But I think Stuka's are a bit more menacing looking....I can only imagine the fear they struck all over Europe as they descended upon their prey. Rudel's story has always amazed me, the things that man went through, and he kept crawling back in the cockpit.Tricky Trevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731442447278058898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12226146.post-1142561201723109332006-03-16T21:06:00.000-05:002006-03-16T21:06:00.000-05:00Well put, JtTWell put, JtTTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614691324815885803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12226146.post-1142516639355126202006-03-16T08:43:00.000-05:002006-03-16T08:43:00.000-05:00Tim--We've just begun corresponding, so I'll expla...Tim--<BR/><BR/>We've just begun corresponding, so I'll explain. I NEVER insinuate. I come right out and SAY. Therefore, you can now see that I wasn't saying that we're roasting humans at Gitmo, just pointing out that we have no idea what goes on there, (which, honestly, we don't)just as many Germans didn't know what went on at Auschwitz. My point is, ours is FAR from the first government to hide its activities from the populace, and the populace usually makes it easy to do.<BR/><BR/>If I ever intend to compare Bush to Hitler, you'll see come right out and say "Bush is like Hitler, and here's why....."<BR/><BR/>As far as the smell goes, many Germans I'm sure weren't close enough to catch it, and those that were (and had the balls to ask about it) probably believed whatever lie they were told. Just like the 36% of us who still approve of Bush do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12226146.post-1142479118763774152006-03-15T22:18:00.000-05:002006-03-15T22:18:00.000-05:00Thank you for stoping by, Shoprat!

I too, after standing in the gas chamber in Dachau (a suburb of Munich) fail to know how everday Germans didn't know what "that smell" (which still permeated the air almost 40 years later) was all about. Joe- although I am against Gitmo (I was there during the Mariel boat lift in 1980), I know that whatever went on there is as nothing as to what happened in Dachau. Yes it is wrong to hold people w/o trial, etc., but I don't believe we are exterminating people wholesale. To equate Bush to Nazi Germany a far far stretch. That being said, I will be glad to see him gone in two years.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614691324815885803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12226146.post-1142464444585317842006-03-15T18:14:00.000-05:002006-03-15T18:14:00.000-05:00I'm sure that people didn't know what was going on...I'm sure that people didn't know what was going on at Auschwitz any more than we know what goes on at Gitmo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12226146.post-1142455989734011862006-03-15T15:53:00.000-05:002006-03-15T15:53:00.000-05:00As there were villians who fought for America, the...As there were villians who fought for America, there were decent people who fought, not so much for Hitler as for their country. Some of were actually unaware of the scope of the Holocaust, though I do not know how that would be possible. My best friend in college's Mom grew up in Hitler's Germany and she didn't know what he really was until the last months of WWII - but she was quite young then too.shoprathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05265612188236394307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12226146.post-1142370452235950572006-03-14T16:07:00.000-05:002006-03-14T16:07:00.000-05:00Welcome back, Mark!Some of those cartoons are very...Welcome back, Mark!<BR/>Some of those cartoons are very funny. I liked the one that said "6 million Jews died and Barbara Striesand gets yo live? Must be a lie." I still think the Mohammed cartoons were a bad idea. I have seen some of the Arab cartoons attacking Jews and they are way more vile than anything from boomka. Personally, I like art to be humorous in a non offensive way. I think holocast denial is very wrong as well. <BR/>This is another major flaw in the character of Rudel. All through Stuka Pilot, every time he meets with Hitler, he raves about the genius of the man, and how those around him have lied to and betrayed him at every turn. After the war, he actively said that he doubted the truth about the final solution. When I researched this post, my web search pulled up a couple of neo-nazi links, praising this hero of Germany who refused to be defeated by moving to Argentina, etc.,etc. white supremacy garbage. I had mixed emotions about posting the post, but decided to go ahead and do it. As I said in the post, you have to have a worthy adversary to bring out the Heroes within your own ranks, and Rudel was such an adversary. <BR/>To email me, just click on the Captain America at the right and you can email from that page.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614691324815885803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12226146.post-1142347882476981442006-03-14T09:51:00.000-05:002006-03-14T09:51:00.000-05:00Tim - This is off-topic, but since you have no e-m...Tim - This is off-topic, but since you have no e-mail available, I am leaving it here.

But created by Jews to underscore the fact that no cartoons, however offensive, should be censored out of fear of reprisal.<BR/><BR/>They also mirror what is published in the Arab world on a daily basis.<BR/><BR/>On this topic, nice drawing, and yeah, most of the German Army and Air Force weren't Nazis. One of Rommel's motivations for being involved in the plot to assassinate Hitler was learning of the Final Solution, something he was not made privy to at first, if my memory serves.Deadmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08449318388713585299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12226146.post-1142260353223289682006-03-13T09:32:00.000-05:002006-03-13T09:32:00.000-05:00Thanks for stopping by guysThanks for stopping by guysTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614691324815885803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12226146.post-1142258214991759492006-03-13T08:56:00.000-05:002006-03-13T08:56:00.000-05:00O'Tim must have seen it in syndication, as I hardl...O'Tim must have seen it in syndication, as I hardly remember it and we're about the same age.
