JB, sup!

I'm not playing AH any more but I check the board out every once in a while and leave a nice message - obviously this thread was too tempting. Sadly nobody has jumped up yet and called me bad things for my post - kids these days are so slow for the baitl Whats happenin here people?



As for the article them are some confused nazis, specially since there were several whole Waffen SS divisions full of Muslims during the war.

Still tho, should it be any surprise that there are people with such tendencies that then like to play dress up as Waffen SS during the weekend.  Its just like the Confederate re-enactors in the USA - I bet a few of them are a bit too dedicated to their "cause" too.

Perhaps you should do some research. Those Confederate re-enactors are ALSO  Union re-enactors.

Someone has to be the Bad Guys every now and then, and i have already made the plunge from the Higgins boat onto the beach so it's only right that i play a German the next year the event takes place.

As far as Civil War Re-enacters go, they are the best people you'll ever meet and will go out of thier way to help others out.Re-enacting if oner of the funnest things a human being can do and it keeps History alive so that others  can learn about the past.

Like the Moroccans, Senegalese and so on ?

I lived in Morocco when I was younger and they thought the Nazi where great and nationalized all French property within the country.

I lived there during the Spanish Sahara War.  We had friends that where Jewish and every time they would come over to visit our fatima would refuse to be in the same room with them.  I could never understand how they survived in a country that hated them so much.

The point the program made was that the group in question had a disproportionate percentage of people playing SS. It certainly wasn't a chore for them, more the main reason they joined.

Higgins boats are for daisies. Real man jump from LVT's

Allow me to play Devil´s advocate here for a moment:

Is it really right to discriminate against these people based on their political believes?

[Angus]

Yes. Absolutely

I understand where your coming from.  But when a political belief is founded on hatred of another race or religion, it needs to be kept under control.

That would make stiff Muslims rank as Nazis.

There is no racism better than another....
