20's but everyone else stayed in the old country. He brought one surviving brother and one sister over after the war. The sister had been in Sobibor and had the arm tatoo. She died in the 1970's. She hated cops but loved the US Army. Go figure. |

First, some great pictures there. Wonder what they were up to in some of them.
Second, remember that not all Nazis were German, and not all Germans were Nazis. Hitler for example was Austrian, he was fucking Austrian! Third, they killed an awful lot of communist pigs, so be thankful for that. As bad as the Nazis were (10-15 million deaths due to the holocaust), Stalin is beleived to have killed between as 'few' as 20 million to as many as 60 million people. Nice guy, huh? You just never hear about it for some reason...Oh wait, because FDR sided with him... Now don't get me wrong, I'd shoot Hitler in the face with a shotgun if you gave me the chance, but I'd shoot Stalin first...And then Uncle Ho, Mao See Dung, and so on. Also, the invasion of France was probably a good thing too...It's France, people...C'mon... |
