But in the end, the desperation and courage of the Russians -- knowing defeat would mean probable death, the destruction of their homeland, subjugation to an occupying foreign power, etc. -- prevailed. [/quote] You might have forgotten that the US contributed much of the machinery that allowed the Soviet war machine to prevail, as did the Political Commissars penchant for shooting anyone who retreated towards them waiting in the rear, naturally. [/quote] Absolutely. We did the same. [/quote] The Russians sent men into battle with no weapons with the intent that they should somehow find and strip the dead of theirs. I don't beleive the US ever did anything close to that, or shot men wholesale for retreating. You can try to prove your claims but I suspect you'll change the subject, like a bitch. [/quote] I was destroying your original post, which I did successfully. You said the Soviets shot deserters. I said we did, as well. Time for you to stop watching John Wayne movies. [/quote] No, I said Russians shot retreaters, not deserters. There's a difference to normal people, though not one you'd notice. In fact I can be fairly sure that you can get some ACCURATE accounts of it at family/tribal reunions. [/quote] Gettin' a little pissy, aren'tcha, Susie? [/quote] Nope I'm leaving being the lying little pussy all for yourself as it suits you so well. [/quote] Go read another Tom Clancy novel, Nancy. You've inhaled too much glue building your WW2 model war machinery. Open a window next time. [/quote]
Original Message
He makes it seem like the evacuation at Dunkirk was some sort of heroic event on the part of the Allies. Bullshit! The only reason the Allies escaped was because Uncle Adolf allowed them to escape. Hitler's infamous "Stop Order" is the reason the allies escaped. It wasn't due to any nail-biting, heroic action on the part of the Allies. Christopher Nolan is a bullshit artist. He should have made a movie about the real heroes of the Battle of France, the Wehrmacht - the greatest fighting force in the history of warfare:
