Ukraine war mega thread

[helge]

That is not why he was reprimanded by Eisenhower

Hmm. I think I know what you refer to. His rescue attempt of his son in law ?

However:
Patton attracted controversy as military governor when it was noted that several former Nazi Party members continued to hold political posts in the region.^[187] When responding to the press about the subject, Patton repeatedly compared Nazis to Democrats and Republicans in noting that most of the people with experience in infrastructure management had been compelled to join the party in the war, causing negative press stateside and angering Eisenhower.^[193][194] On September 28, 1945, after a heated exchange with Eisenhower over his statements, Patton was relieved of his military governorship

You are a bot and an idiot.

No need for that

[bsnub]

No need for that

Patton attracted controversy as military governor

Patton was a nutcase and would have supported drumpf

This sort of thing worked well for Genghis Khan. He always used defeated folks as administrators and in other official capacities. Patton was probably right in hiring Nazis to get things organized.

They were good at running camps

Are you serious ?

[bsnub]

They were good at running camps

They learned it from Churchill and the Brits. The English really hated the Afrikaners and sent them to the first concentration camps.

Better than being a constantly ignorant little prick you constantly ignorant little prick.

Stinky snubs take a break, a permanent break. Go drink some cool-aide

Anyway, back to the subject at hand,

[Norton]

They were good at running camps

Many were but if we are defining Nazis as anyone in the German military or the 8.5 million Nazi party members, most had nothing to do with the death camps.

Comparing the Nazi party to Democrats or Republicans not the best choice of words George could have used but he was speaking a fact.

What a dimwitted fucktard.

They all knew
Some said they didn't

What would you have said ?

Comparing the Nazi party to Democrats or Republicans not the best choice of words George could have used but he was speaking a fact.

He was in charge of denazification.

Which didn't go well in the west and was the trigger of stuff taking place late sixties and onwards

[bsnub]

They all knew

No they didn't. They heard later after the fact and should in no way be held accountable for the SS and Nazi's. Rommel was the first to sacrifice himself. Stop being a grovelling apologist.

I am so sick of you Deutschlanders who want to wipe all history away.

[helge]

Just forget it, Bsnub

But do have a read

Germans knew of Holocaust horror about death camps | UK news | The Guardian

Stop being a grovelling apologist.

By all means do come back and .......apologise


If you can

[Norton]

What would you have said ?

Would have done a Trump response to the question. "Ya know what does all this denazification stuff mean? Come on. Give me a break here. Some Nazis are good people. We had good people on both sides.

[russellsimpson]

This sort of thing worked well for Genghis Khan. He always used defeated folks as administrators and in other official capacities. Patton was probably right in hiring Nazis to get things organized.

Definitely right.

[russellsimpson]

Some Nazis are good people. We had good people on both sides

Points for effort.

No wonder the two of you feels at home in the Democratic Monarchy of Thailand.

Yes, I know that he was reprimanded already before end of war, and what for. That did not hamper to be reprimanded again. And perhaps it had only helped to that how he ended up few months later.

To be "a bot and an idiot" is for you not so difficult. After all, you read only "independent sources", don't you?

[OhOh]

Fortress of Moral and Human Rights

Shit that wasn't on my checklist of reasons to spend some time in Canada, China or Thailand.

Or on my list of reasons to spend some time in UK.

Or the Thai immigration form I was forced to complete before being allowed through BKK Immigration.

To be honest I was aware of the lack of Italian Opera houses, but the beaches and Wats made up for that loss.

36 Questions About the Holocaust

The thread should be about Ukraine, not the fucking Holocaust.

Points for effort.

Best I could do. Was late and needed sleep. Plus we are moving off topic.
Appears Russian troops are finished their "exercise" and going home.
Wonder why?

[sabang]

Storm in a teacup really, although CNN's epic blunder did provide some cheap laughs.

[russellsimpson]

Appears Russian troops are finished their "exercise" and going home.

Yup, a good wonder.

I was surprised and suspect that within the next week we will figure out what prompted the withdrawal. I know it sounds nutso but I wonder if that private phone call between Biden and Putin didn't have something to do with it.

The news media on both sides are constantly overwhelming us with drama ridden bullshit.

What do you think of the quiet phone call idea Norton?

[sabang]

It just seemed the usual shadowboxing bullshit to me, a silly game that all the powers play. Were people seriously scared about an impending 'Russian invasion'? I mean, why- Europe is both Russia's biggest customer and largest foreign investor. Not to mention the small matter of the Nato alliance.

[bsnub]

Hmm. I think I know what you refer to. His rescue attempt of his son in law ?

He was reprimanded for slapping two soldiers who had "battle fatigue". A rather major event in WW2 history actually.

[russellsimpson]

I've never understand the American fascination with Patton, nobody else actually gives a shit about "old blood and guts."
