There was no doubt that Private Blake W. Mariano of the 191st Tank Battalion was a brave man. As part of the American Army's 45th Infantry Division, he had killed many Germans as he fought through Africa, Italy and southern France, before finally, in March 1945, he and his Sherman tank had crossed the Rhine into Germany. By April 15, 1945, Mariano had been away from his home in New Mexico for nearly three years. A father of three, the 29-year-old was divorced, although he did have a girlfriend in England.

The Germans did more than their share of raping when they were conquering countries.
No, we were better than that, we built up Germany with the Marshall Plan, while the Soviets were looting their sector of Germany and sending whole plants back to Mother Russia.
I kind of believe you are.
If the Germans had been blowing up US countries, if the Germans had been invading and raping and rounding up US Jews, I am certain that our attitudes would be different. If US civilians had to fight on US soil and had to watch their family members get blown up, shot, raped by Germans and Japanese, I am sure we’d be rooting for brutal payback and Eisenhower would be ordering US troops to do what the Russians did to the Germans.
Russians paid a high, high price and mainly kept the bulk of the German army occupied through attrition.
What does that have to do with your accusation against Americans?
Mostly due to Stalin's incompetence and brutality against his own soldiers.
If you don’t like war then don’t wage war and you won’t have a problem getting killed.
Wow
You take the cake honey
So some teen German girl deserved it huh ....she let the Nazis take power and all
Did you really say that or did I misunderstand
By your logic I should organize a group of white men to go rape black women pell mell across America
Whites have been murdered and raped and assaulted by blacks at epidemic rates now in the millions the past 40 years here
Crazy for Free Republic
Man
Sometimes on this forum these days it’s like twilight zone
Who are these maniacs
You are one twisted sister as you keep trying to portray rape as normal and claiming that our dads were raping their way across Europe like the evil and murderous Russians and Nazis.
The Nazis and Russians were allies at the beginning of the war, and the Russians remained evil after the war.
Were you raised on feminists like Susan Brownmiller?
Russians started the war as Nazi allies.
I don’t know how you could infer that from what I said. But you did. So I must not have been clear enough.
Waving away axis atrocities in an attempt to avoid comparing the magnitude of war crimes is not acceptable.
“If you don’t like war then don’t wage war and you won’t have a problem getting killed.”
Because as Nately’s whore’s grandfather says in Catch-22, “it is better to live on your knees than to die on your feet.”
SORRY!!!
I got you basakwards in post 60, and totally misunderstood your post.
Unfortunately, some Americans have gotten soft and think pacifism will protect them. They’re usually the first to die due to their own stupidity.
First, I’m just posting the story. That is all.
I am NOT and NEVER will be a man hating feminist!
Where did that come from?
Brownmiller believes that all men are rapists, as you do.
Just as you think that rape is just something that American soldiers do as part of the expression of anger at the enemy, so does Brownmiller think of it as just a normal part of the process of expressing anger or revenge, or something similar.
“Brownmiller argues that rape “is nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which **all men** keep all women in a state of fear.””
Exactly. By Stalin himself.
Apparently Stalin was a real weirdo (an animal)in addition to being a brutal dictator.
