Where was all the money coming from for the arms, where was the gold being transferred when confiscated/stolen, etc. Why didn't Germany seize Switzerland and bomb the City Of London. Hitler was still leaving the international banking system intact in Europe. There's a hidden history there. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74365174 Someone did -- Antony Sutton.

They couldn't even defend an entire coastal front when they knew the allies here close to doing something. They couldn't handle fighting against Soviet troops at the eastern front... all they had to do was take Stalingrad...that's it, war would've been over for the soviets. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75220909 Funny don't you know about the Rzev battles? I was thinking about Rzev as well. Some here might want to research Rzev. All you ever hear about are the battles of Moscow and St. Petersburg (Stalingrad). The Russians came very close to losing that war. It is true that sheer force of will and ~15,000,000 Russian soldier deaths saved the day. It is also true that America provided a metaphorical mountain of war materiel to Russia. Everything from thousands of Studebaker trucks to P-39 Air Cobras to food to everything in between. Had Russia not been given this aid, the outcome could have well been different. Someone upthread mentioned that Germany never produced 4-engine bombers; had Germany produced 4-engine bombers and used them against Russian factories that had been hastily moved east, the outcome would have been different. There seems to be a fair amount of adulation for Hitler upthread as well. Had Hitler died before he attacked Poland, he might have gone down in history as one of the greatest politicians that ever lived. Let's be clear here; Hitler and his posse of nazis were totalitarian leftist fuckfaces. A good portion of the wehrmacht despised Hitler and his nazi party, probably even more do due to his egomaniacal meddling with regard to the eastern front. |

"Although Churchill had promised the French that the British would cover their escape, on the ground it was the French who held the line while the last remaining British soldiers were evacuated." [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] [...] On May 22, Churchill's Cabinet decided to retire the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) from France. Anthony Eden formally ordered the commander of the BEF, General Lord Gort, to deceive his Allies about the British Army's intention to retreat. Churchill contributed to the deception by reassuring French Premier Reynaud that Britain was firmly committed to victory. Even as the British prepared to evacuate, they tried to convince the Belgians to continue to fight. The Belgians did remain on the field of battle for an additional five days, which delayed the advance of German Army Group B toward Dunkirk. see : www.I_Love_All_Jews/jhr/v02/v02p375_Lutton.html (link is censored by GLP) Hitler wrote on May 25 to Mussolini "The Belgian soldier, too, has generally fought very bravely. [...] At the beginning his tenacity was astounding. This is now decreasing visibly as the Belgian soldier realises that his basic function is to cover the British retreat".

Every fucking one of you fails to notice the WW 2 began with 2 allied nations invading an innocent 3rd nation. The two allied invaders were Nazi Germany and the USSR who both invaded POLAND to split it between themselves. When did the USSR become an ally and Germany become the enemy? Dresden was bombed solely because Slavs escaping from the Soviet Union were there because they were led to believe that the lack of war industy would render it safe. The fact is that the bombing of innocent escapes from the horrors of the communist state were done to appease Stalin and had nothing to do with winning the war and everything to keep the American public from learning about the horrors of communism which far out-horrored anything the Nazis got to accomplish. Nazis only had about 10 years of slave labor and extermination camps while the communists invented them and ran them nonstop from 1917 to 1989 without any interference from the West Every one of you fucking FAILS history. |
