Not much of a choice is there?

Didn't stop White Rose.

Fight for your country that is lead by a fricking lunatic or die.

And who put said lunatic in power in the first place? And then mindlessly supported every decision he made until the war turned obviously grim? Even Germany admits to the mistakes it made during World War 2. So why defend what they won't even touch themselves?

Quote:

Dont know how many of you have read books about Wermacht fighting in the Russian front. They didnt give a flying frick about Hitler,

Except for the part where they still invaded on his orders. If they didn't give a hell, why DID they participate in the invasion so willingly?

Quote:

nor the Germany after a year or so there. They fought to survive, surrender wasnt an option, Russians were savages to them.

And none of this would have needed to happen had they not supported Hitler anyway. How ironic.

Quote:

And I cant blame them, a book I read awhile back ( I think it was the Forgotten Soldier, not sure), said how they came to an bunker, where 2 German soldiers had been killed by the Russians, the other had his face literately split in two with an axe and his gold tooth had been taken off.

War is hell. Maybe next time, Germany shouldn't start it.

If we go down this road you will have to start to look in the mirror also.
