Truth is 90% never wanted to be there and were sent into an early grave for and by corporate shills, and now they prepare the next batch to die without questioning. I am not contesting the bravery of all those who died, but this above and beyond the call of duty shit only represent less than 1% of all those who've ever fought in any way ever. Pure propaganda to brainwash 18 years old into laying down their lives for the banks, they wont be heroes they will be scared shitless and dead. [/quote] And it's always American and British. Very little effort is spent on telling the tale of the Eastern Front (Russians), where MOST of the men, machinery, battles, casualties, and deaths occurred in the European theater. [/quote] Dont forget the part where America won a whole world war by itself twice! How? By joining when the enmy has already lost, kicking them when they are down and claiming victory. Ww1 was already won when the Americans arrived and WW2 the Russians were already rolling towards Berlin and all of the sudden Europe is important enough.. [/quote] WW1? Britain was on the ropes. Germany was winning WW1 at the time; and not one enemy soldier set foot on German soil prior to America entering in the war. [/quote] Even AFTER the U.S. entered WW1, no enemy soldier ever set foot on German soil. Yet Germany unconditionally surrendered. Only time in history this occurred. [/quote] Good point, but it was called an Armistice by the New "Weimar Republic". Here is a Letter from WW1, by a soldier that was no less aware of media influence, than we are today. I wonder who owned the newspapers back then? Same people as today? "I have no idea what we are still fighting for anyway, maybe because the newspapers portray everything about the war in a false light which has nothing to do with the reality.....There could be no greater misery in the enemy country and at home. The people who still support the war haven't got a clue about anything...If I stay alive, I will make these things public...We all want peace...What is the point of conquering half of the world, when we have to sacrifice all our strength?..You out there, just champion peace! … We give away all our worldly possessions and even our freedom. Our only goal is to be with our wife and children again," Anonymous Bavarian soldier, 17 October 1914 [/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:
