What the heck does all this have to do with MM wondering about deer hunting or the lack of it in Australia??

No disrespect to the older generation who faught in the Wars.
sorry perhaps I didn't write this in the manner as to which I meant, I know Hitler was a B'stard with a capital B and he went the way he should have, would have been nicer if he was captured and died a slow painful death I don't deny that, what I meant was the German's have immigration right and their economy is tight, no recessions now. I do like the freedom we have and are very thankful to my Parents and Uncles, and all the people who fought hard to keep it that way, I don't and never have liked communisum, it sounds great on paper but not in practice. I had family who were stuck behind the Iron Curtain, I never saw my Great Aunt and any correspondance with her was censured, she unfortunatly died before the wall came down.Horticattleman":gqh72s42 said:chrisy":gqh72s42 said:what relivance has all this to do with deer shoting....I don't care who carries guns in America I am here in England, and like our gun laws...Sometimes I wonder if it would be better that we were talking German, as there economy and imigration laws seems to be fine.

Chrisy you fail to realize that had you "acquired" the German dialect, you would also have "acquired" Mr. Hitler and his barbaric ways. Do you think all that would be the same had he remained in power..probably not! You're probably right though it would be better to be under communist control and wondering when the government is going to knock on your door and execute someone in your family for no reason instead of having the freedom to hop on your computer and :compute: whenever you dang well please. :roll: No disrespect to those who don't fight for freedom of course ;-)

Don't try to downplay the role that others had in that war with this kind of garbage remark. If it weren't for ALL OF THE ALLIES, we'd all be speaking Japanese and/or German. Remember, it took a couple of years for the US to even enter the war and before that all that stood in the way was the Brits and their allies.

Best I recall much of the German army froze to death. Many were killed in combat. They retreated in defeat...how the heck do you think the Russians beat us to Berlin.

Why does everyone forget that Hitler was in fact an Austrian, and that while he may have recruited many Germans for his army, just as many opposed him and his regime. Some were more outspoken than others. As the great grand-daughter of a man who spoke out against Hitler and his crazy ideas, and who was taken as a POW and sent away from his family as a result, I take great offence each time I hear people generalising 'the Germans'.
I am proud of my German G.Grandfather, and the beliefs he stood for, and he suffered many physical and mental injuries to maintain his stance and dignity. I am proud to be a German-Australian.
