hahaha. They resent Germany?
Go see the movie, “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.”
Du hast Recht!And her title is Chancellor, not Mrs.
I’m reading Blitz now, story of one week in London in September 1940. Not sure if I can stomach another book about my vicious ancestors for at least another month.
They draw a parallel between the occupation and the current government…how??
I doubt that you had SS troopers in your family. Serving in the German Armed Forces was not dishonorable of itself. Even the Pope was an antiaircraft loader in either the Army or the Air Force. (AA was usually a Luftwaffe task.)I’m reading Blitz now, story of one week in London in September 1940. Not sure if I can stomach another book about my vicious ancestors for at least another month.
No, but what Germany did in the London Blitz is abominable. Among with all the rest they did.
What the Americans did to Hamburg, Dresden, Cologne, and other such cities was no less abominable. Millions of civilians incinerated. No wonder Air Marshal Harris did not receive any awards after the war and was referred to, by his own men, as “Butcher Harris.”
Very sad when war comes to this. I find very few Germans, however, who condemn this American action.What the Americans did to Hamburg, Dresden, Cologne, and other such cities was no less abominable.

BTW, the Allies lost more men over Germany than did the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps lose throughout the entire Pacific campaign.

That is fairly ironic, considering that it is Greece which recently elected a contingent of neo-Nazis to its parliament.
Because the Greek police forces all but turned the security of the nation over to the Neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn due to a lack of resources. They’ve been running amok violently attacking non-Greeks ever since without repercussions.

That would probably be a relief to the Germans.
I think you might be mixing up the French here.How exhausted could they be? Don’t they only work 11 months out of the year?
Interesting how opinion of Germans has changed over the last few decades.
I did a research paper in college on the subject and came to the same conclusion. Of course, that was 35 years ago when we were still using the card catalog in the university library to “look things up.”
Interesting that you did. I recall reading where some person or other wrote (half in jest, maybe, but no more than half) that there is more of classic Greek culture and heritage in Edinburgh than there is in Athens.Interesting how opinion of Germans has changed over the last few decades.
