9/11 This happened during WW2 on September 12th. It illusrated what kind
of justice American unleash upon otherwise professional German
Navy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laconia_incident
\_ Cool! Chicom Troll is back, I was getting worried. -John
\_ I remember watching something on the History Channel about some WWII
German ships trying to attack a British ship which was rescuing
German sailors from a German boat it had sunk earlier, forcing the
British ship to stop the rescue operation, abandon the remaining
Germans still in water, and fled the scene. These things are just
facts of warfare. After the war was over, the British sailors and
the rescued German sailors on that ship had regular reunions
together in memory of the event.
My impression from TV and movies are that the western militaries
My impression from TV and movies is that the western militaries
of both the Axis and the Allies were highly professiona. (The
Japanese were probably not. Didn't know about the other Asian
ones.) I was most touched by a scene in the last episode of the
ones.) I was most touched by a scene in the last episode of
Band of Brothers, which, after Germany surrendered, the German
officer drew his career-long side arm and offered to the American
officer drew his career-long sidearm and offered to the American
officer as a sovenior, saying "it's better than letting it sit on
some clark's desk collecting dust". In response the American offer
got up from his chair-rocking lay-back posture to standing-up in
full-alert, saying "you can keep you side arm, officer." Then they
full-alert, saying "you can keep you sidearm, officer." Then they
saluted.
\_ The Japanese army was highly professional, but adhered to
different "rules" of war, like Germans in Russia. In any case,
there are several examples of alleged Allied war crimes (check
wikipedia for a fun shitfight on the topic), many of which
weren't prosecuted because they sort of went under in the
general confusion, or it was felt the end justified the means.
The Laconia incident, while real, is a hilarious example of
ChiCom troll's ninja troll-fu, though, in the context of "ha ha
you puny American, you think you so good, well you do xyz <dig
up random unconnected irrelevant obscure badness>." -John

7/17 Dutch to allow pedophile political party
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/5187010.stm
\_ Hmm, what's The Netherland's immigration policy for Americans?
\_ ew.
\_ So what? Democracy isn't something you should be afraid of.
\_ Having a pedophile party isn't democracy. It is the
institutionalizing of criminally aberrant behavior.
\_ Only if anyone votes for them... As soon as you say "some laws
shouldn't be democratically decided, ever" then you have to
have someone who _doesn't_ represent the people create them,
and that's trouble. Of course pedophilia is abhorrent, this
isn't institutionalizing anything. The US has a pot party,
that hasn't made pot legal.
\_ The US has a pot party. The US also is leaning towards
making pot legal and has done so locally in many places.
Without a group pushing for the decriminalisation of
criminal acts, they will remain criminal. With a group
pushing for legalising the acts, they will eventually
shift policy in that direction through back room bargaining
and vote swapping. The only hope is that they never manage
to elect anyone. Although if they do that alone says
the host country that they may be beyond hope anyway.
\_ Can the same argument be applied to communism? A communist
party is illegal in the US.
\_ *sigh* http://www.cpusa.org
\_ Thanks! (Not that I like communism.) -- PP
\_ http://www.cpusa.org/article/static/511/#question18
"Aren't socialist countries anti-religion?"
"In China, ..., there are many religious
institutions, many millions who worship freely, many
churches that are growing. ..."
That says it all. (But it's off topic.)
\_ Really? I thought there was one. Well, if that's true,
it probably happened during the 50's, the same time we
put God into the pledge, and did any number of other
stupid reactionary things.
\_ Uhh, no it isn't.
\_ IIRC, the United States is now one of the few countries
that still has a communist party. We might be the only
multi-party country that has one. I vaguely recall
something about all of them renaming themselves the
socialist party after the USSR fell but I'm too lazy
and apathetic to look it up.
\_ Japan still has a communist party. One of the Diet
reps from Kochi (the prefecture where I lived) was
Communist. --erikred
\_ PCI in Italy? Partito Comunista Italiano. Still
pretty big there.
\_ Ok so 3 of em. I'm ok with that.
\_ Plus all the actual, well, communist countries,
plus France, England, Germany, India, and
pretty much every other countri I can
pretty much every other country I can
think of. -John
\_ The communist countries aren't multi-party.
I don't count Cuba, China, etc, which claim
to be communist but are just dictatorships. |

2/7 Is IKEA from Sweden or Switzerland? I always get those two confused.
\_ Here is an easy way to remember this. Switzerland has a lot of
other people's money but don't really do much with them. For example
they kept a lot of Jew and Nazi money but didn't do jack with
them. The only cool things from Switzerland that are easily
recognizable in the US are the Swiss Army Knife and
the overpriced Swiss Watch. At any rate, both countries are
full of nationalistic white Scandi-Eurotrashes who think they're
better than everyone else and in that respect John is right.
\_ There is also Swiss chocolate in the US.
\_ Don't forget the better roads. We like dogs too. And you're
correct, we are better than everyone else. -John
\_ In what ways are you better?
\_ Much more skilful at stealing the gold. -John
\_ Mr. IKEA IS A NAZI.
He attended some pro-Nazi meetings and apologized only after
his past was discovered. Reality-- he's not sorry, he's just
saying that to placate IKEA stockholders.

they were all weird blonde people with funny American accents.
Now I'm older, I still think they're weird blonde people

\_ Hi-tech namecalling
\_ theoretically someone could get into trouble with something like:
"Hey, your employee John Q. Loser posted about your company with
the name 'hitler', see this link! He will probably say something
like yes he wrote that, but he never signed as 'hitler' and meant
to post anonymously."
\_ I've been playing around with it. It doesn't seem any better
than random chance, choosing among all non-idle people. The names
are cute, but I think hitler and other names should go.
\_ It doesn't seem to change names. This means the system has the
same problems as before, it just adds a level of indirection.
It won't take long for people to figure out who each other are.
(For example, now you know my pseudonym) I think a good
improvement would be to have the names change for every thread.

12/2 Wow. That's pretty sad:
http://www.google.com/explanation.html
\_ uh, what's sad about it? -tom
\_ Oh, just that the number of offensive results returned by "Jew"
is so high that they felt compelled to write that. Sad.
I thought.
\_ Why is this surprising? Look at motd.
\_ Google: Cataloging the world's filth.
\_ At least they're consistent about the "let's make all
information easily available" no matter if it's libelous,
owned by someone else or just the sort of thing no one
should need to see, as long as they make a buck on it.
\_ How is google making a buck on this?
\_ (a) "libelous" differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction,
and I thought it was a given that national restrictions
on who links to what online are silly, (b) "make a buck
on it" is not a bad thing, but for some reason it has a
negative connotation--not making a buck == no google, (c)
who judges what "no one should need to see"? -John
\_ a) in the dictionary sense, b) making a buck spreading
lies is, c) germany has banned nazi stuff, are you
opposed to that? unrelated is google's answer to a
faq on image and link hosting for people who want an
image pulled down: they duck the issue of removing it
from their index and punt it to the user to go ask
the webmaster to remove it when in many cases the
webmaster has posted something maliciously or just
doesn't care what their users post and isn't subject
to the reach of the law. double talk is just sleazy.
as far as google existing or not, i dont really care.
there were search engines before, there will be search
engines after. they're just one search engine of many
that all return roughly the same quality of results.
\_ I am ambivalent about Germany's nazi ban, as it's a
bit of a special case. Nonetheless, Germany has no
control over content hosted abroad, nor do they make
any pretense at doing so (unlike France/Yahoo, which
was a pretty sad precedent.) I don't think it's dis-
ingenuous for a search engine to refer objections
about content to the originating site--after all,
nobody is forcing anyone to look at something they
don't like--you may find it lame but I see it as
pretty central to the availability of information,
reprehensible though it may be, on the Internet. In
their position I wouldn't even have posted the
disclaimer, although I can understand why they saw
it as a prudent thing to do. -John
\_ Which means someone has zero recourse if google
is unwilling to provide a means to people to have
potentially damaging and false information
removed. Below someone claims they remove links
to kiddie porn. I'm firmly in favor of that but
why draw the line there? I don't see why Germany's
ban on Nazi stuff is ok as a 'special case'. As if
by out lawing references to the Nazis they will
magically make the past go away. France/Yahoo is
pretty much the same. Anyway, once you draw a line
there's no difference where yo draw it. You don't
get to claim you're a big pro-information freedom
person when you've made an arbitrary decision that
there really is some information that shouldn't be
seen. (sarcasm for the stupid): Why don't the
parents just complain to the kiddie porn web
masters and ask that their kids be removed from
the net?
\_ Yes, you do have zero recourse. I'm unwilling
to risk someone seeing my (harmless) views as
somehow politically, religiously or culturally
offensive and have a means to censor them. I
think we're fundamentally in agreement here--I

9/20 Hypothetical question. Let's say it is year 1930 again and you are
Adolf Hitler II. You have a dream to dominate Europe and more in
a mere decade or two. What would you have done that's the same
as before, and more importantly what would you have done
differently, be it politically, militarily, economically? Please
don't delete this thread, I'm curious what motd historian buffs
have to say.
\- "I have a dream ..."
\_ Stop interrupting you Bengali shit
\_ not try to invade Russia until the rest of Europe was polished off
\_ How about "don't invade Russia, period." Winter is so cold
there that motoroil actually freezes, rendering your highly
mechaniszed units useless.
\_ Yeah... Hitler underestimated the size of the Soviet army. I
wonder if he thought he would avoid war with the US. Or maybe
he hoped to crush the Soviets really quickly. Anyway once that
failed and US was involved it was over. In retrospect they needed
to knock out Britain. But they screwed up the air war there.
Knowing what we know now, different tactics might have allowed
them to take out either Britain or USSR quickly. In the first
place I think Hitler hoped to get Poland without the British
war, which would have let him focus only on the east. And when
Barbarossa began the "fortress Europe" had been established,
USA wasn't at war, so Hitler probably felt safe with that.
\_ Don't trust the Italians, they're utterly incompetent.
\_ Forget about heavy water. Listen to the jews and go uranium
instead. And don't piss them off by putting them in concentration
camps until after they've invented the A-bomb.
\_ HAHA my thoughts exactly. Rule #1 in business-- never treat
people badly until they give you want you want. The Jews are
smart. Treat them well at first, concentration camp later.
\_ Are you sure this would have worked for Hitler? Part of
Hitler's route to power was by scapegoating the Jews.
Face it, persecuting and blaming a minority for all your
problems is an effective way of getting power. --PM
\_ I see. Was there another minority he could use as
scapegoat at that moment?
\_ He could have used the Poles. I mean, there are so
many Polish jokes to tell and they don't seem to mind
\_ He wouldn't have needed the whole anti-semitic
shpiel. The krauts were falling apart at the
seams politically and screaming for stability and
strong leadership, and still bitter enough about
being stomped on militarily during and diplo-
matically after WWI that the nazis were a shoo-in
to run the joint. Remember that WWII only came
along after a pretty spectacular, virtually un-
opposed run of aggression in the name of anti-
communism and reuniting all Germans into one big
happy fatherland. -John
happy vatherland. -John
\_ Apparently you flunked history. The Nazis
were not "shoo-ins" to run the joint. They
got into power with less than the majority
vote. It was because Hindenburg was weak
and the opposition was fragmented that lead
to Hitler's appointment to be Chancellor in
an attempt to create a coalition government.
\_ That, and also the effects of the Great
Depression which affected Germany as much,
if not worse, than the US.
\_ Rape and plunder doesn't work well for long periods. Treat the
stinking Frenchmen and poor Poles nicer. Give them a sense that
they belong to something of great importance instead of just
beating the shit out of them. After they assimilated and
contributed, THEN beat the shit out of them. Oh and don't
screw around with French women, most of them have STDs and
will incapacitate your Waffen-SS Wehrmacht.
\_ Or join it... -John
\_ ULTRA is compromised.
\_ More to the point, if everything goes according to your
expectations, it means they're feeding you bad intel; it does
NOT mean you're a genius.
\_ You misunderstand ULTRA. If the other side knows every major
move you're making, it is harder for you to win.
\_ On the contrary, I understand ULTRA very well. However,
in order to keep Hitler from knowing that ULTRA was
compromised, the Allies waged a campaign of misinformation
that relied primarily on Hitler wanting to believe that
his predictions of enemy movement would be accurate. Cf.
Bodyguard of Lies by Anthony Cave Brown.
\_ So communicating factually through a compromised system
would be okay even if Hitler knew it was compromised
and his predictions came true. That's even more occult
belief than I want to deal with.
\_ Sigh. Call me old-fashioned, but I'm trying to keep
this within the realm of the knowledge that he might
have gained under the circumstances. If he realized
that things were running too impossibly close to his
expectations, he might have realized that he was
being played. He might also have been able to seed
ULTRA with false intel while speeding up R&D of
Enigma. Thank god he was a paranoid, megalomaniacal
pillock.
\_ Donate to Charles Lindberg's Presidential campaign and convince
the Japs to hold off on Pearl Harbor until all the Carriers were
back in port. I would have won the battle of Britain prior to
opening the Russian front and then I would have got the Japs to
help me take out Russia. Then I would send the Kreigsmarine to
take out the US from the east coast while the Japs took out the
US from the west coast. |

9/1 Where did Germany get oil from during WWII?
\_ A lot came from northern shore, Scandanavia. They also produced
oil from coal and gas through fancy (but costly) methods.

\_ Oil was Germany's weak spot in the war. Hitler's obsession with
autarky is a partial explanation for the insane expansionism
of Nazi Germany. The change of thrust towards the Caucasus
after the takeover of Moscow failed was motivated by oil.

7/13 Dear German John, I'm learning German and it's a lot of fun. Grammar
is very similar, and some words are similar. However, I have problem
pronouncing certain words, like (how you spell in English)
"IcHHHH SpriHHHHHen NicHHHHt English" probably cuz I don't normally
use the throat often. In fact, I find that after only 20 mins of
practicing, my throat gets really dry. Is this normal, or am I
using my throat the wrong way? Danke Deutche John.
\_ Drink a lot of hefeweizen and smoke some stinky eurofag cigarettes,

\_ Are you serious this works? I tried it but my throat
sound is still weak. I want to sound very throaty like those
speakers on my language CD
\_ You don't have to sound throaty. My german relatives never
had that deep throat thing. It varies by region too. They were
from Bavaria.
\_ So is it better to use lots of throat or little throat? Just
as I don't want to learn Ebonics English, I also don't want
to learn German that sounds low-class. I do like the idea of
using a lot of throat. It sounds aggressive, persuasive,
somewhat charming, and really gets your attention. In
another word I really like the way Hitler talks even though
I disagree with his methods.
\_ He was Austrian. They've got more of a jolly rolling vowel
thing than an "ACHTUNG, ZE PANZERS ARE ROLLING" accent. Same

2/20 My professor said during WW2, about 1/4 of the congressmen/senate/
politicians were publicly supportive of the Nazi regime. Isn't that
kind of high? Can it actually be true, or he's just exaggerating?
\_ Your prof is full of shit. Do your own research on the German-
American Bund and Charles Lindbergh's activities in the late 1930s.
Also look at the isolationist movement and its association with
the Willkie 1940 campaign. There was a fair amount of sympathy
for nazi Germany in the late 1930s; there was far more drive
towards keeping the US out of European conflicts (FDR had to ram
Lend-Lease through Congress against some stiff opposition.) Your
prof is making the very common revisionist mistake of taking three
different but related philosophies (isolationism, the sympathetic
view of the krats, and outright nazi-hugging) and lumping them
view of the krauts, and outright nazi-hugging) and lumping them
into the same brown pot. -John
\_ During the 1930s to the early 40s most people in the country were
for segregation and there were a couple million KKK members. Also,
Charles Lindbergh was publicly for the Nazi regime. So a lot of
people thought that the Nazi regime was doing the right thing.
Charles Lindbergh was publicly for the Nazi regime. So a lot of

\_ It goes beyond the racial and anti-semitism. Hitler was seen
as creating prosperity and order to a Europe many Americans
felt was going to heck in a handbasket. When Germans started
invading, Americans felt it was none of their business and
if it was, Hitler was just straightening out the internal
infighting and bickering of those countries stuck in the
remnants of the Depression.
\_ In the 30's, quite believable. Successively less likely after
Poland, Benelux, France, and the Battle of Britain. Stretches
credulity after Pearl Harbor. Are you sure he said during and
not before?
\_ Hint: WW2 started well before Pearl Harbor....
\_ Fair enough. Did the professor say during or at the
start of? During implies through the entire war.

During \Dur"ing\, prep. [Orig., p. pr. of dure.]
In the time of; as long as the action or existence of; as,

\_ Probably through most of the American part of the war
too. Germany wasn't seen as a pariah state. There was
a lot of appeal to the fascist state to Americans.
\_ This is a pretty provocative claim. Reference please.
\_ In the beginning it was more about anti-communism and the Nazis
reasserting Germany as a top power after being in the shits for
so long after WW1.
\_ Madison Square garden was packed with pro-Nazi rallies. Of
course, most leftists in America were fervent supporters
of Uncle Joe, who was equal to if not worse than the Nazis.
As for anti-communist, you have to remember the Nazi was
the Socialist party in Germany. There are no pronounced
differences between the political tenets of the Nazis
and the Communists, except for a violent overthrough of
the ruling class.
\_ You are misinformed. National socialism advocates state
direction of economic resources, not eradication of private
ownership. Also, militarism and a regimentation of society by
the state is seen as an ultimate goal. Communism, on the other
hand, does not specifically advocate discrimination based on
ethnicity, or the militaristic expansion of the state (rather,
that of the ideology.) The totalitarian state is seen as a
necessary interlude on the way to a utopian "dictatorship of the
proletariat." Maybe you are confusing stalinism with the
nominal communist ideal? As for "rallyes", maybe you are
referring to a February 1939 rally by the German-American Bund
(who were functionally nazis) and associated organizations (such
as the Christian Front.) Read up on HUAC investigations of
Fritz Kuhn and the Bund. -John
\_ Maybe should reread what you wrote, because it is self
contradictory in parts, and flies in the face of history.
I was speaking to the Nazis and Soviets, who politically
were not that different, EXCEPT, as you say, for a violent
overthrow of the ruling class. The notion that there were no
pogroms in Russia is silly.
LOL "confusing stalinism for the communist ideal",
ok comrade!. Maybe on a piece of paper they are
different constructs but we live in the real world.
\_ "no pronounced differences except for a violent overthrow
of the ruling classes" is your wording. You did not say
"Soviets", you said "communism". As for pogroms, (a) do
do point out where I said there were none, (b) these took
place mainly in Czarist times, (c) ethnic discrimination
is not a part of communist doctrine. And why are you
making me out to be an apologist for either ideology? And
what does "LOL" mean? Is this a political science term?
They didn't teach me that at Cal, sorry. Try again,

sentence, so infer what you will. Look, I'm not
interested in debating the finer points of
dialectical materialism with experts such as
yourself. However, what you are doing, perhaps
unwittingly, is trying to draw a distinction
between the Soviets and Nazis in order to
redeem Communism. The mantra is Communism

something else. You ignore historical

communist phase yet. I took that into account.
\_ You are putting your own words in John's mouth.
(He is no less a fervent anticommie than you are.)
Unless you just choose to define everyone and
every idealogy you dislike as communists, there is no
reason to identify Nazism and communism. Communism
ideal looks to the "next" step after capitalism and
struggles for an "enlightened" society without class
and property gradient. (I am not suggesting that is
desirable). Nazism ideal looks "back" to the age of
noble (= white) savages roaming Nordic forests and
struggles for a planet ruled by pure "Aryans" in
harmony with maiden nature. (On this I disagree with
John.) In practice, the implementation of both
\_ Huh? Why? Isn't that what I said? And thank
you for your assertion, I ought to hang on to the
claim that I am somehow trying to "redeem"
communism. I suppose some people might
equate trying to know facts about a philosophy
with justifying it; it's still funny :-) -John

society by the state is seen as an ultimate
goal" (of nazi.) I don't know if that was the
ultimate of Hitler, but it certainly was not
the ultimate nazi ideal.
create regimes that are quite similar and kill lots
of people, but in that they are far from alone.
\_ What you are doing, perhaps unwittingly, is drawing
a destinction between the pro-fascist American Right
and Nazism. By confusing the difference between
Communism and Nazism, you throw FUD into the very
real concerns some in America have about the
growing populist, militarist and violent Right
Wing movement in America. How many shopkeeper
windows have to be smashed before we call it the

1/30 When Germany fell and the US/European/Russia took over, how long
did they occupy Germany? How long did loyal Nazi youngs and
insurgents attack the Americans and Russians? How long were
E/W Germany occupied before each had setup their own
governments? I'm curious because perhaps we could draw some
parallels and make better guesses as to how much longer the
insurgents will continue before they gave up, and how much
longer our troops will be in Iraq.
\_ Very good questions. I read about the situation in France in 1945,
and it was pretty bad. There was a frenzy of revenge killings of
'collaborators.' No courts, or anything. It was allowed to
continue for a while too, because it was felt that the people
needed to 'vent.' So many unsavory things happened in WWII.
Maybe time reduces the perceived magnitude of things -- all the
crap back then was much much bigger than anything today,
Iraq included. -- ilyas
\_ tell us about the Russian Jews!
\_ Not many insurgents in Germany--they just kind of fell apart, and
Their sense of order (unlike some places, they're a reasonably
civilized country aside from the occasional 6-million-worth slipup)
kept them in line. Plus they were probably right sick of getting
blown up by 1000-bomber fleets and hordes of very angry Russians.
There were some SS plans for and attempts at guerilla gangs (look
up "werewolves") but all in all nothing came of it. Occupation
lasted until present, and they were allowed to have an army again
around 1954. The Bundesrepublik itself was set up around 1948, so
the whole Iraq election would seem to support that pattern. -John
\_ present=2004. 2004-1945=59 years. You're guessing that we'll be
in Iraq for at least 59 years? Hm. Also a lot of good things
came out from Germany occupation, like getting the best
scientists. What good things will come out from occupying Iraq?
In my opinion I don't think Iraq and Germany have much in common
\_ Try 100+ Billions of barrels of oil, which we cannot live
without.
\_ It would not surprise me. The western Allies stayed in .de
initially to prevent it from arising again, and later because
they were facing off against the Soviets. Scientists, NATO,
trying to build a strong democratic partner and establishing
permanent bases were just facets of an overall strategy of
presence--the US has not been at war with a democratic nation
during this century (barring some questionable interference
in other countries' domestic politics) so it makes sense to
(a) try to build democracies, and (b) stay there to make sure
they remain democratic--your ideal result will be an ally
which doesn't attack you. Now take a look at a world map and,
forgetting for a moment about whether it's right or wrong,
try to convince me in light of current strategic alignments
that it doesn't make sense for the US to hang around Iraq for
some time. -John
\_ Germany was broken by 1945, not like Iraq, where the army just
melted away to fight as insurgents. Also, Germany did not have
1 billion muslim sympathizers supporting them. Also the Germans
under the Red Army's occupation were just scared to death, with
the Red Army's reputation for brutality and mass rape, while
Germans under Allied occupation were just glad they weren't under
the Russians, so why make trouble.
\_ The most important difference: Iraqis didn't kill millions of
Americans. Heck, they didn't even start the war.
\_ Uh, overall US casualties in WWII (both theaters) were around
400k dead. -John
\_ Germans weren't relgious extremists either.

assertion down. -tom

Why should you view McNamara's interview? He was
Secretary of Defense during the Vietnam War. If you
don't want to hear this viewpoint, it's certainly
your right to block out this essential primary source.
\_ Your history is completely wrong. Ho
Chi Minh attacked the South, not the other way
around. Vietnam was a defensive war honoring
SEATO treaties.
\_ The reason for a war, while important, does not
excuse bad conduct. You could argue either side,
from "we continued a French colonialist spat" to
"we were safeguarding an independent country." The
problem is that there was never a clear mandate,
the RVN was a corrupt and doomed system (for
whatever reason), US leadership treated the war
as sort of a playground for new ideas, and many
US troops acted wrongly. In a situation like that
of the US in Vietnam, having the clear moral high
ground is tremendously important, no matter what
you do. We lost it, so even if the war was fought
on good reasons (as I think) both strategically and
philosophically, we fucked it up royally. -John

recognized N.Vietnam government for a split
second, then reversed its decision once USA found
N.Vietnamese government's Communist nature.

Minh, so he attacked the South.

It was Himmler who architected everything. We're barking at the wrong
tree.

personally order such a thing (which he did) he would still be
responsible for it. Trollboy, don't try to say Hitler didn't know

treated in the ghettoes.
\_ thank you for using "architect" as a verb, so everyone can tell
you're a moron
\- What exactly is wrong with verbing this noun? In some cases
poor grammar leads to confusion over intended meaning.
In this case, I dont think "designed" is any less vague.
Actually distinguishing between someone responsible for
philososphy vs implementation is useful, but that is a different
criticism than rote repeition of "dont use architect as a verb".
In the SW industry, I think "to architect" is just as specific
as "software deisgn" ... and possibly can come do be distin-
guished from a "software engineer". In the building architecture
business perhaps there is a productive distinction between
someone responsible for the aesthetic design and the actual
building of the building. Do object to using "deliverable" as
a noun, when it should be an adjective? How about "accessorize"?
That is another example of something that has a specific meaning
in the context of say women and clothing rather than generic "to
make an accessory of". If you cant explain the reason for an
objection such as this, you're as much a "defender if the faith"
as Henry VIII was. Are you the foolish Canute or the wise one?

\_ I can load up propaganda tapes from Stalin, Hitler, Musselini,

\_ That you would even think to compare Michael Moore to Hitler and
Stalin says a lot.
\_ It's funny how when people like Franken or Moore create
satirical books or movies about the right-wing propoganda
machine, they themselves are called propagandists.
\_ Two wrongs don't make a right. Didn't your father teach
you anything?
\_ How is satire a wrong? Of course, in Al Franken's
attempt to be humorous, he actually makes factual
references. But I guess many people these days
interpret factual and funny as propoganda.
\_ I'm really tired of Moore being called a propagandist. He's
a fucking filmmaker. He tells his story. He's not selling
any bill of goods but his own. If you don't buy it, don't buy
it. He's a citizen who sees some things that he thinks is wrong
and points them out. He urges others to take part in their own
democracy. To me, that's patriotism, not propoganda.
\_ He sells a story for the purpose of making money while at
the same time spreading lies which is actually worse than
the Axis powers. They weren't making money off their lies.
\_ Yes, Michael Moore is so unethical for making money off
his work. He should aspire to the moral standard of Stalin
and only use his work to opress people.
\_ No. It's the same. He takes advantage of the
uneducated masses who still think everything on the
screen presented as documentary is truth. He's
cynical and has a dark soul. And you bought into his
lies and even worse, defend them.
\_ Oh, you mean the same people who think everything
the president says is true? Cynical? Dark soul?
I'm sure glad nobody like that is in our government.
\_ No, I mean the same people who think everything
the President says is a lie because MM told them
so, even when it isn't so.

you're right, he really is a dark soul.
\_ Yeah, but anti-Stalin/Hitler/Mussolini tapes ring of truth,
just like anti-Bush footage. Clinton footage -- well, everyone
knows Monica gave him head and he's a slickster. Kerry, well,
he hasn't gotten his chance yet.
\_ I wasn't saying MM was similar to anti-Stalin, etc tapes. I
I was saying he uses the same rhetorical tactics as those
people and you're all eating it up because you're being told
a few things that are true or kind of true so it has a ring
of truth and then he slips in the lies which you swallow
whole.
\_ can you tell us what the lies you speak of are? oh, wait,
you don't want to see the propaganda, so you can't tell us.
\_ Even Christopher Hitchens, who hates Ronald Reagen, wrote an
an article called "The Lies of Michael Moore."

\_ Ooh, now _there's_ some glowing credentials. Hitchens is a

S.L.A. Marshall from 1960. A vivid account of D-Day. Also
interesting to note that many of the German forces at Normandy

\_ ok, i have a stupid question for you military history buffs. why
was use of a shield abandonned in the gun era? Couldn't the groups
of men coming off the boats have used shields to make a kind of
"tortoise shell" the way roman soldiers used to do? obviously it
woudln't be totally effective, and would hamper returning fire,
but it seems that in that particular situation it would have made
a big difference.
\_ Uh, it's called a tank. You know, the weak ass Sherman tanks.
\_ More importantly, there were supposed to be tanks right up
there in the front, and the soldiers were told to get behind
them. But at Omaha, the tanks pretty much all sank. There's
some show on the history channel about scuba diving down to
figure out why the tanks didn't make it, but I didn't catch
the conclusions.
\_ woah! the tanks are still there?
\_ I think that the gist of it was that the tanks were
outfitted with a canvass skirt thing to turn them into
makeshift boats, but because it was not tested in rough
seas, the design was flawed and when they tried using them
for real they all got swamped, the motors stalled, and they
sank.
\_ Here's where the might of the USA lies. We can
afford such costly mistakes and roll on without
losing a beat.
\_ Heh. The Soviet Union made much bigger mistakes
during WWII than some tanks sinking, but they
"rolled on without losing a beat" for quite some
time afterward due mostly to sheer numbers.
\_ Bullets are *much* faster than spears and arrows. For a shield
of metal to stop a bullet, it either must be very thick or
very sloped to deflect the bullet. A highly sloped shield would
have to be very large to cover a man, and so would be unwieldly
to carry. A thick shield would be far too heavy if it was of any
decent size.

\_ The whole "if the two SS panzer divisions had been closer" fact
is why D-Day was an amazing military victory that we still
celebrate, unlike say, the Palermo crossings into Italy, which
were a turkey shoot. The 82nd and 101st's main job was to
delay by a day or two the arrival of the Panzers on the beach
front. They succeeded, but at casualty rates approaching 50%.
Also, a massive disinformation campaign was mounted to
convince the Germans we were going to land a Pas De Calais,
which they bit on. So it was a pretty amazing victory all
the way around.
\_ Double agents misinformed Germans. The misinformation campaign
by the allies worked. Some general didn't want to wake up
Hitler either. The german panzer reserves were only to be
released by Hitler. |

6/4 Dear motd, after watching the History Channel, D-Day week specials
I've developed a fetish/dream where I'm dressed up like a US
soldier and after liberating the German people I start to have
lots of sex with gorgeous young German women and I yell out
"take that you Nazi pussy!". Should I get help?
\_ Yes, you are delusional. There are no gorgeous German women.
\_ s/German/French/g
\_ Actually that's pretty much what happened. After VE day, the
American soldiers were tromping all over Europe fucking, stealing,
and black marketing their way through post war Europe. It was a
good time to be an American soldier. There's plenty of material
both written and on the web what post war Europe was like. It
wasn't pretty.
\_ Oh you mean compared to the legions of panzers knocking down
your shed, your village being herded into the church and
burned because little Billy took a potshot at Hans the Friendly
Nazi, being denounced and sent to Auschwitz because after 50
years your Polack neighbors decide they don't much like Jews
after all, or being nailed to a barn door by a gang of Soviet
thugs because your last name is Schmidt? To the victors belong
the spoiled young frauleins. -John
\_ Are you trying to make some sort of Nazi/Hussein comparison?
Just because Hussein killed more of his own people every 6
weeks than have died since day 1 of GW2 and the average
citizen has more food, electricity and cleaner water than
ever before does not excuse forcing a few guys to pile up in
a naked pyramid last November 8th or making them wear women's
panties on their head. It is an atrocity of the same level as
9/11. Soros, Citizen-Leader of the Free World, said almost
exactly that the other day. So there you have it. Americans
are like the Soviets and Nazis and the Iraqis are like the
Nazi victims (except for the evil Jew, death to them).
\_ yea, but there is already enough whining by the Jews over
the past 50 years, and we already know the soviets are
thugs and out for revenge for what the Germans did to them.
We need to hear more about American thugs.
\_ Yeah, fuck the Jews. They just turned out to be a bunch
of baby killers who all go into the army to kill old women
in their sleep and shoot completely innocent civilians
just going about their own business and trying to get by
under the yoke of oppression! I think the PLO as a whole
should win the Nobel Peace Prize this year with a close
runner up for Al Qaeda. The only good Jew is a right Jew,
runner up for Al Qaeda. The only good Jew is a dead Jew,
right brother?
\_ "Fuck the Jews, they never vote for us anyway."
-James Baker III
\_ Yeah, who wants the baby killer vote anyway?
\_ These constant "fuck the jews" comments which are
obviously posted by someone who, if not actually
jewish, is at least rabidly pro-Israel in a pathetic
attempt to paint anyone who opposes you as racist are
really some of the most disgusting strawman arguments
I have ever seen.
\_ You almost had it but then it slipped away from you
by the end. I believe that in time you'll get it.
If you were around longer or had your eyes or your
heart open a little more you would see it was just
a bunch of real quotes from real people that have
been posted to the motd over the years. Think about
that for a while. That's the real thing, baby.

6/3 How many Panzers can the M1 Abram take out? How many ME109s can the
F22 raptor take out? Just want to see how much we have advanced in
the past 60 years...
\_ F22 will take out as many as it is possible to take out
with the amount of missiles it can carry, then go back to
its home base unharmed, refuel, rearm, repeat.. For that
matter, an F16 would probably do the same, and any older
generation fighter armed with missiles and radars.
\_ Actually, I've only heard one story of a prop plane
successfully taking out at jet after WWII. Something about
a patrol plane in 'nam where he strapped a missle to his
landing gear, and used it to shoot down a MiG that had been
harrassing him.
\_ M1a3 vs panzers: all of them until it runs out of shells. The
panzer can't penetrate the M1's hull at any reasonable range.
F22 vs ME109: all of them until the F22 runs out of ammo. The
ME109 can't see it, can't catch it, can't target it, and will go
down in flames while the F22 is still miles away.
\_ Furthermore, on the tank front, a lot of people don't
realize that WWII tanks couldn't shoot with any accuracy
while moving, and would have a pretty hard time hitting a
moving target. An M1a3, on the other hand, can hit a rat
from a mile away while going 60mph. So even if the pazers
got close enough, they'd still be toast.
\_ This poster is just right. Recall the two wars in Iraq.
They conclusively demonstrated that the side with the
better weapons, not the side with more, will win in open
warfare. Sadly, our gov't is buying more weapons rather
than investing in next-generation better weapons. Consider
a nation with effective battlefield lasers. Aircraft will
suddenly have to fly below the horizon or they'll be shot
down at the speed of light. Same with missiles. Shells.
Would you rather it be us with the lasers first, or China?
Write your congressperson.
\_ The US Navy is investing heavily in laser platforms for ships.
China has a long way to go to catch up to the US, I would say
20 years would be enough if the US stood still. America
learned the "R&D >>> production" lesson in WWII, when the
Tigers were pulling the "kill all Shermans until out of ammo"
trick on the Americans. The flip side of the coin is the
Russians, who lost 3 tanks for every 2 german tanks, but
were outproducing the Germans 10 to 1. -- ilyas
\_ The U.S. wants anti-cruise-missile tech. Whether it's laser
or not, we don't care, as long as it works. Heck, if we
could zap Osama from a Predator, I'm sure the military
guys would love that too.
\_ Training and professionalism also played a critical role.
T-72s and Mig-29s that Iraq possessed were considered to
be quiet formidable tanks and fighter planes respectively
when operated by well-trained crews (granted, most of Iraqi
weapons were much older than that). I read somewhere that
during the Iran-Iraq war the troops on both sides did no make
an effective use of the technology that they posessed. For
example, the Iraqis didn't use the advanced sights/targeting
on their Soviet-made tanks, reducing their effectiveness to
WWII era. Also, both sides tended to hole up their tanks and
use them as individual artilery pieces.
\_ Why do I feel like the Command & Conquer / Rise of Nations /
Empire Earth forum has suddenly moved here?
\_ Paradox forums >> all. Those guys know their history. -- ilyas

\_ What do you get when you combine the world saving idiocy
of the left with violent tendencies of the right?
\_ the biggest killers of the 20th century were all
leftists.
\_ Hitler is leftist? Uh, yeah.
\_ NAZI = Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei
Nationl Social German Workers Party. His political
platform was socialist. He was considered 'rightist'
by other Communists because he did not believe a
Communist Revolution was necessary to implement
socialism / communism.
\_ Oh BS. You are going to tell us next Robespierre was
a modern progenitor of the Republican Party
because he called himself a Republican.
Did Hitler believe in giving ownership of the
means of production to the workers? No.
Doh! I have just been trolled...

\_ The article addresses the Nazi's political
ideology - factually refute it or don't
waste my time.
\_ The capitalists have starved to death far
more people than the communists, but since
no one person is in charge, the blame is
diffuse. How many have died because there
no profit to be made in keeping them alive?
\_ this is your reply - capitalism is

baby. Move to North Korea twit.
\_ I notice you didn't answer the question.
\_ Because it is a stupid question.
Where/ who are you talking about?
\_ I answered this already, but you
wrote over my changes. See below
for most of it.
\_ What is this supposed to mean? This seems to be all
accusation and no substance. Are you claiming African
famine is all the fault of capitalists, or what?
\_ Since the European colonialists set the conditions
in place for the famines and then did nothing once
they occurred, even though they clearly had the
power to stop them, yes, I believe they are the
ones primarily responsible. If you are going to
(quite rightly, I feel) pin 1920s famine on Stalins
collectivization of the Kulaks, you should lay blame
on the head of the Western European colonialists
where it properly lies as well.
\_ When you get into real extremes, the difference between
"right" and "left" is pretty much academic. Tyranny is
tyranny.
\- it is commonly claimed that what is important is structure
[in this case extremeism] and ideology more or less dis-
solves. in other words fascism and communism end up looking
pretty similar as totalitaian systems. while this is partly
true, it's not true across the board. see e.g. "anatomy

5/31 Memorial Day question. Rather than launching D-Day, invading
Der Vatherland, and getting thousands and thousands of our GIs killed
(esp. on Omaha Beach), why didn't we just strike a deal with the
Axis in order to save more lives? What exactly did we gain from
unconditional surrender? German gold? (not really) German art? (no)
German women? (maybe) German technology? (yes)
\_ Part of it was prior commitments to the Russians. The Allies were
trying to prevent the Eastern Front from collapsing.
Of course you may argue that by 1944, it wasn't going to collapse
regardless of what the Allies did. Part of it was probably
realpolitik considerations -- the cost of invading Europe was
deemed acceptable given the influence the US would achieve in the
post-war world on the continent. The US didn't want to leave the
entire Europe to the Russians. You may note the US never invaded
Japan -- the costs outweighed the benefits there. -- ilyas
\_ Ummm... we were sure PLANNING to invade Japan, the only
reason we didn't was because to A-bomb worked so well.
\_ Of course we did. I claim the US would not have invaded even
without the A-bomb. The US would have negotiated a surrender.
The invasion was simply not worth it. Invasion planning is
something the military guys do, because it is their job.
The call of whether to invade or not rests with the politicians
and if their heads are on straight, they make the right call.
-- ilyas
\_ The US was not just planning but was going through all
the motions required to do so. I know guys who were
in holding areas waiting for the final word to load up
in boats and head to the main land. They wrote their
letters home and expected to die until it was called
off after the bomb was dropped.
\_ DAMN STRAIGHT!! Actually, I don't think it's clear
either way. It bothers me that 99% of people are
certain that the A-BOMB was neccesary to end the war.
I think it's an open question with valid points on
either side.
\_ There are different ways to end a war. Some are
better than others. A simple cessation of fighting
without a change in leadership like post-WWI Germany
only sets everyone up for round 2.
\_ It all depends on whether Japan/Germany would be
willing to surrender. Threat of invasion made for a
stronger case. So did the defeat of Germany.
\_ I respectfully disagree. As I recall, the Japanese
had already offered to surrender, on the condition
that the Emperor be allowed to keep his position.
However, removing the emperor and forcing him to admit
his not-godhood is basically what permenantly
destroyed the Japanese empire. It's kinda like what
would happen to the middle east if we could kick
Mohammed's butt and force him to admit that he isn't
really a prophet. There just wouldn't be much reason
to fight anymore.
\_ How long has this been up here? This is wrong.
There is *still* a Japanese emporer. The Japanese
had *not* offered to surrender. After the bombs were
dropped, they surrendered WITH the above condition
(that the emprorer be allowed to keep his position).
Jeesh, and the guy below thinks that everyone here
should know why we launched D-Day. -phuqm
\_ You should. It was only one of the most important
military and possibly non-military history events
in the last 100+ years. It only formed the world
as we know it today. Maybe you think who Britney
is dating is more important?
\_ Wow phuqm. I'm really impressed you signed
your name to a statement showing such amazing
ignorance. Offer of Japanese surrender
rejected: http://csua.org/u/7j9 Note that it
mentions that the Emporer would be subject to
the American military commander. The Emperor
surrendered UNCONDITIONALY after the A-bomb.
In other words, he gave up the throne.
MacArthur allowed him to continue as emperor,
but the magic was gone. Now he was just some
dude. So, in conclusion, there is still
an emperor, but he is no longer a demi-god.
-jrleek
\_ Is this a lame troll or are you just a product of the American
edjumuhkayshunal system?
\_ Because after spending years villifying the Germans and Japanese
in an attempt to cajole the United States public into believing
that WWII was a just cause, FDR became a victim of his own
propaganda. There was just no way politically that the United
States would have accepted less than victory over "the Hun"
especially when it seemed so close at hand.

5/6 If Congress approves the $25 Billion request from Bush for the Iraq
War, total costs so far will equal $174 billion. Contrast this with
WWI which cost $199 billion in 2002 dollars. How much was WWII? I'm
wondering how much it will take to equal all spending on all our
wars in the 20th century, minus the Cold War of course.
\_ Maybe stuff costs a lot more now than during the 40's even when you
adjust for inflation? I don't know, just a thought.
Also, we are paying to rebuild a country. I think the WWI cost
is just to cost of defeating the German army. Also, our military
used less equipment back then than it does now.
\_ Definitely, but it doesn't subtract from the enormity of the cost.
The invasion and occupation has cost the same as the cost to
police all the streets, administer all the laws, in every
jurisdiction of the entire United States for a year.
\_ In WW1, America didn't take the brunt of fighting. The French
took the most. Started 1914, America joins 1917 after a slow
buildup of diplomatic incidents. Armistice 1918. Versailles
treaty sets up WW2. USA didn't occupy Germany.

No, no, no, and no! What the heck were Hitler/Hiro thinking?
\_ They both believed in dominating "inferior" peoples by force
of arms for "living space", and exterminating/experimenting on
said "inferior" people. Natural allies.
\_ Sorta like the Europeans and the Native Americans?
\_ Dang straight. Only problem with the theory was

that implied that westerners came here only to tax the
locals, and I believe they weren't joking or sarcastic.
\_ "they" = the axis? The axis was kicking the allies ass
and only lost because Hitler micro managed his superbly
top notch generals.
\_ The allies' breaking of communication codes was also
a big factor against both Japan and Germany. And
the battle of britain. But if it had gone on much
longer I guess Germany would've gotten nuked. Actually
Hitler personally helped screw the BoB too by switching
to pointlessly bombing London.
\_ the "Axis" was Germany and Italy; Japan joined later.
\_ The heat is unbearable, and you are not helping.
\_ What do you mean, I'm not helping?
\_ The axis are the bad guys, like the "axis of evil". The good guys
are the allies. Mysterious evil strangers in a foreign land
who would compromise the American Dream? Axis.
\_ Germany and Italy made up the name themselves.
\_ If we want to be anal, the URL below says Hungary came up
with "axis" first for Italy, Germany, and Hungary, but no
one used it. Mussolini popularized it, and he used axis to
mean Germany and Italy. Then in 1940 there was a
"Three-Power Pact" which included Japan; all three
countries would cooperate "to establish and maintain a new
order of things". Probably Roosevelt at some point decided
to start throwing around "Axis powers".
\_ Wrongo, boyo.

\_ Useless dodging. We're all too smart for that.

Asia. It's the same kind of alliance as France-Russia, where they
have a mutual enemy between them but no possible conflicts.

3/11 Did Germany ever have a chance of winning WWII?
\_ Not after both the USA and USSR were involved, and after the USSR
brought the German offensive to a stop. But before that happened,
there were many possibilities that could have led to either victory
or a peace arrangement by Germany. Without the USSR front, against
just USA and Britain it seems like ultimately it still would have
come down to Germany losing the air war, unless the Japan war went
differently.
\_ No. While they had superior technology, US had superior production
power and relatively unlimited raw materials. The Yanks were
cranking out their inferior Sherman tanks at a rate of 10-20X
greater than the superior Panzer tanks, and even though 1 Panzer
tank could take out about 3-4 Sherman tanks, it's the overwhelming
number that wins. Same with P47/P51 vs. ME109s, etc. Germany
attempted cheap/fast production towards the end of the war
like the Volksjager but by then most of the German aces were dead
and the Hitler Youths were too young to know how to fight.
\_ same with the Chinese army. They have inferior weapons
but pushed into Korea with their fearless swarm of men.
\_ HA. The main problem with the Chinese army (if you
mean the Nationalists) wasn't equipment but leadership.
Read "Stilwell and the American Experience in China"
by Tuchman if you care.
\_ Stilwell has a very one-sided view of things.
He is a military man, but had no idea of the
political side of things.
\_ Tuchman's political analysis in the book is
convincing. Chiang Kai Shek was fundamentally
weak.
\_ Chiang Kai Shek has a very weak hand to
play.
\_ If Chiang Kai Shek had been a better
politician and advocated some things
like land reform, he probably would
have beaten Mao. He just refused
to compromise.
\_ fat hopes. CKS power base was
in the coastal cities. He had
tenuous control over just a
small part of China, and that
was before the Japanese invaded
and took that away. And never
underestimate the power of the
idea of communism at that point
in history, especially in a
peasant society like China.
Stilwell wants Chiang to fight
the Japanese. That's would be
a dumb move.
\_ Communism is ill suited for a peasant
society whether in practice or in
ideology. Mao practiced and won with
something else.
\_ it didn't matter. by the
time the peasants realize
that, the war was long over.
\_ CKS had a very small army
reasonably equiped (but far
inferior to the Japanese) under
his control. The rest are
ragtag troops pulled off the
street. There are also
some warlords / generals
fighting under his banner, but
the troops under these people
are loyal to these people, not
to CKS. They are often
from the same province, etc.,
and CKS could not ignore
the views and interests of
these warlords / generals.
Outsiders way overestimated
CKS's power.
\_ Germans had very good weapons. Just not enough.
\_ if they didn't attack Russia, maybe Germany would have
consolidated their conquests.
\_ if the Germans delayed enough, they could have had nuclear
weapons
\_ Frankly, My person take is that if Nazi didn't
1. attack russia, and 2. killing Jews, I really think they
got the chance to win. I don't know if you noticed,
a lot of nuclear bomb scientist are jews escaped from Nazi's
insanity.
\_ Yeah, but without their racist ideas about Jews and
Slavs, it wouldn't have been Nazi Germany, it would
have been something more rational. Something more
rational would not have tried to conquer the world
against overwhelming odds.
\_ if they restricted themselves to a part of Europe
(like Poland and France), Hitler probably would
have had a longer career.
\_ Possibly. The most interesting counterfactual here is whether
Stalin would have attacked had Hitler not. Hitler believed Stalin
was going to come get him once his military machine was up and
running. This was one of his main reasons for going in 1941 and
surprising the hell out of the Red Army. Stalin would have probably
gone after Germany if he perceived weakness. A fully rational
policy on the part of Hitler would have taken all of Europe west
of Poland and east of Great Britain, and stopping there, making it
a very tough nut for Stalin to crack. Russians had a hell of a
time with the Finns, and Germans would have been 10 times worse.
On the other hand, the Russians learned a lot from the Winter War.
However, Hitler had other obsessions (autarky, jews, bolsheviks)
which prevented rational policy. Hitler also wasn't very smart.
-- ilyas
\_ I'm glad Hitler wasn't very smart -- he attacked Russia.
But Stalin isn't that great either.
\_ Stalin was regarded as brilliant by everyone who had
much dealing with him:
http://www.plp.org/books/Stalin/node138.html
\_ Stalin was a stupid peasant. He was, however, unusually
ruthless, which explains his long tenure. When the
Germans invaded in 1941 he disappeared for two weeks. The
common theory is that he had a breakdown, and thought it

return and head the war effort (by this time the Germans
had overran most of Ukraine and killed or captured many
millions of Red Army soldiers). This link cites a bunch

\_ So Ilya, would you attribute Stalingrad simply to the
Russian soldiers solid unwillingness to give in?
\_ Stalingrad was the first time Stalin let Zhukov
handle the operation. Stalin's big personal growth
during WWII consisted of realizing he should let the
professionals do their job (something Hitler never
learned). Russian soldiers did many heroic things
during WWII, even considering the monstrous
compulsion imposed on them by the NKVD.
Nevertheless, Stalingrad was an operational, rather
than a tactical success. People keep talking about
the street fighting, but the key to the operation
was the pincer maneuver which surrounded Paulus.
This was not something the Red Army could have pulled
off in 1941. -- ilyas
\_ I wasn't talking about Stalin as a military man.
I was talking about his human rights record.
\_ frankly, I don't know who is more dumb, Hitler's obsession with
bolsheviks, or our obsessioon with communism for the next 40
years after Hitler is defeated.
\_ Well, both Hitler and the US had legitimate concerns about
communism, since it was a bit of a hegemonising swarm object.
However, Hitler went further (and off the deep end) than
good policy dictated. Whether the US policy of containment
was wise, or there was a better idea is still an open
question. -- ilyas

\_ Why so much random censorship on this thread?

2/26 Panzer/Tiger > T34 > Sherman
\_ Thank you for that well-reasoned piece of historical analysis.
\_ I'm encouraging discussion.
\_ Each individual tank was better, but because the Sherman
was mass produced in a way the Panzer was not, it could
be produced in 5X quantities. Was the Panzer better than
5 Sherman's?
\_ you are right. one on one, Panzer > Shermans.
But Shermans were mass-produced and tactics had to change.
Which tank would you rather be in?
\_ None. They were all death traps.
\_ I would prefer to be in a Panther. Good gun,
good mobility, reliable. I hear some are still
in use today in Africa.
\_ The Germans called Shermans "Tommycookers" because they
easily caught fire. There are documented cases of a
Tiger decimating multiple Shermans, without retaliation
(Sherman shells just bounced off). America placed
production over R&D as a priority for their tank
program in the 30s. This unfortunate oversight cost
many American lives early in 1944. It took almost a
year for American tanks to become useful (they were
never very good in WWII). Americans won their battles
with excellent supplies, overwhelming air superiority,
and general Patton, not with tanks. -- ilyas
never very good in WWII). -- ilyas
\_ What was that gianormous German tank that they only built a few of?
\_ Maus. It was far bigger than the King Tiger, but never saw
service. Even King Tigers (or even normal Tigers) were often
used as stationary artillery by the retreating German forces.
Incidentally, while the Panther was a better tank than the T-34,
it had two major problems. One was the much greater complexity,
which made it difficult to repair damaged Panthers (or keep
undamaged ones operational). Another was
the relatively narrow tracks (compared to the wide T-34 tracks)
which made mobility on poor roads in Russia much much worse.
The Panther was also very expensive and lavishly made. By the
time it entered service, Germany's priority should have been
stamping out as many tanks as possible, as cheaply and quickly
as possible, like the Russians were doing.
T-34 was the better tank, per unit of resource.
-- ilyas
\_ King Tiger? They made 485 of them. They were basically
unstoppable until they ran out of fuel.
\_ Why? Longer range?
\_ They had really thick sloped armor and a gun that
could take out any other tank at a range of 2km.
But even point blank, the Sherman could just not
penetrate the King Tiger armor. The best the
allies could hope to do was detrack it.
\_ Maybe you mean The Maus, that they only made two prototypes
of. They were 180 Tons and never saw combat.

\_ Depends. The odds that Germany could have actually taken over
the entire world was rather minimal. They just didn't have
enough men. If you don't have an armed soldier standing on a
piece of land, you don't control it. More likely, the US and
Germany would have ended up in a stalemate where neither could
cross the oceans to do any serious harm until technology had
advanced a great deal. You'd have a German/US Cold War instead
of a USSR/ US one. Hitler would eventually have been
assassinated or dropped dead and someone less psychotic would
take over and the German Empire would fall apart, a la the USSR.

12/23 Regards to Nurenberg Trial. Nurenberg is just an instrument for
the victors to humilate and extract values from the defeated enemy.
This is why none of the Allie forces ever got tried for the atrocity
they commited. This includes looting of Nazi treasury and art
collection (which still sits in the National Archive in Washingon DC),
as well as includes nuclear bombing, fire bombing,
and all the carpet bombing we performed on civilians.
This is also the reason why some of the Nazi units, noticebly the
African Corp and the Nazi Navy, who fought the war with extremely
high degree of professionalism, also got tried and convicted by
the Nurenberg.
This is also the reason why Emporer of Japan, who ultimately
started the Asian front of World War 2, didn't get tried as a
war criminal. Ridiculously, last emperor of China was tried
as a war criminal for being a puppet of Japanese Empire.
Then, there is the story of Unit 731 of Japanese Army, who used
civilians and POWs to test chemical/biological weapon.None of them
were even tried because they made a deal with USA. In exchange for
their freedom, they gave USA the test results of these chemical/
biological weapon experiments using human subjects.
There is nothing perplex about Nurenberg once you accept the fact
that it is nothing more than instruement to enhance US and British
interest. If you try to think in the line of administering justice,
then you will have serious problems.
-- a Chinese who has no sympathy toward Japan,
but still think nuclear bombing is wrong.
\_ To the victor, go the spoils. So fucking what? And as far as
American still thinking of China as a subject state, again, so
fucking what? If it was the other way around, the Chinese wouldn't
be sitting around wondering how they can sell us more Big Macs.
They'd have destroyed our country and our children right through
college would be learning about how the Great Leader Mao saved us
from our Imperalist Oppressors and it only cost us DC, LA, and
Chicago, but hey they were all bastions of evil capitalists anyway.

\_ Heh. Snipers are unprofessional now?
Are you on crack? Should we go back to the civil war
era of gentleman wars where people marched around in
tightly packed formations, and targetting officers

\_ Frankly as an American with both of my grandfather's fighting in
in WWII I don't give a fuck what you think. That said, in the
battle for Okinawa over 250,000 died. Extrapolate those numbers
to Kyushu and then the home island...
Japan had its entire Army intact in China, and the
Soviets were days from entering the war. Had they, Japan and
China would likely still be partitioned like the Koreas.
Furthermore it was impractical to move the millions of needed
troops out of Europe because of the Soviet threat. One could
go on and on...
\_ Partition was unnecessary. It end up being partitioned
as result of USA and USSR splits the spoils of the war,
treating the Chinese as nothing more than their Imperialistic
subjects. This mentality still exist today in the mind of
Americans. |

\_ The term Axis was first used by Hitler in one of his speeches.
\_ 1936 Italian-German mutual assistance pact, "Rome-Berlin axis."
Expanded later to Rome-Berlin-Tokyo axis. Remember that early
on, Hitler feared and respected Mussolini (who for example
forced him to ditch his ambitions on Austria in 1935.) So
this was the first of a series of alliances geared towards
safeguarding the Hun from threats to his flank. -John

11/20 The Germans had the V1/V2 cruise missile and the Japanese had germ and
chemicals. Rather than bombing London with traditional explosives
and incendiaries, why didn't they borrow germ/chemical technologies
on the Brits?
\_ Oh ignorant one of history, Hitler fondly remembers being attacked
by chemicla weapons in WWI as measily Corporal and that's one of
the reasons why he didn't do the same.
\_ At the end of the war, pounded from all sides, the Axis were
anything but monolithic. I am guessing there simply wasn't enough
communication between Germany and Japan by the time Hitler became
desperate enough to seriously consider 'miracle weapons' like
toxins and germs. Furthermore, even if Japan agreed to make
available to Germany the results of its germs/toxins programs, there
would be staggering logistical difficulties in moving the required
materials to Germany. Japan had a hard enough time moving oil
and essential supplies through American bombers and ships.
-- ilyas
\_ they needed to have insurance (Nukes) first so there wouldn't be
any severe retaliation from nukes dropped on Germany.
\_ chemical warfare has never been really effective and germ warfare
is very difficult to do right and there's always the worry that
some bug you release will come back and wipe you out, too. so
even if they could've done it, neither was a good plan.
\_ on battle field, true. against civilian, you would be suprised
how effective it is on reducing population. Japanese at the
had enough anthrex to kill entire world's population, I heard
\_ no. effective dispersal is *very* difficult. it comes down
to this: if you need to get a person into the chemical or germ
zone to have an effect, it is cheaper to just bomb them. if
it is some brutal pathogen that spreads easily then you can
get wiped out by it, too. anthrax is a really shitty mass bio
weapon, btw.
\_ This must be emphasized. Even in WWI, gas attacks were
effective primarily because of weather conditions and that
soldiers had to stay where they were, in low-lying areas,
so they wouldn't get shot. Wind, perciptation, temperature
all affect the effectiveness of chem/bio weapons.
\_ They'd be even more effective in the case of a high tech
force fighting a low tech one, but the western
hight-tech armies have sworn to not use them. Which
is a pity considering that most of their battlese these
days seem to be against vastly inferior tech-wise
opponents. The ineffectiveness of chem weapons in WWI
was more one of stupid generals not taking proper
advantage of them. The first use of Chlorine at Ypres
caused a breach in the French lines that the Germans
didn't bother to exploit. No weapon is effective in
incompetant hands.
\_ are you saying they'd be a good weapon against
civilians today? in WWII in London? it's still
way easier to just bomb someone.
\_ Ah, I'm guessing you're a "destroy-the-village"

3/28 Iraq Teach-In at Oakland City Hall Monday, March 31, 7pm
Details: ~erikred/oak_teachin
\_ "Teach-In". WTF was that ever supposed to mean anyway? Will they
teach me about the Nazi inspired political philosophy behind the
Baathist party? Will they teach me about the 60,000 kurds Hussein
murdered in the 91 uprising? Will they teach me anything at all
about the real history of Iraq?
\_ Nazi? I've seen him mostly described as a Stalinist. If you think
about it, Stalin describes his behavior far better than Hitler.
Besides, the mustache thing is total hero worship.
\_ Nazi. It's been said many times before on the motd. Go look
up the history of the Baathist party and who they modeled
themselves on. Hint: it was 1930's Nazi Germany.
\_ Hint: you are wrong. It was Stalinist.
\_ why don't at least one of you clowns actually provide
a source. several of us are actually anal enough
to go read both your sources.
\_ Stalin! I saw it on CNN!!1! Hussein models himself
after him. Did anyone else see the segment???
\_ Uh, but didn't this thread almost immediately
invalidate itself anyway? cf. Godwin's Law.
\_ No because in this case, it's actually on
topic. If you're actually talking about the
Nazis then its ok to talk about the Nazis, eh?
\_ ok i typed stalin saddam hero into google and got some
pbs frontline interview:
http://csua.org/u/bec
or ok here is your hero Bush saying so himself!
http://csua.org/u/bed
I'm too lazy to find something more...but I don't need
a source, I know the history of Stalin and Hitler and
Saddam's tactics fit Stalin. All 3 of course share some
tendencies. Stalin named places after himself, so did
Saddam, not Hitler. Hitler promoted intense nationalism
militarism and industry, while Saddam and Stalin relied
more on controlling the rabble with an iron fist.
\_ You idiots. Hitler took lessons from Stalin. Stalin
was Hitler's hero! What do you think the Gestapo was
modelled after. It all goes to Stalin.
\_ Not to mention the concentration camps. Though,
Lenin and Trotsky were the true pioneers of that
concept.
\_ Gach, so annoying. It's late right now so I'll dig
up some Baathist party history links for you ignorant
louts tomorrow. It doesn't matter what mustache the
man wears. What utter crap. Christ oh mighty!
\_ Although (me from above again), does it really matter if it
was Nazi or Stalin philosophy at this point? Both were in
need of a good killing.
\_ did he murder that many kurds and shia's? i thought it was shia's
\_ Is one group worth more than the other? They're all Iraqi and
they're all human beings and were all defenseless civilians.
\_ Sorry, pal. I'm just passing this along. Feel free to show
up and ask Jane Brunner.
\_ Ok, no problem. I read the list of speakers/teachers. It's
a bunch of socialists. What are the odds of getting that
'fair & balanced' educational perspective that might actually
teach someone something?
\_ i do this by reading biased articles from opposite sides
and figuring out my own reality is somewhere in between.
\_ Let's not forget that both Hitler and Stalin were Socialist/
Communist. Hitler's party was the National Socialist German
Workers Party. So please, Hitler was not right-wing, he
a hardcore leftist.
\_ Not to mention Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Willie Brown.

9/22 Regarding this Bush compared to Hitler thing-- why? I think it's
perfectly apt-- Hitler did use war to distract the populace from
domestic troubles, and it does seem like a motive worth
considering wrt to the US as well.
\_ Yes, Bush ordered the death of 6 million Jews. Instigated wars
that resulted in even millions more deaths. In case you did not
know this, Nazi Germany had an effecient, but austere, financial
model. Wake up you stupid Neville Chamberlains - read some history
instead of People magazine for once!
\_ He hasn`t...yet. You know that Hitler didnt come with his
"Final Solution" until later in the war? I think _you_ should
read some history before blindly criticising.
\_ A.. go visit the Huntington Library and ask to see the original
Nuremberg files. I assure you they were written way before the
war started.
war started. From your spelling you obviously didn't grow up in
America. They say the reason why England is so far down is because
all the smart ones died in WWII. I guess you proof positive.
\_ Hitler wrote Mein Kampf long before he got power. His Final
Solution wasn't far from his original thinking. Your comparison
of Hitler to Bush is insulting to my race, nearly wiped off the
face of Europe by Hitler, and my relatives, who fought Hitler
and were willing to give their lives to see him defeated.

Ya know, the same folks that caused more death, misery, wars, and suffering than any other single group on the planet in the world's entire history. They said they were sorry \_ the pope was shot and almost assasinated. He visited and forgave his shooter. \_ so? \_ "It's an easy thing to say when it wasn't the Vatican on the receiving end" \_ I think it's a close race with Stalin \_ I'll grant you on body count but the popes still have it on the multi-continent thing and total time/lost generations. \_ About how many did each of them kill? \_ Some say about 20m of his own people for Stalin. The figures for the popes/church are not available or as easily figured. For example, do you count the dozens of millions who died in South American at the hands of the conquistadores with the pope's OK? How many on each side died during the crusades? What effect on public health did the pope's anti-science stance have? One was a butcher of people, the other has murdered entire societies and delayed human advances by several centuries. \_ Stalin never condoned having sex with children \_ It's not the Catholic Church's fault. It was the will of the Great Spider. \_ I'm gonna miss "Family Guy." \_ Me too. However, that was a reference to South Park. \_ If you want to talk total deaths, Hitler beats them all. If you want to talk own people killed, probably Mao is #1. \_ Hitler? Justify. You can't blame Hitler directly for the WW2 military deaths since after all it was Britain and France who actually declared war first. This was after Poland and Stalin also invaded Poland. Since Stalin and Hitler both "caused" WW2 and Stalin killed ~20M in camps vs. Hitler's high ests. of 6M, Stalin takes the cake. \_ He declared war on the Soviet Union and troops acting under his orders killed 20M Russians. Add that to the 6M Jews and 4M or so other Eastern Europeans killed at his command and he takes the cake. for some of that stuff, now it's ok to take the moral high ground.

\_ Of course.
\_ I agree wholeheartedly.

person that influenced, either good or bad, the world the most
during that year. So that title doesn't necessarily honor someone.
At least that's the Magazine's intent. --- yuen
\_ You know it won't happen, since if it did, the mag would lose
all this $ from cancelled subscriptions and boycotts. Anyways,
he shouldn't.
\_ Why shouldn't he?

honor it is seen as one anyway. If it wasn't seen as one,
there'd be no controversy.
\_ Hitler and Stalin have been men of the year.
\_ Yes, and? So what? So was the Iyatollah(sp?).
\_ So what? So, moral qualifications have nothing
to do with being named Man of The Year, just
being influential on world events.
\_ You missed the part where only Time thinks
being named Man of the Year isn't an honor.
The rest of the planet thinks it is, therefore
it is and naming a scumbag like Bin Laden *is*
honoring him and it shouldn't be so. Why is
this so hard to understand? Time is just
disingenuous and intentionally controversial
as a PR stunt.
\_ They named Hitler before he killed all the Jewish
people. They named Stalin at the end of WW2.

once in 42.
\_ So you meant Hitler was a "good guy" before the
holocaust?
\_ Do you have a problem? Disheveled Historians
in 1938 could say Hitler was a Historical
Figure for creating a military machine, but

Let me make it clear that I am not advocating "sitting idly by."
This kind of acts have to be dealt with and most likely force
will be necessary. What I am objecting to is the use of _blind_
rage. You have painted all muslims alike. You are advocating
the killing of innocent people when you call for the death of
celebrating palestinians. Their behavior is as abhorrent as
yours. But all it is, are words, for them and hopefully for you
as well. It may sound like BS but the _right_ people has to be
found and should be punished. Killing the wrong people will just
justify another terrorist attack in the mind of some misguided
suicide bomber/hijacker/whatever.
I hope I can get you to agree that the action that is needed
today has to be deliberate and just. Or, would you rather
that we kill innocent people just so we can say we had revenge?

9/12 Recall that WWI was a powder keg which exploded when a terrorist
assasinnated the archduke of Serbia. Of course, after millions
of people had died. We then set in motion another series of events
which caused WW2, where HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of people died.
Surely, we need a response, but we can't let it explode into all
out war. Are you willing to die to get revenge? Are millions of
lives worth the revenge? Just try to stay calm and think carefully.
VERY CAREFULLY.
\_ No one will interfere with the US. Pretty much all nations that
matter said "this should not go unanswered." No one will stop the
US as they plow through the middle east taking out terrorist
nests with guided rockets and bombs.

that if they did, the US would completely fucking obliterate them.
Therefore, we must now do so, or our threat is void and further

5/9 Congratulations on the fifty sixth anniversary of the great victory
of the Soviet people over the german aggressors.
\_ soviet who?
\_ what battle was this? -ig'nant
\_ This was the Great Patriotic War, also known as World War 2.
\_ Little Troll, in order to attract attention you must stick with
topics people think they know something about or have an opinion
on. Your implying that the Soviets did all the work in WWII to
put down the Nazis, that the Allies weren't even there and further
that the Soviets were some sort of innocent victims headed by that
benevolent butcher Stalin is wasted on the ignorant masses on the
motd. Those of us who know what you're talking about know better.
You can't rewrite history like this. Maybe you could get someone
upset for about 3 seconds if you denied the holocaust. 3 seconds.
\_ I beg to differ. Judging by the responses below, that was
a hell of a troll.
\_ There's a difference between getting hyped up about it which
was the intent of the troll and educating him. I seriously
doubt he wanted lessons on WWII from half the motd authors.
\_ Ah, but I am not rewriting history at all. The point is,
Russia does celebrate May 9th as V-day. And it does so happen
that it was Russia that broke Wehrmacht's back, and took Berlin
(at a great loss of life too, 20 million was a state figure, it
was more like 50 million). Now, I certainly don't think Stalin
was benevolent by any stretch of imagination, but the russians
did win, bad leadership or no. And I give credit where credit
is due. Now, what did Americans do during the war besides
providing attrition for the U-boat torpedo bays with their endless
supply of trading vessels?
\_ Uh, Americans took Normady, Sicily, North Africa and
the retook the philipines and most of south asia.
As I recall, American and Russian forces entered Berlin
on the same day.
\_ Americans took Sicily from Italians who knew very little
about war (incidentally Italians and Romanians were the
rear units of the Army Group assigned to take
Stalingrad, they were easily overrun and destroyed by
the Russians, completing the encirclement.) The Allies
didn't take North Africa from the Axis for as long as
Rommel was there, kicking ass and taking names.
\_ Rommel got his ass kicked in N.Africa. Try again.
Americans did take Normandy with some loss of life, and
I admit it to have been a gutsy move on their part. My
point is, all these operations were minor at best, and
had no tangible influence on the outcome of the War that
was essentially fought on the Russian steppes.
\_ It's your point, yes, but it's also complete
nonsense.
\_ There's a reason it was called an "alliance". Without the
Americans (and British, Canadians, etc, etc) pulling forces
away from the east, the Russians would have been lucky to lose
only 50 million and it would've been a miracle if they didn't
get totally crushed even under the weak military leadership
Hitler provided. That the Russians have a holiday for
something hardly makes it a historical fact that they single
handedly defeated the Nazis while the West watched from the
sidelines. Your last line about uboats is historically
inaccurate and your entire revisionist line is a reinvention
of reality. At least this time you tried to provide some
facts even though your baiting was still based on a flawed
understanding of history. Read a book not published by the
producers of the People's Daily World some day. For true
trolling you would have posted more numbers without any
citation and taken them as gospel. You're getting better but
still need some work. I'm changing your D- to a B-.
\_ Troll schools are hard up for teachers, aren't they?
Check http://uboat.net for the gory details of the U-boat war
that american propaganda does not talk about. Germans
measured U-boat success in thousands of tons of shipping
sunk. As in 80 this month, 200 that month. Do you realize
how much that is? As for the West 'helping' the only real
help they provided to russia was very limited material
assistance via Archangelsk (which they could certainly
have done without). By the time the Allies joined the
war in 1944, it was already won, the russians were chasing
germans across eastern europe back into Berlin.
\_ Yeah, the Russians did the most fighting, but even
before normandy, the other allies absorbed some
German forces in north africa, the balkans, battle of
britain, bombing of Germany, etc.
\_ True enough, Rommel and his Afrika Corp was kept
somewhat occupied trouncing British forces (which
outnumbered him and had far more supplies). The
poster I was replying to, though, was claiming that
without Allies Russia would have likely lost, which
is ridiculous. America deliberately sat on the
sidelines to let Russia and Germany bleed each other.
This is a fine political strategy, but please don't
have the gall to claim some sort of value or military
worth for America's participation in WWII.
\_ Rommel got pounded in North Africa. He wasn't
"kept somewhat occupied".
\_ well, you have to admit that russia got its ass
kicked hard up until stalingrad. the germans
failed at stalingrad partly due to factors caused
by having to deal with the other allies on the
other fronts, and having their airforce wiped out,
and being bombed to hell by massive fleets of
US bombers. if the germans had been able to bring
the full blitzkrieg on early enough, with full
support, it's doubtful the russians would have
made it through that winter.
\_ Russia did get its ass kicked hard. But the
victory at Stalingrad was entirely Russia's.
The bombing that early in the war had no
appreciable effect, Britain's Bomber command
was taking it's heaviest losses at that time.
The real reason Russia won Stalingrad was
Hitler's stupid insistence on taking the city
(as it was symbolic, being named after his
adversary), as well Russia's first use of
sophisticated pincer tactics in delaying the
bulk of German forces in Stalingrad's rubble,
while using fresh divisions to surround, break
up, and finally destroy Paulus' forces.
\_ Russia hardly invented pincer tactics. The
Romans were flanking their enemies 2000+
years earlier. Good try.
\_ You didn't parse my sentence correctly.
I didn't claim Russia invented pincer
tactics, merely that Stalingrad was the
first time Russia used such tactics.
\_ I agree. I have a lot of respect for the Russian
tenacity in breaking the Wehrmacht. I agree that
Russia would likely be able to defeat Hitler
even without the western front being opened, as
can be seen from Stalingrad and Kursk. However,
US and Britain did make the job much easier and
less costly with the landing at Normandy and
subsequent actions. US involvement also prevented
western Europe from becoming Soviet's protectorates.
Also, we must remember that WWII started when
Hitler and Stalin decided to divide up Poland.
Finally, US did help win the War in Asia.
\_ Russia probably could have helped herself a lot more by not
signing a treaty with the Nazis in 1939, dividing Poland between
the two of them, and sitting on their collective asses while
Western Europe was overrun in the blitzkrieg.
\_ Wouldn't have worked. Even before his rise to power
Hitler felt that russia could not be trusted and
would need to have been eliminated.
\_ General Patten (sp?) felt the same.
\_ well, then they probably wouldn't have ended up annexing
said half of poland, and east prussia. i bet stalin didn't
really give a shit about the tens of millions of lost lives.
strategically, the war was quite good for russia and made
them a superpower.
\_ Um, isn't (s)he talking about some specific event, like that
time when they led the Germans in really deep over the cracking
ice so they all froze and drowned?
\_ Dude, that event is Alexander Nevsky's victory over the
mute Germans. That happened like in the 14th cent. or sth.
\_ Hmm, this sounds like how they defeated the French army
under Napoloen.
\_ A little known meteorological fact: The worst winters in
Russian history were in the years 1812, and 1943.
\_ How lucky the Russians were!
\_ "Lucky."
\_ It's not that the Russians were lucky, it's
just that evil people like Napoleon and Hitler
were unlucky. Napoleon's real bad luck was that
he fought a Britain that just started undergoing
the industrial revolution. |
