State of the US armed forces

Its time to read the facts and see that the nazis had to fight as much at the fronts as they had to fight behind them. Constant sabotaging and the loss of troops enentually took their toll and the nazis lost at the front as well. To deny this, despite all historical facts, isnt much different than to deny that the nazis killed jews.

Are you really trying to say that resistance movements in any European countries caused the loss of the war? Maybe the Russian partisans had a significant impact, but not the others.

The facts are that the Nazis had a very successful occupation technique. In many countries they were able to play the populations against each other, and in many others they were able to draw recruits.

Some countries such as France were easy to occupy, and some like Greece were a bit tougher, but neither had a significant impact on the Nazis ability to wage war. As i said earlier.. the myths of glorious resistance are just that - myths.

Collaboration was never hidden,where you have heroes you ll have traitors and no nation is immune to this, its just that the collaborators were mostly killed or fled after the nazis pulled out, as collaborators always do. The stigma of having a collaborator in the family still exists in some places today 60 years after.

In many countries the Nazis only needed a token force as they could play the collaborators against the "patriots".. that part is downplayed if not ignored by many.



PS. Do you really have to make vague links between the Nazis and the Americans? Remember where that innuendo lead last time... ~:eek

well, by 1942 the Nazis had commited about 600,000 men to Yugoslavia, that's 38 divisions that weren't available for El Alamein or STalingrad.

Just sayin, props where they are due.
