>>> it wasn’t just Germans who were on the receiving end of partisan activities many ordinary people who wanted no truck with the Nazis but who just as importantly wanted nothing to do with Soviet backed Communists either were often victims of the partisans. <<<

Oh, so the Polish and other partisans in Nazi-occupied Mitteleuropa were just “Soviet backed communists”? Fighting merely for ideological reasons? Really, Mister history-buff? I had no idea that situation then was so simple! Certainly not as simple as your over-generalizations.

>>> Try reading a bit of history before you fly off the handle. <<<

Try choosing your words carefully before you slander those who died defending their communities and nations from Nazi slavery.

Er no, and nowhere did I suggest that all partisans were Soviet backed Communists, but a heck of a lot of them were and the victims of such people might not share your peculiarly starry eyed view of those men’s activities.

Try not to view everything in black and white, don’t be so naive, not everything breaks down into simple ‘good guy/bad guy’ narratives.
