C yes we shot those as well at the ugly small one, funny I always missed his head, my wife blew his top off several times
Hi Scott, yeah--my feelings exactly. Anna usually lives here about 6 or so months of the year and then she stays in Calif/ the rest of the time. I know some of hre stay in Calif/ is because that's where her three Sons live. Get this, all three of her Sons are Doctors. One is a Dentist, another is a General Practitioner and the third is a bone-specialist. Anyway, she is now in Calif/ and is due back here I think in March or April. I don't blame her at all though, the scenery is nices as well as the climate is too. I think she stays somewhere around San louis Obispo (SP?) or in the area. Perhaps E knows the place im talking about? Im not even sure if that is the correct name?
yeah their coming out with another soon! YouTube - Castle Wolfenstein (Return to Castle Wolfenstein 2)= I don't know what it is that interests me so much in the Nazis, maybe because they were such a enigma. I mean what group/government/movement in the 19th centry had hundreds of people marching in a certain formation holding torches so that from above it would have the look of a flaming swastika? who took entire countries over in a blink of an eye with the blitzkrieg tactic which the USA would change to "shock and awe", who had the heartless will to send hundreds and hundreds of his own soldiers into steel hail "USSR"? To quote Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade referring to the quest for the holy grail; "If it is captured by the Nazis the armies of darkness will march all over the face of the Earth". "Nature is cruel; therefore we are also entitled to be cruel. When I send the flower of German youth into the steel hail of the next war without feeling the slightest regret over the precious German blood that is being spilled, should I not also have the right to eliminate millions of an inferior race that multiplies like vermin?" -Adolf Hitler
Are shat I'm screwed. May as well slip on a SS uniform and draw up plans to invade the next street. One git here who uses the Nazi/race card is Ken Livingstone, folks here in the UK know what I'm talking about.
Most people only know the standard media version of nazism and Hitler and never learn anything else. I'm considered a nazi because of my collection of books and things on Hitler and ww2. I have a party armband and badge I bought at a shop in Milwaukee years ago. Collecting is way too expensive for me. I don't have my khaki brown shirts any more (US Navy chief type). I'm a typical ex-military right-wing nationalist, so by media, politically correct standards I must be a nazi. However, I like being an American nationalist, not a nazi.
According to these views I am, alas, a Nazi. Ignorance is bliss and most people are full of it. When I bought my first piece of Militaria(an Imperial calvary sword made in 1916) I was shunned by my own family for loving Hitler too much. ITS FROM WW1 NOT 2. anyways its why I no longer buy my books from bookstores but from Amazon
Hey Richard, just look at it this way, you might be the best on your block at tossing grenades the furthest ;-)) ChiefGeorge, Mike, well-said.
Yesterday I had a great Saurerkraut but this morning I woke up with a strong feeling to goose step and invade Poland. anzerattack: Am I normal Doktor Freud:hypnotize: anic:?
Interesting topic! I'm glad it's been rekindled since its inception so that I could find it. Well, I've never been called a Nazi due to my interest in WW2 history. I find the Nazi war machine, esp their aircraft, a fascinating thing to study and learn more about. I made models as a kid of 109s and Ju88s, but now it is neat to read about them and how and why each type of plane - fighter, bomber, etc - was built and how it fulfilled its specific function.
Well said guys, CD13, that reminds me of the frst two models I built. The first one wasa Fokker tri-plane-The Red Baron's Triplane to be exact. That one lasted for about an hour or so after I finished it. I was a kid, and had thought how cool it would be to tie kite strings to it around the wing supports-and I went across the street to the Lutheran Church located there. This particular Church has it's Spire built on a triangular brick foundation and placed on top. Well, at first it was great to be "flying" this model and trying to land it in the grass. I had been doing so for quite awhile but on one of my circles, I smashed it headlong into the brick base of that Spire. The "red Baron" was again - grounded. The next model I built was a 3 foot long model of the Battleship Tirpitz. That darn thing took me all Summer long to build. Sadly, it too bit the dust. This time to BB Gun Artillery.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the Nazis only did what they THOUGHT was the best for their country.
guess I must be one as well..........bah ! I find the recent photo sent to me yesterday taken in Austria quite sobering and a grim reminder of the futility of war from all nations, their youth served and died ........ Schlaft gut
yes it is near St. Polten several of the members that have fallen and laid to rest were on an aerial operation against US 15th Air Force bombers, they were flying the heavy Fw 190A-8/R2's of IV.Sturm/JG 3. Am helping an Austrian research friend with some of the material on these chaps, a/c and the battle itself which was August 23, 1944, actually a confusing air battle really for some of the data. thanks for asking E ~
