Gee, am I lucky that I do not belong to a military nation. And yet, our Icelandic fishermen fed the British empire as well as they could by crossing the dangerous seas in their small vessels.
am: : I guess this one was aimed at me :
"You repeat propagation of the doctor Gebbels. Russian certainly prepared for war. But all their scripts of war began with reflection of attack, instead of from an attack. You can one million time speak, that Russian prepared to attack in 42, but it is all your imagination."
Well, I never read much of Goebbels work, in fact the bastard's propoganda makes me sick to the stomach. But this is not my "imagination", but a source on former "TOP SECRET" russian documents retrived from russian archives after the fall of the iron curtain. (This was followed up in the TV series "the cold war".) Aside from that, I do not think this is so unbelivable, - russian policy at the time was an aggressive one. But anyway, the Germans DID start the show, and they DID (in my opinion) top the scale of murder and crime.
However, had the russians been the aggressor, I doubt that the brutality would have been much less.
And Horthund, this one from you:
"The evil Nazis invaded the evil Russians. This was good for the less evil English, and the relatively good Americans. In the end, the evil Russians defeated the evil Nazis with the help from the not so evil English and the relatively good Americans. The evil Russians then enslaved most of Eastern europe. "
Good one, and I agree with the most of it.
