 I am a us citizen but you can hardly say, I am colonial.  my german heritage goes along as I was born in the canadian province of mexico.  I right now live next to ontario.  I have family that fought for both germany and the usa.  heck I also have raramuri and spanish blood.

but truly zack you calling anybody in the usa colonials is kindda getting old.  heck i bet most us citizens arent even descendants from england by now.  btw didnt we get into the war because you British blokes signed stupid treaties and so we had to go rescue you  .

Japan atacked Pearl Harbor aswell as many other islands in the pacific. Hitler, being allies with Japan, actually formally declared war on the U.S (only time he ever did that). By creating a two front war he probably thought America would have huge problems producing anything that could stop his roll through Europe.

But irregardless, this thread is about a man who followed his orders. Not all German soldiers were bad people. They are indeed humans and only following their commanders orders.

You are responsible for your own actions

[PR3D4TOR]

Everyone is responsible for their own actions, and only their own actions. Regardless of whether they are German tankers on the eastern front or for example British bomber crew over Dresden.

I knew Harris' bomber campaign would eventually mentioned.

One would hope it wouldn't be necessary, but...

Dont start wars and you dont get bombed

The Germans wanted the war while they were winning and moaned about it when they were losing.

So terrorists today should not be bombed?

Last time I checked Britain declared war on Germany.

Poor victimized Germany....

War is hell, Nazi leadership was evil. Imperial Japanese Leadership was evil as was the bushido code as it was used to justify implorable actions.  The allies made mistakes in hindsight.

A very small percentage of the German military personnel were Nazis and did evil deeds.  As another poster mentioned, the subject tanker did his nation's duty.  We shouldn't hold ill will 70 years later.  Thank goodness as I have to live with and work alongside Germans and Italians.

Go read The Forgotten Soldier.
