Dumpfbacke. Have you an idea how many elderly and mothers and children got killed in these attacks? Well, the physically combat-capable men were all away, so what was left were women, elderly people, children for the most. The real hard and mean Nazi scum, I mean, the battle-hardened troops that costed your army so dearly...

You get my point. Your sarcasm is unneeded, I think. Most Nazis inEurope were Germans. But not all Germans were Nazis. That may ruin your completely demonised image of how evil Germans are, but I cannot help it. If you want to accuse a majority of Germans of anything, than that many remained silent instead of engaging themselves in an underground resistence.

But before you complain about that, be certain that you would have the courage yourself to do that in case of living under a brutal dictatorship that kills and tortures and where police and justice do not deserve that name and where your family is at risk. It's easy to be a hero by mouth only, you know.

That's why I said in another thread some weeks ago that I do not say that I know what I would do in such extreme situations, only that I know what I hope I would have the courage to do if facing such extreme situations.
