You make the fault that you set German equals Nazi. This is plain wrong. The very most people weren´t Nazis, they kept silent, even because they were oppressed by the regime. It´s not like that the NSDAP asked the voters and the President (who appointed Hitler to Chancellor): "Do you want a global war, do you want us to kill all Jews, do you want to lose your rights to opposition, free speech, regualar fair elections?"
Of course, everybody who actively and voluntary followed the Nazi course against minorities (not only Jews, though they were the highest number) deserves what he has got.
But tell me why the German Private at the front in Russia deserved to die of hunger or a disease as a POW in a Sibirian camp in 1955 (!), or why the German women deserved to be expelled from her home in East Prussia? Tell me why the Hitler Youth member with 14 years deserved to be killed by a British grenade in the last days of war? They didn´t deserve their fate.
Learn that we practise the principle of individual guilt.
Compare Iraq of 1991 with Germany of 1939. When you think that the German people as a whole deserved to be destroyed, do you think that the Iraqis should have been bombed out in 1991? Do you think that intentional destroying of houses and flats (=killing civilians) is a proper way of leading a war?
I hope your answer is no. Then please use this measure for your view on the WW2-history.
Please see my post #11. The last time I dealt with WW2 bombing, I was savaged on this web. I stayed off for a week,about a month ago.
Something tells me I should now hold my peace. I will post no more on this subject,following this quote. They know whom this riposte is for- not you. Only the fact that we were told in the war, that the Germans started the civilian bombing, and NOW known that it was LIES. (Re: Wilhelmshafen,German port. Sept 4th 1939) - gives me the unwise decision to post again.
