I do not wish to be thought a Nazi Sympathizer here, but the Germans got a bum rap on how many Russians they killed. The truth is, Germans only accounted for roughtly 3-5 million casualties in that war, Stalin is directly responsible for nearly 15 million russian deaths, between his purges and his having all his experienced military staff killed or enslaved in his gulags.
Nazi Germany was evil, I agree but lets blame them for their actions and not heap other people evils on to them. |

I suspect Donut was referring to this sentence:
Why would you flame Uss? Because he was in the wrong side, yes? Well, anyone, who tells him he's nazi because he didn't think he'd like to be in the side of Americans, English nor the russians when talking bout the war, should shut up. To which I say "THRRRRRPP!!!" |

At the end of the day this is a private forum, so I'm not really prepared to listen to freedom of speech arguments. Certain things we just don't talk about. This is Ziroc's house, he is our friend - be polite and respectful at all times. [img]graemlins/kissy2.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]yes, i have taken your words into careful consideration. i extra said to my brother that he will NOT flame anybody a couple of times [img]smile.gif[/img] . i hope nothing bad like flaming happens in this thread. i respect the rules, trust me btw, this topic is also very interesting to me because im protecting the "wrong" side. |

Khazman...your comments about the Soviets was right on. There were more than enough attrocities by the soviets to hold war crimes trials...but it never happened.

Just wanted to post that Uss is right about one thing at least, not all the German troops were guilty of war crimes or atrocities, Many of the Regular Army groups were honorable in combat, Erwin Rommel in particular refused to mistreat his prisoners in Africa (while he was there at least) in direct violation of orders from Hitler.
I prefer accuracy to whitewashing whole groups of people due to the actions of a few or even most. |

overall, one thing i truly belive about WW2 is that though the Nazi were evil and sometimes brutal, Soviet was worse. |

Erm, Uss, I'd just like to point out that what your brother said may be innacurate (hey, look! I'm being a lot more diplomatic than usual! WOW! )
Nazi Germany was not "Losing the war from the beggining". In fact, if they had not taken on Russia, they probably would have invaded Britain. Hey, France fell.
