General Milhialovitch and the Chetniks

Yes indeed. Milhialovitch was a great man and was respected deeply by our downed pilots. He was executed and many others were executed after his fake Communist trial.

There is literally nothing they will not claim to be (insert Nazi, Fascist, White Supremacist, Racist here).

Nothing.

No matter how ridiculous it makes them to claim it.

The swastika is an ancient symbol. For the Finns it was a symbol of happiness.

“However the Swastika has survived in Finnish culture, being seen on textiles and art in association with the age old belief that it is an Nordic symbol for Happiness. Also it is still used by the Finnish Defence Forces, the Air Force uses it on its colours as well as shoulder insignia. Some Army units use the symbol too, most notably the Utti Jaeger Regiment (Finland’s Special Forces). It still appears in various medals and decorations, the most famous being the Order of the Cross of Liberty. The collar of The Order of the White Rose of Finland originally had 9 Swastikas on it but these were replaces by Fir crosses in 1963 by order of President Urho Kekkonen when he learnt of President Charles De Gaulle’s discomfort of wearing Swastikas. “

Astonishing Story of Survival by Jews of Finland

Jewish soldiers of the Finnish Army, who were allied with Nazi Germany, outside the makeshift synagogue near the front lines during World War II.

The history of the Jews of Finland that John Simon relates in his new book, “Strangers in a Stranger Land,” is an extraordinary tale of Jewish survival during World War II. Although the Jewish communities of Europe were decimated by the Nazi war machine, in Finland not a single Finnish Jew was harmed during the war.

As brave and dedicated members of Finland’s army, which was an ally of Nazi Germany, they fought alongside Nazi soldiers without ever experiencing anti-Semitism.

Because of their heroic stand against the Russians, three of the Jews were awarded the Iron Cross, Nazi Germany’s highest military honor. None of the three accepted the medal.

At one point Heinrich Himmler, the head of Hitler’s SS, visited Finland. He offered the Finns help in solving their “Jewish problem.” He was curtly informed that Finland had no Jewish problem.

Finland wasn't an ally, rather a co beligerant.

Interesting. I did not know the story, thank you.

...or if the libs honestly believe this. Using "honestly" in the same sentence with "libs" is incorrect.

The US Navy hires Nazi architects. Lawsy!/s

[zek157]

That is interesting.

I don’t know that I would call Finland a belligerent. Ever hear of their 1939-40 winter war with the Soviets? They were fortunate to survive WW II mostly intact.

[SJackson]

Perhaps not the best word. By co belligerent I meant on the side of Germany against Russia only, not beyond that, thus not an ally.

Oh, my word. Lay off the botox and fillers, Ashley.

#7. Where did you get that great aerial photo of the Democrat Party headquarters??? ! !!!

#25. The “swastika” design (i.e. bend lines) has been used for thousands of years from the Buddhists to the American Indians. I saw some on old Vietnamese tombstones in So. Vietnam - Mekong Delta, because the deceased were Buddhists.

[I saw leftist doctors/Democrats giving conservatives the “middle finger” saying that it was just an imitation of a “Chinese anal swab” used for the Coronavirus. /SARC

Talking about “Red Stars”, try the HEINKEN BEER label.

LOL!

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Bet you didn’t know that Chinese proctologists were also pirates. Why else would they say, “Ahoy me swabbies, time to go to work”?

People who spend their lives looking for something to be offended by, offend me.
