Just remember that two of the greatest men on opposing sides - Patton and Rommel - were both killed by the "Deep State" of their own day. At the top of the pyramid there were no good guys. I'd rather use this thread to honor the men on the ground. Any stories and memories from those who knew them would be appreciated. My own father served in the infantry in Patton's Third Army. He made it to an area just outside of Nancy, France and was wounded from small arms and shrapnel fire in fierce fighting. |

Quoting: TheOriginalMexicanBob (to play videos, click within thread, otherwise you'll have to sign in on Youtube as they flag these videos as offensive for some reason) But it was ww2 that took these men from the world. Think about what kind of people we'd have if they didn't serve and die in ww2? We'd have captains, warriors, servants of the Almighty. War...terrible change on timelines and bloodlines. Genetics get tossed out the door. |

Try researching that Commie plot- my dad saw what Commies did to Berlin and what they were doing in America. And yes, they were mislead by an huge propaganda machine which advocated for war. We should know better by now, but things today look grim. |
