You are being trolled by Craptain Kneel. Take it to his home group if you want
to continue.

Thats not Capt Neal, but he is right. You would not have seen
Americans smoking and joking with Hitler jr and his gestapo.

But hey, what's to be expected, seems the Brits are not willing to
provide it's troops with the proper tools and weapons, and support to
keep them from becoming hostages.

I'm sure every wacko in the middle east will now be looking for more
hostages to take. Thank goodness Blair pulled all the Brits from
inspecting ships, let someone who can do the job without surrendering
to thugs in old ski boats with Johnson outboards do it.

Where is another Margret Thatcher when you need her?

You need to go and learn some of your own history:

Americans companies and individuals who lined up to kiss Hitler's butt
included:

IBM
General Motors
Ford
Chrysler
Standard Oil (Exxon)
Du Pont
Union Carbide
Westinghouse
General Electric
Gilette
Goodrich
Singer
Eastman Kodak
Coca-Cola
ITT
Sullivan & Cromwell
J. P. Morgan
Dillon
Read and Company
Union Bank of New York
Prescott Bush, grandfather of George W. Bush

Graeme K. Howard, Vice President of General Motors, published America
and a New World Order, in which he advised that America give full
cooperation to the Nazi regime.

Henry Ford published anti-smeitic books and insisted that America should
support Hitler. Indeed he put his money where his mouth was and many US
troops were sickened to discover in Normandy that the products used to
kill their comrades had been built by Ford.

Henry Ford and Jim Mooney of GM were decorated with the Order of the
German Eagle by Hitler (a great deal of butt kissing involved there).

And then there were Peter Delaney (Waffen SS) and Martin James Monti
(SS), both American citizens and also the American Free Corps, a unit
whose very existence appears to have been suppressed by the USA. Whereas
the British investigated, identified and punished British collaborators.
The US government swept the issue of collaboration under the carpet and
handed out derisory brief sentences to Nazi collaborators.

Whilst I take your point, I can't imagine a Kraut running at your Slit
trench grasping a sewing machine would be too problematic. Unless you
were only armed with a crochet hook!

How do you think those Fallschirmjaeger parachutes were made? Or those
machine gun ammo belts, uniforms, canvas truck tops, etc. etc.

Not to mention the economic benefit to the Nazi regime. Even the US
Senate has ruled (1974) that without the involvement of US companies
that Germany's re-armament under Hitler would have been much more
difficult, or even impossible to achieve.

I wasn't really expecting that witticism to be taken seriously.

Sorry, someone seemed to have snipped all the witticisms from your post
before it arrived here.

Prince Philip talks frankly about his family's links with the Nazis
Prince Philip has broken a 60-year public silence about his family's
links with the Nazis. He said they found Hitler's attempts to restore
Germany's power 'attractive' and admitted they had 'inhibitions about
the s'. The revelations come in a book about German royalty kowtowing
to the Nazis, which features photographs never published in the UK.
They include one of Philip at the 1937 funeral, flanked by relatives
in SS and Brownshirt uniforms. Another one shows his sister Sophia
sitting opposite Hitler at the wedding of Hermann and Emmy Goering.
"There was a lot of enthusiasm for the Nazis, the economy was good, we
were anti-Communist and who knew what was going to happen to the
regime?"

Secret files reveal WW2 problem of Nazi nobles
Newly-released papers show the scale of suspicion and fear around the
British High Command during the Second World War. It has emerged that
intelligence chiefs faced a dilemma over how many aristocrats with
Nazi sympathies they should arrest, amid fears that interning too many
would inflate their importance. MI5 spied on a god-daughter of the
late King George V, Dowager Viscountess Dorothy Downe, noting her as a
"most fanatical admirer of Hitler" and intercepting her mail.

Tu quoque is a logical fallacy. Not that I care much for the opinions of
a loud mouthed Greek fascist.
