In message , robert
arndt writes "Kevin Brooks" wrote in message ... The repetitive "If"...the continuing mantra of those who cannot accept the fact that Germany screwed the pooch in WWII and lost. 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. On the other hand, it took on Britain (smaller, less populated, less resourced) than Germany - and couldn't even knock her out of the war. Of course the Nazis had all sorts of war-winning devices to beat Britain, but for some reason chose not to use them. 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! Some of the German technology was useful. Some was useless. And some developments were thoroughly independent of German ideas: for instance, the Sidewinder missile was a US project that predated the fall of Germany and the assimilation of technology. 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 invaders back from Normandy. Hitler refused to allow Rommel to move them closer to the coast. Well, the superior Nazi intelligence services had calculated that Normandy was just a diversion and the main landing would be led into the Pas de Calais by Patton. Whoops. And criticizing a man of such dignity that he chose to take poison to save his family and not dishonor his nation (Germany, not Hitler nor the Nazi Party) is repugnant even for a ******* like you. Rommel wanted the war to end and Hitler dead as Hitler was to him a greater threat to Germany than the Allies. Fighting the *******'s war for five years is a really strange way of showing it. Or did he just change sides when Hitler started losing? WTF more do you want from the guy? He is a true hero for mankind, a man of honor respected by friend and foe alike. You Brooks, OTOH, are a jackass. Mr Kevin Brooks is often irascible and sometimes downright rude, but he at least believes in what he says. Rommel was a good commander, but if he despised his regime as much as you say... why was he trying to hard to spread it? -- He thinks too much: such men are dangerous. Julius Caesar I:2 Paul J.

![]() "robert arndt" wrote in message om... "Kevin Brooks" wrote in message ... "robert arndt" wrote in message om... Which pale beside his achievements. Montogomery like Patton was a prima-donna, a pain in the arse and an excellent field commander. Like all generals he made mistakes but got things more right than wrong. Keith And Rommel was better than both of them combined. If only he had the resources in men and material that the US/Britain possessed... or at least the Heer's PROMISED material from Berlin and not had to babysit the Italians! One might also wonder what would have happened if Hitler had listened to Guderian as well??? The repetitive "If"...the continuing mantra of those who cannot accept the fact that Germany screwed the pooch in WWII and lost. 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. You have trotted this nonsense out before, and were soundly trounced when the populations of the US and Germany in 1940 were noted; ISTR Keith was just the first to take you to task that time. Trying again? 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! Blah-blah-blah. More fanciful nonsense from the resident Nazi Lover. 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 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 invaders back from Normandy.

He is a true hero for mankind, a man of honor respected by friend and foe alike. You Brooks, OTOH, are a jackass. Uhmmm...you did not answer the questions--was it not Rommel who lost at Normandy, and didn't he choose to absent himself from the A/O right before the attack commenced? Thanks for the other kind words...I know it is hard for you to accept, but yes, The Reich was soundly defeated during the last World War, and it truly was full of bumbling idiots who helped assure that outcome. Brooks Rob p.s. Can't wait for the two pinheads to chime in too- Keith Willshaw and Al Minyard. Brooks Rob |

You have trotted this nonsense out before, and were soundly trounced when
the populations of the US and Germany in 1940 were noted; ISTR Keith was just the first to take you to task that time. Trying again? Just curious,but did you add up the populations of US,UK,USSR,India,Canada,Australia,NZ, Poland,France and lots of other countries in 3 continents? The Reich was soundly defeated during the last World War, and it truly was full of bumbling idiots who helped assure that outcome. So? King Leonidas was soundly defeated at Thermoplyae,Confederates during Civil War and Germans during WWII. All of them were soundly defeated because of very same reason. |

Leonidas knew about the goat path that would allow bad guys to get behind him but didnt send reliable sentries to watch it. DOH ! The Confederates were disorganised and inept, hell they couldnt agree on ANYTHING, so every army they fielded was a quartermasters nightmare with a dozen different types of personal weapon and no commonality in uniforms. This latter led to Confederates being all too often shot at by fellow rebs from anuther state. The Germans in WW2 were so convined of their natural superiority over the untermencshen that were their enemies that they didnt merely content themselves with fighting on 2 fronts like their Fathers in WW1 but opened hostilities in the Mediterranean and Balkans as well as Western Europe and Russia Keith |

to get behind him but didnt send reliable sentries to watch it. DOH ! He would be defeated anyway,but a little bit later maybe . The Confederates were disorganised and inept, hell they couldnt agree on ANYTHING, so every army they fielded was a quartermasters nightmare with a dozen different types of personal weapon and no commonality in uniforms. This latter led to Confederates Excellent description plus they faced a 4,5 times bigger opponent. So why mighty union needed four years to defeat a such incompetent ragtop opponents and lost more soldiers than incompetent and poor Confederates ?. BTW,Among confederate foot soldiers there were many sons of southern dynasties and they together with the sons of less priveledged families fought wars even without shoes till the bitter end. Confederates were truly Aristocrats and Knights of North America. The Germans in WW2 were so convined of their natural superiority over the untermencshen that were their enemies that they didnt merely content themselves with fighting on 2 fronts like their Fathers in WW1 but opened hostilities in the Mediterranean and Balkans But every time to contain and defeat Germans you needed to create a "Global Alliance" of countless nations and countries. As far as I know GB did not need a global alliance to subdue Boers which tells something about the caliber of Germans. |

Rubbish. Soldiers from all over the empire were needed to subdue a
handful of Boers. The only difference between Germans and Boers is numbers. Boers are top-quality fighters. Tough as nails. True,Boer war a foretaste what was coming as Boers,unlike populations british colonies,were continrntal Europeans. But still British managed to subdue Boers without help from US,USSR etc. Soldiers all over empire were obviously present during both world wars. |

In terms of the field army perhaps double So why mighty union needed four years to defeat a such incompetent ragtop opponents and lost more soldiers than incompetent and poor Confederates ?. Because attacking an entrenched enemy with late 19th century weapons was as difficult as it was to prove in WW1 BTW,Among confederate foot soldiers there were many sons of southern dynasties and they together with the sons of less priveledged families fought wars even without shoes till the bitter end. Confederates were truly Aristocrats and Knights of North America. Not to mention slavemasters The Germans in WW2 were so convined of their natural superiority over the untermencshen that were their enemies that they didnt merely content themselves with fighting on 2 fronts like their Fathers in WW1 but opened hostilities in the Mediterranean and Balkans But every time to contain and defeat Germans you needed to create a "Global Alliance" of countless nations and countries. Note that in neither WW1 nor WW2 did Germany fight on its own. In WW1 it allied with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Turkey. In WW2 its allies included Italy, Rumania, Hungary and Bulgaria As far as I know GB did not need a global alliance to subdue Boers which tells something about the caliber of Germans. The Boers were rather fewer in number than Germans Keith |
