Germans call Churchill a war criminal (HOLD MEIN BIER...YET AGAIN)

I am so angry I can barely write. Fritz: you put Hitler into power, who unleashed more hell and misery than can be described. My family livedf through the hell of the Blitz; I've been to Auschwitz and seen what you monsters did. If there had been true justice we would have beaten you to death as a nation, smashed you into a million pieces and never let you get up again. And now you complain about Winston? Shut up.

[MadIvan]

Bump!

[July 4th]

Bump for Winston, for dealing with what the world wanted to believe wasn't there.

[Aggie Mama]

I am speechless. My uncle went to Auschwitz and said that it still smells like smoke there. Once the all of the WWII generation has passed, I really fear what is going to happen over there.

[SamAdams76]

I am angry at this as well. Winston Churchill is arguably the greatest man of the 20th Century. The Germans were treated exceedingly well after the war by the Allies despite the atrocities they committed and not only did we rebuild that country but have built them into one of the world's largest economies. And this is the thanks we get?

[Grampa Dave]

Of course these Nazis had no problem with Hitler trying to kill every citizen living in London. The Nazis started the bombing of innocent civilians when they invaded Poland and when they helped their Fascist buddies in Spain.

Is this the very definition of "cheek", or does this qualify as "unmitigated gall"?

[John Lenin]

was effectively a war criminal who sanctioned the extermination of Germany's civilian population through indiscriminate bombing of towns and cities, an article in the country's biggest-circulation newspaper claimed yesterday.

What about the London bombing by the Germans? The Germans are the enemy, again ! Did anyone hear the Islamist claim that not signing Kyoto is one of the reasons why they are terrorizing us ? No doubt the EU is behind the Islamist Fanatics. I'm glad Bush spurned a meeting with Schoeder at the NATO meeting.

The Germans, as with the Japanese, have the Soviets to thank for their existance today. Without the need for strong allies to counter the new threat, there would have been no need for anything other than a heavily-taxed slave state for these two.

[Will_Zurmacht]

I thought I'd seen it all...now I really have. To have Germans criticize anyone elses wartime conduct ......outrage doesn't describe it. Even a cruel bastard like Stalin had at least 1 good idea: Turn defeated Germany into 20 starving mini-states, never to stink up the world again.

[Grampa Dave]

When Japanese complain about our two atomic bombs and forget about their attrocities, my simple reply is "When I see and hear trash like you, it is too bad we didn't 50 or 100 atomic bombs to use.

The same answer should be used with these new Nazi revisionists. It is obvious that we didn't do our job, because Nazis like you are still alive.

[chainsaw]

Give him hell Ivan. Anyone living today, that is less than 57 years old, does not know about Hitler really. The socialist liberal media has made hitler a saint in the good old USA.

[MadIvan]

Is this the very definition of "cheek", or does this qualify as "unmitigated gall"?

It's worse, it's a total outrage. My grandfather told me that the "Hun is either at your feet or at your throat". Well economically they're at our feet - I have no sympathy for their plight, in fact I hope we can put the boot in, HARD.

My relatives were at Auschwitz......in the ovens.

Anyone think that we ought to pull our military bases from Germany ought to think again.

[Mike Darancette]

Maybe we should have left Germany to the good graces of Herr Stalin.

[FreedomPoster]

Selective amnesia by idiots.

>Mr Friedrich claims the British government set out at the start of the Second World War to destroy as many German cities and kill as many of their inhabitants as possible.

Excuse me!? The British Government didn't set out to do anything but oppose German agression, which started the war.

>Civilian deaths were not collateral damage, he says, but rather the object of the exercise.

There's no doubt that the British night-time area bombardment was meant to kill and disrupt civilian population centers. This was total war against a society fully mobilized for production of armaments and support for military operations.

Tough. You started it, Deutschers, and did much worse yourselves. Suck it up.

I guess it's time to cue up my Tom Lehrer on the phono again ("Once your rockets go up who cares where they come down? That's not mein department, says Werner von Braun").

[longjack]

Exactly.

One need only consider the perils and hardships many German refugees underwent to get to the American and British Sectors immediately after the war.

SHEESH.....what is in THAT beer in Germany? I'm glad my relatives escaped in the late 1800's......
