Yes. That was the fatal mistake. And then he started blaming his own soldiers and then his own people (Germans) for being to weak. And if I remember from the books, he literally said that if Germans weren't strong enough to win the war, they should have died. Very nice man.
he was trying to get people off their asses. They were obviously being lazy and deserved to die if they were losing. How much do they REALLY love their country
It was a reaction on "foreigners talking about politics of other countries" ... If you Americans think that the rest of the world knows nothing about your politics, you're wrong. And I understand you don't know anything about ours, cause our republic's got cca 10 million citizens and you've got cca 300 million.. so.. :tongue:
that was my original point. Why do we need to worry about a country that has absolutely NO strategic value to us, militarily or financially. Its pointless.
Yes and the books also dont talk about the Batan Death March commited by the Japanese against the US soldiers they captured or much about how the US treated Japanses who were US citizens here during the 1940's and such. Books are not the greatest source if only reading a book used by the school, look at many books, consider thier message and then go from there. You are correct to a degree, in the end it was well known he did go mad, we were discussing his early years and his accomplishments. Even the issue of the Jews he had reason for some issues but not the path he took.
Did they? What would you do if you were ten yrs old, your family was dead and the only thing you've ever heard was "Führer is the best"? You would fight too, even though you couldn't imagine what you're getting into.
Actually I never liked those "school books about history" cause they were never exact. Hitler's early years were probably good. I know he had a vision and came in the right time to a right place. But what he caused...
And I am for one against our bases in other countries. I know we have enough ICBM and updated models to never need to leave the easy chair to get the job done right.
Did I compare? I honestly told you my republic was not as important as yours. Which is something that you would never do.. (cause you live in the third biggest country, I know I know I know)
Exactly my point. He "WAS" good but then like so many who get power he changed, his methods, reasoning and actions changed. At last we have agreed. I say what he did in his later years was crazy, sick, and terrible.
He got a bit mad. Imo. So, yes, he could have been a good man, but ... Let's stop this discussion. The discussion of 20yrs old chick living in a post-commie country and almost 40yrs old guy living in the USA would be a bit pointless anyways.
Size does not regulate value, look at Japan, Venezuela. You hold great value, your country for one makes some serious nice hardware CZ rifles are one the most accurate rifles ever made. Out of the box they kick ass all over American made Remingtons and Brownings. Its not opinin its facts. Your pistols are good too, durable, accurate and easy to clean.
