Finally, someone points that out. I can't believe I'm reading these sob stories about innocent civilians. IT WAS AN ALL OUT NO HOLDS BARRED SURVIVAL WAR THAT GERMANY, ITALY, AND JAPAN STARTED. I'm glad the Allies devastated those totalitarian pricks and yes, their civilian enablers.
I'm with Patton who believed we should have kicked Russia's ass when we had the chance. I so tired of revisionists as they try to look so intellectual while they parse every little thing in history. Personally, I think we should have made Iraq a US protectorate territory after that win, while returning Aftganiscrap into their beloved 7th century shithole.
Why is it we are the only nation through history that always gives back the spoils of war? Hell, we could own Germany, Italy, Japan, Iraq, and other countries we've liberated through our childrens' blood.
USA! USA! THE most successful, most envied, generous, liberty example this rock has ever seen.
This sort of article by the Daily Mail is written in hopes of making the relativistic comparison between Allied actions by the western allies, Allied actions by the Soviets and Axis actions by the Nazi. All actions by those of the past are equally bad in this sort of analysis.
Thus all “religion” is myth and superstition when viewed from a modern relativistic view point.
In this period of the European Theater, Russia was promised action by the western allies in Eastern Germany to help the resurgence of Russia who had paid greatly to stop and then throw back the Nazi eastern campaign.
I agree with your assessment.
