@Zooey72:
We started the invasion for the same reason you have had American troops in your country for the last 60 years. It is a strategic location.
When did it become so strategic? What changed between 1944 and 1940?
Democracy did not take hold in Germany because of American “feel good” mentality. If that is all it took than it would have done happened after WW1.
Hmmm … there was democracy in Germany after WWI, why do you think there was not ?
The honest truth why the Germans gave up on National Socialism is because we utterly destroyed thier country.
True, and you destroyed Germany because of National Socialism. Rather simple equation for a smart person to solve, if that person wants to avoid further utter destruction.
if allowed… the Germans probably would have voted in some Nazis if they were allowed to vote for whom they wanted. Esp around places like Nuremberg.
Some did. And others of the majority made the parties illegal.
The US needs to have a presence in the middle east for the war on terrorism. Iraq is a very strategic location that we can respond to attacks from.
Why is Iraq so much better suited than Quwait and Turkey?
You have fallen for propaganda.
Disagreement is fine, polar f’d up radicalism is not.
Who watches the watchmen?
The world agrees that the US are on a good way to f’d up radicalism.
And you are wrong about the nazis “could not care less about the workers”. It was psychotic and sad, but the whole concept of National Socialism revolved around being German.
I agree with the second sentence, But where does worker equate German?
The workers were cattle to the Nazis, useful tools. Needed to be grunts. That’s why programs the Volkswagen or Kraft durch Freude (Power though joy) were created. None of them aimed at giveng the workers any more rights so. It was all “bread and games”. And that is not socialist at all.
Ernst Rohm, was a homosexual thug pedophile.
You have fallen for NAzi porpaganda. He was gay, but not pedophile.
So much so, that on the night of the long knives when he was dragged out of his bed by the SS he thought it was some kind of coup going on. He refused to believe Hitler would do that to him. He died with “Hiel Hitler” on his lips in the middle of a salute.
Hmmm … you do know that Röhm was imprisoned on the 29th June, and died in prison on the 1st July? I don’t know where you have your information from, but you should check that.
The reason Hitler got rid of Rohm is because the Army would not cooperate with the Nazis while the SA existed.
And it surely was the army who also wanted General von Schleicher, Georg Strasser and Gustav Knight of Kahr assassinated ?
The SA-Army thing was one part of the reason. The removal of critics and inner-party threats was the more important reason.
Germany was FAR from being bankrupt in 1939. Unemployment was almost non-existant in 1939.
sigh … simple counterexample: The GDR was bankrupt. The GDR had zero unemployment.
Everything the Nazis had done was financed on credit. And it was about time thtat the credits were due.
I only mention that so as to not sound like an extremist when I say I read “mien kamph” for refrences to a few pappers.
you have read it? And you still take it seriously??
If “because we said so” does not work…. than how come you have never been allowed to read it?
I explained that above, with the smart person and the equation. BTW, long live the internet ;).
