My dad was with Patton’s Thrid Army...He stayed in Europe after the war for a little over a year as an MP Lt...

He liked the German people and said hat a lot of the German soldiers were NOT Nazis, but were common German draftees...

He said he agreed with what General Patton had said after the war about re-arming the German people and driving out the Russians...

Oops...Thrid = Third....

They wouldn't have been saying they weren't Nazis if they had won the war they started. Stupid servile scum. I've known dozens of men who served in the ETO, and, as I have said here many times before, that includes members of my family and they would have gladly not have had to have their young lives interrupted, sent to another European war because a shrieking , anti-Semitic , misanthropic Austrian madman decided he and the ‘’ master race’’ were going to dominate the world. It certainly goes without saying that I'm no one on this Earth to say Mr Smoyer is wrong to feel the way he does. He was there, I wasn't. I just have had ETO vets tell me, to sum it up, "Jeez, ya know, when we finally got into Germany so many of 'em would tell us how much they hated Hitler and how everyone had been against him. Left us wondering if that was the case how'd he get into power?. For crying out loud if they weren't trying to kill you one minute, they'd be asking you for cigarettes the next!''
