Germany is the size of just 1 US state and took on the world and was winning half the time. Then after defeat, your VICTORIOUS and SUPERIOR armies raped the entire German nation for all of its technology ensuring postwar victories with Oh Boy,I wonder if you'd ever seen Hollywood productions. If you watched them you would have learned by now that imbecile looking,incompetent German hordes were defeated by a few American Heroes,each 10 ft tall and has IQ over 180. Needless to say the quality and capabilities of their equipment were even beyond the imagination of stupid Germans. Read a f**king history book Brooks. It was Rommel who inspected the Atlantic Wall and criticized its lack of any strategic depth. He made a short but futile attempt to rectify parts of the wall realizing that the armored reserves would be needed in the first 48 hrs to throw the I have serious doubts here. At least one German cabinet member,Ribbentrop,had detailed plans of Operation Overlord. Thats a fact. The Rommel is the one who personally convinced Hitler that the assauly could come only from Calais and made Hitler believe that the document showing the details of Operating Overlord was a deliberate British diversion attempt. We may never know why Rommel misled Hitler,did he honestly believe that Calais was the target ?,or something else,but I believe his execution or suicide has more to do with the events just before Normandy Landings than events in July. |

Oh, of course, we forgot about the evil Yankees and the vicious Engländer stripping the resources of the innocent German people, whose glorious achievements in conquering the lesser nations of the world were such an example to us all. Fe What's size got to do with it? US states didn't pursue an aggressive foreign policy of conquest or a domestic policy of terror. Face facts, you blinkered apologist. Hitler's military and scientific "achievements" were mostly short-term and impractical, and were paid for in terms of blood and suffering. Few areas of research were not being pursued in Allied countries as well. As much as I respect Rommel, wasn't he the guy who commanded the losing side at Normandy, having taken a quick getaway trip back to see his family when the invasion began because he thought there was no *way* the allies would attack in that kind of weather...? Read a f**king history book Brooks. It was Rommel who inspected the Atlantic Wall and criticized its lack of any strategic depth.

He is a true hero for mankind, a man of honor respected by friend and foe alike. You Brooks, OTOH, are a jackass. If he was such an honourable man, what was he doing serving Hitler in the first place? The Allies were only a threat to Germany, as you put it, because Germany was such a threat to the rest of the world. France and the UK declared war on Germany, but only because Germany invaded Poland. Rob p.s. Can't wait for the two pinheads to chime in too- Keith Willshaw and Al Minyard. Is it any wonder that many people regard the Germans as arrogant? Brooks Rob -- Peter Ying tong iddle-i po! |

![]() "robert arndt" wrote in message om... Or better those morons like you that cannot accept the fact that Germany is the size of just 1 US state and took on the world and was winning half the time. And losing the other half. Overunning Belgium was no great trick and Norway was no super power. They managed to beat France to be sure but the first time the vaunted Luftwaffe met a technically equal but smaller force it was stopped dead. By late 1940 Britain alone was outproducing Germany in terms of most major military systems despite a much smaller population and economy, Then the Fuhrer attacked Russia - STOOPID Then after defeat, your VICTORIOUS and SUPERIOR armies raped the entire German nation for all of its technology ensuring postwar victories without any real effort on your part to develop them yourself... in areas so unimportant as say... aviation and space technology... just to name two! The USA had better jet aircraft in 1945 than Germany did The late model Meteor was faster than the Me-262 and far more reliable. The Germans never did get their engines to work for more than 25 hours while the Rolls Royce engines in the Meteor were good for 2000 Germany never managed to build a succesful heavy bomber, the USA had 3 types in service and the B-36 under development The NACA in the USA was alreay working on swept wing technology in 1945 Von Braun acknowledged that all his work was built on the foundations laid by Goddard. The rocket engines used in the X planes post war were designed by Goddard's team and were far BETTER and more reliable than those in the Me-163 Then there is the fiasco that was the German nuclear project. The myth of German technical superiority is just that. Keith |
