Sofia after the Allied bombardments in 1943-1944

[ivanivan3736]

ONLY Hitler

I'm Bulgarian ;)

[Slu4ainika]

Our "saviors" from West....

[dimoskio]

Bulgarians were fashists and they still are

[Firewalkerbg]

@dimoskio It's spelt "fascist". Your obvious ignorance in terms of spelling, politics and history makes me wonder if you even know where Bulgaria is and what's its history as well as the political climate nowadays. May I suggest that you get back to jumping with the kangaroos there and leave the comments on the civilized world to somebody from the civilized world?

[BulgarianHooligan]

@dimoskio

Of course, we are nationalists!

[12W24]

@ NikiGalabov What a bunch of BullShit! Aren't you ashamed to be lying like that? What do you think, we all came out of Pozitano 20 like yourself?

There have never been bombardment of Sofia over a few instances as I described them. There are documents for all that, public documents of the war protocols.

Remember boy, liers go to hell!

[vasil21]

Its is a pity that the idiotic government has allowed a monument to these war criminals to be build.

[12W24]

That is big pile of lies here. Sofia's been bombed on total of 4 locations - Commercial Street, the Airport, the National Council and the stables of the Army Barracks in the outskirts. That was on the first day of attack. After that Bulgarians never shot at US planes and were left without a scar. And you BG guys, know it is true.

[NikiGalabov]

@12W24 I don't know from where you have that information but it is fake. Bulgaria was bombed a lot by USA and Britain during WW2 and not only with bombs but also with toys which had hidden bombes in them and when a child touches the toy to play with it, it explodes tering its hands off. The American and British military during WW2 were sick bastards and deserve to burn in HELL!!!

[ThePetardaProduction]

you got what you deserved.You were killing peoples,and then your peoples got killed.

[919395bk]

u were bombed cuz u were helping hitler....its your faulth....

[NikiGalabov]

@919395bk

It is our fault because we were helping Hitler?????

And that is why thousands of defensless women and children had to be killed and 2/3rds of our capital raised to the ground?

It is clear that you have been brainwashed by US propaganda!!!

[919395bk]

@NikiGalabov what US propaganda u idiot? i am from serbia and i hate US and all western bullshits...but i have my opinion about this...u bulgarians attacked us in ww1 and u were helping nazis in ww2....and we had conflict in second balkan wars...bulgarians were always against us and did terrible things to serbs in ww1...so this is nothing in compare of that...

[NikiGalabov]

@919395bk

I am a Bulgarian and I know how you Serbians betrayed us during the Balkan wars. We had a pact to fight against Turkey! But you plotted with the Greeks to betray us and you illegally occupied Macedonia which btw was in complete violation of the contract between us. You brainwashed millions of Bulgarians in Macedonia making them hate Bulgaria. Of course we allied will Germany as long as they will kick your and greek ass' we will be friends with them. Macedonia is BULGARIAN!!!

[919395bk]

@NikiGalabov against turkey serbs were practicly fighting alone cuz from army of balkans states(bulgaria,greece,montene­gro,serbia)66% were serbs...so we deserved macedonia...those were first balkan wars,one year later in second balkan wars were everybody against bulgaria and bulgaria lost ofc...so we didnt betrayed anyone...and we "brainwashed" who?....and yea you allied with germany cuz u can't beat us in battle alone...in last 100 years bulgaria lost all wars in which was against serbia...

[NikiGalabov]

@919395bk No you are wrong! Bulgaria is closer to Turkey's capital than Serbia and Turkey concentrated their main army in that sector, so Bulgarian power won most of the war and we had an agreement that Macedonia is OURS and you broke that agreement. And the reason we always ally with Germany is that Germany is against you and every time we love seeing the Germans kick your ass with our help!!!

[919395bk]

@NikiGalabov it doesn't matter that if u are closer to capital...2/3 balkan army were serbs...and serbs won todays(south serbia) and macedonia in that war...and u were always allying germans cuz it's easier to be on side stronger...serbia lost 33% of population in ww1 because we fought heroicly against germany and austria and than bulgarians attacked us from behind...

[ppll222]

@919395bk, Dont write bullshit and Read Carefully :

- In the first Balkan War participated:

.

Bulgaria 366,000 ppl. (600,000 mobilized) /

.. Serbia 190,000 ppl. (360,000 mobilized) /

. Greece 120,000 ppl. (250,000 mobilized) /

.M. Negro 36.000 ppl. /

[919395bk]

@ppll222 haha that is bullshit...u cant find those data nowhere....

[ppll222]

@919395bk No, this is not bullshit. Just, you are. .or reluctant or typical uneducated serbian ura-jingo. Henceforth, read only Russian or English sources.

Losses = killed + wounded + missing

[919395bk]

@ppll222 and which sources do you have,Bulgarian maybe? haha...

[ppll222]

@919395bk - In the first Balkan War, Losses:

Bulgaria 87.000 ppl. and 1.3 billion francs

.. Serbia 39.000 ppl. and 0.6 billion francs

. Greece 28.000 ppl. and 0.5 billion francs

.M. Negro 9.500 ppl. and 0.1 billion francs

Bulgaria led the most difficult battles and took the basic burthen in this War !!! Remember it very well

[RLDragonStrider]

@919395bk

Sorry Sir Douchebag next time Hitler knocks on your door wirh the Wehrmacht and asks you either join him or he runs over your house you say no.

Also the Bulgarian govenrment saved more than 50,000 jews from being shipped to concetration camps.

[LubeFan]

А после сме им били приятели!?

[jjamesbondoviza]

. През 1999 година американците хвърлиха обеднен уран и още по-опасен плутоноий 31 000 тона общо признати от НАТО

[jjamesbondoviza]

През 1943 година американските пилоти са хвърляли играчки-бомби които са късали ръцете на малки деца. Черва на бременни жени се влачели по улиците. Разрушен е и град Враца

[IustitiaPax]

Did Germany betray Bulgaria to the Soviet Communist sphere of influence? Or Roosevelt? Hitler or Churchill (at Potsdam)?

[petkovmarin]

Noone is to blame. It was inevitable since hitler attacked the soviets.

[NikiGalabov]

@IustitiaPax Germany has never betrayed Bulgaria. The guys who betrayed Bulgaria are Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt!!!

[IustitiaPax]

@NikiGalabov I know this. Did I say otherwise? Germany never betrayed the Kingdom of Bulgaria and King Boris III could retain his freedom to decide where to intervene. Bulgaria refused units to fight the USSR and Bolshevim as the Eastern Front. Because Bulgarians believed they would then fight Russians, not Communists. Of course I know that Churchill and Roosevelt betrayed Bulgaria to Stalin.

[sergiomarchelli]

3d world? hehe, man, our country has almost 2000 years of history. Or you call everything outside USA 3rd world?

So whats wrong with the turkish toilet?!

[guzarin]

[sergiomarchelli]

[chimpik]

@guzarin My country is a toilet, was unhappy? Your great country was dump of Europe where all the prostitutes, murderers, thieves and other vermin have been displaced so as not to wreak havoc across Evropa.Vashite grandmothers and dyavovtsi are those prostitutes and murderers, while Our ancestors were great voyni.Take that fuck you grandson of prostitutes and murderers

[tonin4o]

[martinalexandrov]

You're a turkish toilet :p

WTF is that supposed to mean. We're 100x more civilized than those Muslim bastards.

[maloon1990]

Q: What's the biggest difference between 9/11 and the Oklahoma City Bombing?

A: Foreigners once again prove they can do it better and more efficiently.

LOL HHAHAHAHAHA

[maloon1990]

Each year, the U.S. Census Bureau counts the number of "poor" persons in the U.S. In 2005, the Bureau found 37 million "poor" Americans. Presidential candidate John Edwards claims that these 37 million Americans currently "struggle with incredible poverty.

[vasil21]

New account but still the old coward.HE HE

Na skoro v uznia park bese otkrita edna bomba ot tezi godini izrodite ne znaeli 4e e tam dobre 4e ne e izbuhnala v blizost do nqkoe dete.

This is the real face of the "democrats"!

[preslavnedev]

Бугараш, откъде ги намираш тези кадри? ;-)))

Въпроса ми е по-скоро похвала, отколкото питане ;-)

[vasil21]

$79 000 debt per capita slave. No wonder poor trash colonists live with 1 euro per day.

€>$

dollar=toilet paper

TEE HEE

[vasil21]

The bombings were only an act of terror againts an almost defenceless foe who nevertheless almost screw the carrier of Churchill 30 years earliar so he wanted payback.

[SuperpowerAmerica]

Bulgaria GDP 30 billion

Bill gates wealth 60 billion

Bulgaria per capita income $5000

Poverty 50% live on 1 dollar a day.

Bulgaria economy depend on Child prostitution to rich EU countries.

Bulgaria ncie country, for sex tourists :D

No wonder these bulgarian poor trash people are begging everywhere ha ha

[stoyanfourn]

I am Bulgarian and I live on 50 dollars a day ... roughly. I'm not quite sure because the dollar is so unstable and falling down against the Euro all the time.

This is because I don't work too much. If I try to work hard I may earn even 100 to 150 dollars a day!

[Rocafile]

too bad for you then

[stoyanfourn]

Too bad for me what???

My comment was aimed at "SuperpowerAmerica".

I've been to the US and I don't have the slightest intention of going back there again.

We are Europeans after all.

I don't like Russia, but it doesn't mean I think the United States are the best country in the world!

[Rocafile]

y u talking 2 me for ? ya u have a life and ur bulgarian ok but dont fking bitch about it to me ok or maybe other ppl ur bytching ur bytchinG OK

[koz1n1]

[NikiGalabov]

@SuperpowerAmerica

You twisted brainwashed son of a bitch!!! Don't you dear insult my Nation again!!!

You forgot to mention one statistic in your comment. The Bulgarian Nation is one of the smartest in the world and the American is definately the stupidest!!!

[NikiGalabov]

@SuperpowerAmerica Hey SuperBrainwashedstupidAmerican shut up!!! I don't from where you have these statistics but there are fake! Bulgaria's economy does not rely on Child prostitution!!! And Bulgaria is poor yes here I agree with you but that is Because of USA's imperialism during the early 1990's when with the help of America several greedy bastards stole Bulgaria's riches...

[villanovakid84]

@NikiGalabov What riches did the USA loot from Bulgaria in the 1990's?

[changsifon]

@SuperpowerAmerica GO FUCK YOURSELF AMERICAN BITCH 9/11 WAS THE BEST DAY IN MY FUCKING LIFE AND I LOVE THIS DAY !!!

[Vandwo]

@SuperpowerAmerica What ever you say rich boy from the island where brother and sister having kids is so normal. Anyway the west thinks everything is material, spiritual of the human part is lost from decades there. So you will see with the time, how some other countries from asia will dominate in the economic and europe will be poor again. So don`t make your nest on materialism, befor 50years kids get what they want only on christmas, now they get it on the moment. What a spoiled generation.

[vasil21]

The bombings were only an act of terror againts an almost defenceless foe who nevertheless almost screw the carrier of Churchill 30 years earliar so he wanted payback.

[BulgarianSoldja]

Sofia got bombed but the allies suffered heavy casualties in the air and in the end the battle for the skies over Sofia was won by the Bulgarian airforce, just as all the battles we have fought and never lost since 1877.

[royaltyyy]

goddamn communism fucked our beautiful country up ... it destroyed the moral of the population ... the big part of the bulgarian intelligence flew after the fall of the iron curtain ... and as tahrpa already mentioned - whats left is a bunch of sheeps living in misery and some wolves exploiting the country ... pretty sad ...

[daskapita]

If communism fucked up Bulgaria, why did the "Bulgarian intelligence" flee AFTER the fall of the Iron Curtain? It's a non-sensical statement! Now you got beautiful Democracy, right? Enjoy

[BulgarianSoldja]

who da fuk are u ... some expert on communism or something ? u havent got a clue about Bulgaria and its history so shut up and dont try and tell us what fucked us up and that we have democracy

[nasocar]

mnogo dobro.stranno kak taka kakto nikoi ne se interesuvashe ot balgaria i dori ne ni znaeha kade se namirame na kartata,sega vijdam komentari samo ot chujdenci.mnogo jalko che nikoi ne e pisal. bugaria forever. P.S.nie nikoga ne osaznavame tova koeto imame,dokato ne go zagubim.

[datigotura]

Като кирилицата например? :)

[Bojcho07]

99% of the victims were children

[datigotura]

Actually the reason why Brits and US bombed Bulgaria is that bulgarian fighters attacked allied bombers which targer was Ploest/Romania/- Allieds did entered in bulgarian sky borders and A.Hitler forced Bulgaria to do so.

[NikiGalabov]

@datigotura

Of course Bulgaria attacked the bombers headed for Ploest. There were anemy planes entering the Bulgarian sky. They must be destroyed! Furthermore Bulgaria was part of the AXIS. Which means that Bulgaria had to help in the protection of the only sourse of oil to the Germans.

[Istilelife]

hah, na kraq se vijda mavzoleq ot visoko!

[gerry301]

Not familiar with this part of WWII. Why was Sophia bombed?

[bugarash]

Bulgaria joined the Axis in 1941. The country was at war with Britain and the US, which in 1943-1944 turned to be not as "symbolic" as the government thought it was.

[gerry301]

Thanks, after I made my comment I looked it up and it would appear Bulgaria got caught in the middle of WWII. How is Bulgaria doing today after the USSR collasped?

[bugarash]

Well, Bulgaria is now part of the European Union and NATO, so it has good prospects in front of her. At least I hope so.

[gerry301]

Well good luck and I wish Bulgaria peace and prosperity. You certainly deserve it.

[shashaveli]

For 3 months, after th 09.09.1944, Bulgaria was at war with the Axis, but still had no peace treaties whatsoever. It was at war with the Allies, the Axis, and the USSR at the same time.

[gerry301]

Yes, that is what I read. How's the beer in Bulgaria.

[shashaveli]

Very good but I am NOT sharing.

[gerry301]

Well, if we should meet in this life, I promise to buy. What are the popular brands? What is the climate in Sofia. Is it very cloudy? Cold?

[TaHrPa]

Yeah there were three major sides in WWII - The Allies, The Axis and Bulgaria :)

If I look at it historically I think Bulgaria died in that war. Now all that remains is the shadow of the "lion"

[gerry301]

From what I've read, Bulgaria has had its ups and downs throughout history. It would appear from what I've read it is ready to move forward again. So maybe I would disagree with you. Varna sounds like a nice place to live. Is it warm?

[TaHrPa]

You would disagree because all you hear about is the beautiful nature, the summer parties and the winter resorts. How about the junk on the streets, the increasing poverty and ignorance, the fact that the only thing you don't need to bribe someone for is probably breathing air. Before the WWII the leaders of the society were a great men, now there's no society at all, only a herd of sheep and a pack of wolves around them. And it's the criminal ignorance of the people to blame for that.

[gerry301]

Interesting, but is does not sound like it is ingrained in the Bulgarian people, so perhaps with a change in the economy and a less corrupt government things will get better. Don't blame the people who have to live thier lives as best they can. It is a government issue to provide the services needed to clean up the streets and end corruption.

[NikiGalabov]

@gerry301 Because we the Bulgarians were allies with the Germans and Japanese, we were part of the AXIS.

[gerry301]

@NikiGalabov I think it was more by outside pressure than any desire among the people. Most of what I have read shows Bulgaria trying its best to stay out of WWII. That must have been extremely difficult given the strategic location.

Hope things are getting much better now, especially in Hoskovo.
