Honestly

The claim the Wermacht at Stalingrad were cowards is running loose with facts

It was a meat grinder for all

Bash Nazis all you want but the average German grunt....especially on the eastern front fighting the Red Army was hardly a coward

Their survival rates were ominous

*wonder if Goetz knows I still ping him a decade later?

Good morning Sir,

Sorry to offend you and your fanaticism with the Nazis. I was trying to make a point about snipers on the battlefield. You have to admit that Russian snipers did their thing. Not only that I wholly believe that the Russians ended WWII at least with the Nazis (Japanese; the US). Hitler f$%#ed up big time going into Russia during the winter and undersupplied no less (big balls and/or stupid). Anyways, the German war machine that rose to power by committing crimes against humanity are not brave. That is cowardly. They fought like hell on the battle field and their weapons were state of the art but nothing like a totalitarian dictatorship to light a fire up under your arse ay? Had it not been for the holocaust and they were simply trying to “expand their territory” maybe I’d agree with you, but the Nazis were monsters and snipers took a lot of them out. The thing about the Wermacht at Stalingrad is that they met a superior force than them, that’s a fact. Regardless of casualty numbers and if it was a meat grinder for all, the Wermacht aren’t worthy of honor on the battlefield, because they shouldn’t have been the bully that started a fight and lost.
