That's Hitler for you.

Cool film find Skyrock.  Definitely not showing the real picture of what was going on at the time.

I wonder if we could draw any parallels with today's media on the war?

Likely not.

Possibly... We're kicking the daylights out of the enemy and our media ignores everything except how many of our guys are killed. It's as if the major news organizations were the propaganda wing of the bad guys!

The Allies suffered more casualties on June 6th, 1944 than the US has suffered during the entire duration of the Iraq war. I would wager that you will NOT see that factiod on ABC/NBC/CBS news tonight (or on the Communist News Network... opps "CNN" either).

Skyrock, Kudos for unearthing this gem

The way you worded that is a little loaded, lets see if I can help. 

The US has more casualties in the IRAQ war than the US had on D-day. 

There, a little better perspective.

thanks, I thought it was a gem too, although I wasn't trying play current politics with it.

oh so true

Was that old Dieppe footage?

I was thinking the same thing, I know some of it was, those canadians and higlanders were in dieppe.

No, you couldnt find even one. At least that of a American media outlet painting a rosie picture upon threat of death and imprisonment by a war time Govt. Had a German newspaper wrote an actual account the editors and writers would have been thrown in concentration camps along with their families. Not that it would matter anyway because the story never would have made it past Goebbels censors.

BTW the penalty in Germany at the time for treason was beheading.

I know its fashionable lately for Americans, at least those who have never visited countries with limited freedoms, to compare our country to the Soviet Union, or WW-ll Germany. But when I ask them for comparisons between the societies they suddenly go mum. Or just say stupid stuff.

And the reason for that is because there are no comparisons.
