You do not speak German.
You're welcome.
They were prisoners of concentration camps. How do you find that objectionable???????
Nope. He lost the President's race to a conservative. But, no party won an outright majority in the Reichstag, so the Nazis as the largest party were asked to form a coalition government. They made Hitler the Chancellor. Then, in the following months they pulled off what amounted to a coup d'etat. It was the last free election until after the war.
That said, I will concede that as long as Hitler was winning, he seemed to have much popular support.
No, what I am saying is that the Irish didn't want the Brits in Ireland and many Iraqis (mostly Sunnis) don't want the U.S. in Iraq. There are inhumane methods of dealing with guerillas, some of which have been suggested here, like terror bombings or doing a Dresden on Fallujah . . . .
As to a book that would solve the Iraq war - if you discover it, let General Petreus know about it immediately.
The only method I can think of that would stop the Iraq war without further death is deportations to a distant land, like the British shipped their convicts to Australia. Say an area like Fallujah or the Anbar province persists in attacking U.S. troops, all residents would be shipped to (fill in the blank - Kenya? with payment for their lost property) Result: no more fighting in Fallujah and no more deaths either of U.S. troops or local residents and no terror bombing.
....One reason Mecca wasn't turned into an empty sandpile on 9/12 was our "guilt" from WWII!....
Drivel, absolute drivel.
For those of you in Rio Linde, Mecca is in Saudi Arabia and the Saudi's are our friend and ally.
And al qaeda and Syria and Iran and other jihadi's don't want us in Iraq.
Iraq is not a local "don't want you here" type situation. It is war with fundamental Islam.
Children are taught to hate us as soon as they can read.
The war is just simmering now but does not campare with small local problems like Britain had.
At some point it is going to start to boil. But before that we need ot deny them any country to base in.
Auschwits was a prison camp so calling the people who were there prisoners is appropriate. Birkenau was the death camp. It's in Schindler's List. Oh boy, I know petronski wishes he had posting rights again otherwise he'd be all over this thread.
One of the most amazing things about WWII that I realize, as I learn more and more about that war is why the Nazis never used nerve gas on London.

There were three camps - Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II (Birkenau) and Auschwitz III (Manowitz - Buna).
Auschwitz II (Birkenau) was "Vernichtungslager." (extermination camp) Standard Oil's syntetic rubber factory was located in Auschwitz III (Buna)
Auschwitz III was a work camp on paper but NO inmates got out of there alive. They were starved and worked to death. Buna was a death camp, just like Birkenau, only the method was different. Inmates were not fed at all, only given some chemical concoction called "Buna soup" that allowed body to metabolyze their own body fat and proteins at fast rate. In a week, they would get speciffic look and would die soon afterwards. A starving human could survive for 40 days. None of them survived that long.
This savagery is among the most inhuman among the numeorous Nazi atrocities, yet, it is rather little known.
Saying that Allies did not bomb Buna because of "the prisoners" is rather cynical.
The point I wanted to make:
-civilians of German cities were bombed, yet it did not change Nazi resolve to fight till the Ruskies came to Berlin
-Nazi industrial output was mostly unaffected by aerial bombardment(according to McNamara).
All this at horrible 50% casualty toll on USAAF.
Yet, the railway infrastructure leading to extermination camps was not destroyed and extermination camps worked till the Nazi bitter end.
Okay point taken but Standard Oil synthetic rubber????
Hadn't that already been proven in 1943 with the fire-bombing of Hamburg?
And God bless the veterans and the memory of those who have left.
Now that´s one of the dumbest justification for Dresden I´ve heard. Are you comparing Germany/Japan with the Muslim countries? It didn´t need to simply burn civilians to make the minds of the surviving accepting the following occupation. The military defeat and occupation would have been enough, simply because the Japanese and Germans aren´t self-destructive just like the Jihadists.
Oh sure, the civilians surely bombed London before, they had this coming to them. Tell your words the people in the graves.
Really? Did Goebbels ask every German, from the newborn up to the old Granpa? And they all said "Ja"?? It´s more that the audiance was carefully selected, so that nobody could screm "Nein".
