This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

<HTML>One of my grandfathers was KIA by germans in 1941. My other grandfather survived and wasted quite a few germans between 1941 and 1945. A war is a war, so I wouldn't bring up against Germans the killing of my granddaddy.
However,
Many members of our family were slaughtered by the nazis in the concentration camps. Their only crime was that they were jews. I will never forget this, and I will tell my children to remeber. Just to be fair, some other members of my extended family were in Stalin's concentration camps, and their only crime was that they were ... Germans born in Russia. One of my uncles is half-German half-Jewish, believe it or not. I have Jewish, German, Polish and Russian blood, from what I know. Many of my German relatives didn't make it through Siberia and Kazakhstan. So I hate communists and nazis equally (Hitler mostly slaughtered Jews, Gypsies and etc. and Stalin slaughtered people regardless of race, IMHO both maniacks were way worth each other). I will teach my kids to hate communists as well as nazis. As for Russians and Germans - they don't get much respect from me as they allowed Communists and Nazis to take over these two countries. Totalitarian tradition was strong, so both nations enslaved themselves and therefore ended up in the greatest meatgrinder of all times and nations. Americans are born and educated so that they are free. Americans seem to value freedom and I can't imagine something like Hitler's or Stalin's regime in the USA.</HTML>
