Nazi Summer Camp

Funny, but I always noticed that: the US always seemed to describe German soldiers as "the Nazis", and the Russians always seemed to refer to them as "the fascists". Of course there would have been many of them who were not, but the US and Russia always seemed to use this political mode of description; I think the Brits just called them "Jerries".

I haven't listened to the link yet, I just thought I'd put that in first...

The Slovene term is ''švaba'' or ''schwaba'' and not all Germans were from Schwabia

My grandfather's brother was a German pilot who was a POW in Louisiana, then got out and flew for the US.

I have been listening to about 3-4 podcasts a day for the last couple weeks now. Excellent stuff.
