WRONG! "Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union, set in motion events designed to cause a famine in the Ukraine to destroy the people there (The Kulaks) seeking independence from his rule. As a result, an estimated 7,000,000 persons perished in this farming area, known as the breadbasket of Europe, with the people deprived of the food they had grown with their own hands.... By the end of 1933, nearly 25 percent of the population of the Ukraine, including three million children, had perished. The Kulaks as a class were destroyed and an entire nation of village farmers had been laid low." http://www.historyplace.com/worldhistory/genocide/stalin.htm (and u wonder why the Ukraine doesn't want Putin back!)

And Germans haven't exterminated any people. There are still a lot of Jews in Europe ! (ps : it's not a problem for me, I don't want to kill anyone, lol). And yes, a lot of Jews died during WW2, but a very few number compared to many other people. And they were not assassinated by the "nazis" because they were Jews. Most of them died at the end of the war (1944 and 1945). Why ? Because of allied bombings which destroyed communication ways and caused famines and epidemics (typhus, inter alia). Germans would have been crazy to kill these people. That was the war industry workforce !!!

I read the above with a fair level of surprise, shock and dismay and having now received post reports I have little option other than to intervene.

If the above is truly what you believe then I think it pointless to point out what I and I suspect so many others will see as fundamental flaws in your post content.

It is not my job to argue or otherwise disprove what you have posted and as such I presume obviously that of which you believe.

It is however my job on this forum to oversee activity and content that is well within the rules of this forum and as such I am asking you not to repeat the above contents in any other parts of the forum or such action will most likely be deemed as being in breach of SubSims stance on hate groups and in particular propaganda denying the Holocaust.

I have a slightly different view.

This is a thread about the surrender of the u-boats at the end of the war, in a forum about playing a u-boat game. I've re-read the thread several times now. I suggest that you do the same, then explain why this isn't taking place in General Topics, where it obviously belongs.

Please keep the game forums on topic.

I understand your reaction. This is not the appropriate forum for a historical debate. But I don't admit my comments to be assimilated to hate, propaganda or antisemitism. What I'm saying are only fully proven historical facts. History is the search of the truth. This is not a dogma. Otherwise, it is a religion. The Holocaust has become a religion. I'm not talking about religion, but about history. So, I don't care about the intolerants who are saying I'm a heretic. If the only argument to oppose is censorship, then the holocaust thesis really not worth much.

We will talk again about this subject in 10 years, when what I say will be recognized as being the truth. In the meantime, let the historians do their research, instead of sending them to jail and persecute their family.

And final point : if what I'm saying is "propaganda", so I also have the right to say that the Holocaust is anti-german propaganda (and that's true).

Now, I won't talk about this subject anymore on this forum.

Regards,

F.

And Reinhard thank you for sharing this moving video. I'm happy that you don't actually see the U-Boats sinking...

Not German, but here is one of the Japanese I-400 Boats (one of the largest submaines of WWII)

The other navies respected them.
Because of how young they were, their losses and because they kept the nazification out of their fleet.

They stand proud today. Untainted by the Reich and as soldiers.
