You might think Japan struck the US of "its own free will", but Franklin D. Roosevelt practically invited them to attack by freezing all Japanese assets, cutting off trade, including oil. In those times there were no international bodies regulating the rules dealing with trade and finance because there weren't any international rules covering these things. Nor was it illegal for one state to attack another state, as it generally is today, when they were left with no other alternative.
@PrinceSamanti Are you another sucker who has bought into the Rommel myth. Rommel was a notorious self publicist who actively courted the media spotlight, however he was not that great a commander. His moves (usually a right hook to position his forces in the enemies rear) were predictable and often landed him in hot water. Example, at the start of the Gazala offensive he had to be saved by the Italians, or in the first battle of El Alamein, where he got ambushed by Montgomery.
Although his proposal for the army made up of eight panzer and four panzer-grenadier divisions, each made of three powerful brigades instead of two battle groups made up of three battalions as envisaged, were rejected at the time, a modified version of Manstein’s balanced force structure became standard within the German and British Armies by the 1970’s.
After the war, Manstein was instrumental in forging the new Bundeswehr, as might be expected from a man with as much proven experience. He criticized the proposed new army of 12 divisions based on the strength and structure of the old Wehrmacht as; “not expedient on military grounds, is inappropriate for political-military reasons, and pays insufficient attention to the possibility of political development”. >>
The high regard with which Rommel’s reputation is held nowadays is mainly due his noble character as man, as much as for his leadership ability. However, in the art of operational warfare, he is overshadowed by other Wehrmacht Generals. Notable among them is Erich von Manstein who had to contend with far greater enemy forces and solve infinitely more complex military problems. CONTINUED>>
@NazisArePigs Cyanide pill I think. Not quite sure. He was involved in the plot to remove Hitler from office but got caught. In exchange for his families safty he agreed to kill himself.
@Willis2992 Too bad he did not succeed in offing that scum Hitler.
Rommel was good man on the wrong side in a bad military. Somewhat over rated but a far better person than most of those Nazi butchers of innocent women and children.
BEWARE! a troll whose main account @slizzler1 is attempting to hijack the comments section of this video in order to thwart YOUR RIGHT to express your own point of view, whatever it may be. His numerous sock and impersonation accounts listed
I think Neo Nazis who live in former Allied countries and benefit from such a luxury should at the very least be stripped of their citizenship and deported for the crime of being the worst sort of ungrateful cunts I can imagine.
All of their worldly goods and wealth sold off with the proceeds donated to charity.
Possibly forced sterilization as well would be in the best interests of the world.
Rommel's great victory over the British and Commonwealth forces who outnumbered him at Battle of Gazala, and the thrashing he gave the Americans at the Battle of the Kasserine will be what Rommel is remembered for.
Yes but we still love him for his defeats in north Africa and Europe as well as for his personal defeat of being forced to commit suicide by Hitler to save his family from being murdered.
A true Nazi Loser if there ever was one. I mean a German General who conducted himself with honor and was ordered to die by his Fuhrer?
Can't get more loser than that can you?
"Swiftresurgence" uh you know this was all 70 years ago right?
its a pity honorable men like him had to suffer and to commit suicide because of a faggot called hitler. This general was a soldier, who tried everything to keep the war as acceptable as possible, for his men and enemies. This is based on books of other generals, and orders he gave. I just say, remember the men, call them russians, germans, english or american, they had to spend their lifes because of an austrian gone mad, and dozens of brainmonkeys following him.. Poor world
When will people learn, ALL Dictators are evil, The Nazis were very evil, as the Japs, look what they did to the countries the took. Look at the Middle EAST Dictators, what are doing. Yet we have not properly educated, Liberals who hate America. America is a Light for world the world.To see the truth.
A great captain but vastly over-rated as a general. His reputation is derived from acts of recklessness against incompetent or poorly equipped enemies. He never did much against a well equipped and even semi competent foe.
His victory at Gazala for example, can only be attributed to Ritchie's egregious failure to do pretty much anything at all while the Afrika Corps were trapped in the Cauldron. Probably one of the best examples ever of snatching defeat from the gaping maw of outright victory.
You are aware that America, provoked and did everything in their power to enter the war, right? "Destructive time in German history". Don't make me laugh, your country, run by the Jews are the most destructive and disgusting country ever in history.
@NellaN1337 --No the Americans are not aware. They (we) have been spoon fed bullshit and love every minute of it. Most Americans dont even believe that Truman was a war criminal.
@NellaN1337 WW1, a U-Boat attacked the Lusitania as it was secretly transporting 6 million pounds of artillery shells and rifle ammunition, as well as other explosives on behalf of the Zionist JPMorgan banking corporation to help their clients, Britain and France. It was against US laws to transport war materials and passengers in the same ship. You see this is all being done in the name of the US citizens when they really don't give a fuck. WW2 same thing...
@NellaN1337 America wanted to enter the war to aid it's allies so whats harmful about that, and him saying "during a destructive time in German history" is absolutely right? why do get angry about a fact, your obviously protecting nazi germany, and implying that you dont like jews, and calling a nation disgusting is just dumb, haters gonna hate.
@NellaN1337 America knew war was coming with Japan I will agree on that and that the US government preferred if Japan struck first which they did at Pearl Harbor and across the Pacific. Japan started the war with the US of it's own free will, then Germany followed suit by openly declaring war on the US. It had nothing to do with Jews or "jealous of American freedom". And the fact you're blaming Jews as a scapegoat just like the Nazis and other ignorant organizations proves how little you know.
@USSRman45 Thank God! Finally another person on youtube who knows what they are talking about. I couldn't agree more with that last sentence. NellaN1337 is little more than an ignorant uneducated fuck who blames others for his own issues. You're one of the few people on youtube who has common sense.
So much text yet you did not tell me why Japan "started the war", that is what is most interesting. You are ignorant or intentionally ignoring key events. See what the Jew Benjamin H. Freedman has to say about the Jews and WW2, or even your hero General Patton.
I didn't pay attention to your username, so scratch the last part about Patton being your hero. Your heroes were all murderering Jews, Kaganovich, Trotsky, Yagoda etc. Which leads me to believe that you yourself is a Jew.
@NellaN1337 Just because my choice of government is reflected in my name doesn't mean I worship murderers like Stalin, if any of them were my heroes it would probably just be Lenin. No I am not Jewish and why would it matter? Yet again you steer the conversation towards race and not the subject at hand, you seem to just be searching for a way out.
@NellaN1337 As for why Japan attacked Pearl it was to neutralize the Pacific Fleet and secure their flank in the Pacific so they could advance into Malaya and the East Indies to acquire natural resources such as rubber and oil which is the same reason they attacked China and the majority of coastal Asia. In response the US cut off Japan's access to US oil which Japan relied on heavily so you could argue this triggered an attack by the Japanese who saw this act as hostile.
"In response the US cut off Japan's access to US oil which Japan relied on heavily so you could argue this triggered an attack by the Japanese who saw this act as hostile."
There you have it, and that's far from being the only reason. America did everything in its power to enter the war even though they were not under any threat from anyone and no one was gonna attack them either.
@NellaN1337 That doesn't prove a thing about America wanting to enter the war. Do you have any idea how much of an isolationist country the US was after the First World War? They wanted nothing but to avoid another all out war and did what was in the power of peace to prevent war. The Japanese were rampaging across Asia and the Pacific murdering millions of innocent people and you expect any country to sit back and watch? US imposed sanctions against Japan and they attacked and started the war.
"US imposed sanctions against Japan and they attacked and started the war."
Study history please, you're wasting my time repeating nonsense. That was not the only reason Japan attacked.
"they wanted nothing but to avoid another all out war and did what was in the power of peace to prevent war."
The people sure wanted to stay out, which is why they didn't declare war, but did everything else in their power to provoke an attack, and not just by imposing sanctions.
@NellaN1337 In any case it doesn't change the fact Japan attacked first and " awoken a sleeping giant." Nor was it America's fault Nazi Germany declared war on them which I'm sure would have happened anyway. The fact is these two countries started a world war and reaped what they sowed in the end and have no one to blame but themselves for the outcome. And the Holocaust is not laughable it did happen and Hitler was responsible for this sin against Humanity, you make me sick.
"Nazi Germany declared war on them which I'm sure would have happened anyway."
And I'm sure Ghana would've declared war and beat Germany had they come out victorious. Your assumptions are worthless.
"these two countries started a world war and reaped what they sowed in the end"
Even if they were responsible for the world war, which they were not, is that supposed to justify Dresden and the many other crimes committed by the allies? Spoken like a true Communist.
"it did happen and Hitler was responsible for this sin against Humanity, you make me sick."
Oh wow, you convinced me there! No need for physical evidence, or any credible evidence whatsoever.
It's funny though, the bolshevik Jews, which you clearly support committed FAR worse crimes against humanity than the supposed holocaust and there is physical evidence to back that up. Does that make you sick too or is that okay as long as goyims are the only ones hurt?
@NellaN1337 Physical evidence? Are you ignorant or just stupid? The Nazis set up nearly 15,000 camps in occupied countries, had SS death squads rounding up people on the street and massacring them in mass graves. Auschwitz, Bełżec, Sobibor, Warsaw, Trebinka millions murdered. They found trains loaded with corpses, mass graves, gas chambers, crematoriums filled with ashes. Nazis were put on trial for war crimes against humanity in Nuremberg. That enough evidence?
There's no denying that people died, especially during the end of the war due to the allies aggression, but 6 million Jews? Not even close. 200k tops, nothing compared to that of the racist Jews ruling Russia, starving millions of Ukrainians to death, gulags etc etc.
@NellaN1337 And yes the Soviets were just as bad as Hitler. Stalin sent millions of his own people to death as enemies of the state and put them into his gulags. Genocide is not just a Nazi or Soviet crime it's still going on today in Africa and the Middle East. You're obviously just a racist bigot with no knowledge of the Second World War or any history other than hate and racism. Do everyone here a favor and keep your baseless, idiotic racist rants to yourself.
I never said national socialism didn't work as a government it did work and worked well however the Nazi's went beyond national socialism. A good example of this is Spain. They were a fascist country until 1975 and worked well until the people felt it was time to move beyond that. You didn't see Spain murdering millions of innocent people.
@USSRman45 I fully agree with you. Finally someone educated & intelligent tells this morally repulsive idiot "NellaN1337" what a huge fool he is. There's a reason why (ever since they have free access to unbiased information) 99% of all Germans are ashamed of their role in WWII (despite their great military achievements), and why Russians, Brits and Americans are proud of theirs. I have read "Mein Kampf", and therefore know Hitler planned both the holocaust and the war.
@456isinthemix There are plenty of Germans who fought against Hitler and his madness like Claus von Stauffenberg and others who spoke out. Also many Germans in the Wermacht fought for Germany not Hitler and should be proud of their service like any other soldier but thanks for the support. People like this Nella are the real scum of Humanity and need to be put down wherever they are.
@NellaN1337 Actually you'll find Germany is much happier under democratic rule and their economy proves it, they are the envy of Europe if not the majority of the world at this point in time.
@NellaN1337 To me pure communism can and never will never work it's just human nature. The people in charge at first may have pure intentions at first but over time that government becomes corrupt and abuses its power and this is true of any form of government including national socialism, democracy and communism.
@NellaN1337 If anything I'm more of a democratic socialist. The government should have a say in key areas like key industries, financial and natural resources that should be government controlled and monitored but shouldn't deny the people the right to own property, hold free elections or to improve their own standing in life. There needs to be a balance of freedom and control.
Shows just how fucking stupid you are. The truth is censored in Germany, they do not have access to Mein Kampf, they are facing jail time if they decide to study and find questionable things about the holocau$t.
"have read "Mein Kampf", and therefore know Hitler planned both the holocaust and the war."
Please quote a piece that makes you so sure that 6 million jews were gassed, cause I doubt you read it.
@NellaN1337 You realize you have anti-Semitism written all over yourself right? Also Germany screwed themselves over twice and in both World Wars. Racism and anti-Semitisim are very unbecoming, especially when taken to extremes. In reply to your statement: "NUTS". The 101st Airborne Div. said that in response to the German surrender demand and explained: "In plain English it means 'Go to hell.' "
No, that is to be expected from someone that has been thought to shout anti-semitism any time Jews are criticised. I don't expect much from sheeple like yourself.
@NellaN1337 "sheeple"? Is that the best insult you got? A public school prig could do better than you. Also there's a clear-cut difference between criticising and biggotry. And your previous comment was the latter, you dumbass.
I'm sorry, you're going to have to explain this one to me... naive as I am I thought it was Hitler who took advantage of the oppressed economy, the feeling of shame by the German people after WW1 and the treaty of Versailles, to take power and attempt to take over the world? Meanwhile, one of America's biggest shames was waiting so long to enter the war and the damage this caused to Europe and the Jewish people who we had a really good idea were being eradicated...
Clearly you need to brush up on your history and stay away from History Channel.
"attempt to take over the world"
Really? Really? He wanted the territories that belonged to Germany that was taken from them after ww1 and the Germans in said territories were being oppressed and in some places, even slaughtered.(cont)
"Jewish people who we had a really good idea were being eradicated..."
If you actually study history with common sense and logic then you'll find the so called holocau$t laughable. Besides, Hitler offered the Jews to other countries, but no one would take them, including America.
The allies were behind the real holocausts of ww2, such as holodomor, katyn massacre, dresden etc, but you won't hear about that because the victors write the history.
@NellaN1337 Roosevent wanted to enter the war, but couldn't (until Pearl Harbor was attacked) as American people & elites were reluctant to do so. "Did everything in their power"? A simple declaration of war would've been enough to enter the war, and congress always had that "power"! "Run by jews"? Senate/Congress majority, past & present, was/is Christian, same goes for presidents (except the agnostic/atheist founding fathers, who nonetheless followed Christian values). MORON

Rommel was the epitome of the warrior-knight gentleman. For this reason Hitler allowed him to commit suicide. For the other plotters allied with Von Stauffenberg- they were hung slowly on meat hooks with piano wire while being recorded on 8mm Afga film for the Fuehrer to view whilst eating his late night sandwiches.
@IanHunedoara8 Incorrect, I firmly believe. Von Stauffenberg was also a "warrior-knight gentleman" (being a Count, an officer & serving honourably in the war indicates this), but he was brutally treated too, with all of his extended family wiped out. There were others too. The only reason Rommel was granted this grace was b/c the Reich had rightly built him up into a national war hero based on his famous exploits, & as a result would've been undermined had they murdered him.

A fetish for kids raised on the internet and white trash looking for someone to blame for their FAILURES.
@vTHExUNKNOWENv Hitler was NOT "Great"! He was a monster, long before he started WW2! He opened the first concentration camp within a month of becoming Chancellor in 1933, & his persecution & purging of any & all who said "no" to him & evil tactics started immediately, not just with the "Final Solution" (witness the "night of Long Knives", 1934). Hitler's economic "success" was based on the measures put in place by the Weimar Republic, which bore fruit after 1933.
@vMysteriousOnev1 You're a complete idiot! And every else who echoes your stupid comment is too! In case you forgot: Hitler lost the war so badly, that "his Reich" not only failed to win any "lebensraum", it lost 1/3 of its land that had been German for 1000 years before him; as well as that he managed to get Germany's cities devastated, milllions of German soldiers & civilians killed (& many more displaced), & Germany's once-honorable name stained forever. Hitler = LOSER!!!
@vTHExUNKNOWENv OK then, quite simply, if you offered the same "Heil Hitler" that "vMysteriousOnev1" did (judging by ur comment "Wat mistery said"), then my response is "Ditto", ie the same response I gave to him I give to you.
I'm 18 and I love learning about WW1 and WW2 and anything of the past, but it seems like kids my age would not like to discuss anything to do with WW2. Every time I refer something to WW2, they look at me in puzzlement. I have yet to meet another teen that has any knowledge of WW2. Most popular audiences of these history videos are 35-64 yo, so are today's younger generation much less aware of history or perhaps they have better things to do such as facebook and I'm just dwelling in the past...
It gets better with age. I'm 26 and I've always been very, very into WW2. I remember as a young teen being interested in German military history, and when I broke the age-old taboo and spoke positively of the German military among my peers they would either acuse me of Nazi sympathies or look at me like I was crazy. As men grow older, their interests change and many, many men develop a keen interest in military history. Now the conversations come very frequently.
@levierdragon buddy 98734598734 is right, hell im only a year older than you but me and my roomate discuss military history and tatics every other day. if you have any interesting ideas how rommel could have won north africa or maybe von manstein at kursk, guedarian maybe losing to the french, i for one would love to hear i the opinion
@alerommel1 True.Gustav and Gotic line are the best defended fronts during ww2.Allies couldnt break them till the end of the war.Kesselring was a great defensive tactician.Walter Model was also a gret general.
@SuperBradva Yes, honorable mentions should also be made for Hans Hube, the man who helped German Forces defend Messina and evacuate Sicily, and Hasso von Manteuffell, the guy who penetrated the Allied forces during the Ardennes counter-attack, on winter of 1944.
@xtrmsprts LOL! Who are you reffering to as pizza-fuckers? Manteuffell and Hube? And why do you call them Germany's allies? They were part of the German army, they weren't "allies"? Plus, every general has made mistakes. Even Erwin Rommel. When the allies wanted to disembarc on Normandy, Rommel left the front because on June 6th there was sea ebb, and he thought that Eisenhower would choose a day with flow instead of ebb. Rommel wasn't experienced on sea operations. and thus he made a mistake
@xtrmsprts Don't blame the Italians for Hitler's mistakes. Yes, 1/2 of the Italian Army was disaffected & utterly useless (being also mostly conscripts fighting an unpopular war didn't help), & their political leadership was crap. However, Hitler made spectacular blunders that were regarded as such at the time, and which had drastic consequences (like fighting not just a 2 front war, but a 3-front (& even 4-front if we include the Atlantic) war!). He did a good enough job by himself!
@AliceNchainz011 The Nazi Government was the legitimate authority of Germany between the years 1933-45. As such, its military performed its duty as did those of other nations. Just because Germany lost WWII does not de-legitimise its military personnel. At present The US military is in the process of going down to defeat and discredit in Afghanistan. You could equally say the US Army is a tool of America's ideology of exceptionalism.
@DirtyLittleAngelEyes "You could equally say the US Army is a tool of America's ideology of exceptionalism"
No shit. That being said, *all* people regardless of nationality who blindly go into war and believe what their leaders say, are fools. Nationalism is a poor substitute for intelligence.
@AliceNchainz011 Wow, the last part "Nationalism is a poor substitute for intelligence." was very nicely put, thumbs up to you! :-) Hope you dont mind, but im gonna quote on you for that one.
"Nationalism is a poor substitute for intelligence."
Is that right. Nationalism worked wonders for the citizens of the Roman Empire. If it wasn't for their achievement of spreading civilisation to the rude barbarians they'd probably be still wearing animal skins and making grunting sounds. Fascism is humanities highest political achievement, and no amount of Zionist inspired obfuscation will change that. Now go back to sleep sucker.
@DirtyLittleAngelEyes I don't see how the Roman Empire was nationalist. Do you know what the word nation means? They were in many ways the United States of their time with regards to Roman citizenship being given independent of nationality.
Fascism is a control-freak ideology, similar to politicized religions such as the inquisitors of the past and the mujahideens of the present. Noticably it is anti-intellectual, which is no wonder seeing as education is what makes people think.
@DirtyLittleAngelEyes Wrong. The "rude barbarians" you speak of, were the Celts & others who already had their own civilisations & technology. As an example, the Celts were so renowned as warriors, that the romans copied their shields, their long swords, their helmets & their chainmail, & as soon as the Gauls were defeated they were (forcibly) enlisted in the roman army. Also, Celtic metalwork was superior to that of the Romans & almost everyone else for hundreds of years.
@SuperBradva Take it easy, man.I wrote it with a great part of sarcasm.Certainly , Zhukov was a motherfucker who has sunk Germans in the Soviet blood.This ''strategist'' ordered retreating soldiers in 1941 to turn back on 180 degrees and attack Germans .Those who didn't want to do this were shot as deserters .Concerning Rommel....well, what he has done in Northern Africa is fascinating .It's a pity that he has lost.
@lithuanianhussar Then sorry man.Walter Model crushed well shitty Zhukov in Rzev operation and soviets always hided that after ww2 presenting it as an "insignificant" battle while it was a very big battle and a devastating defeat for soviets.Model was a fantastic general on both fronts but Rommel is my favorite.
@SuperBradva There was a real massacre in Rzev.Motherfucker ordered cavalry to attack Germans wave by wave . 500 went on machine guns and were killed , then next , next....
@SuperBradva In the end they were all losers but Rommel was my favorite loser. Losing in North Africa and Europe then forced to suicide to save his family.
His story sums up the loser Nazi ideology perfectly.
@NazisArePigs Only you are loser here commie fuck.Rommel is not a nazi and you are making fool of yourself here.German commanders were the BEST and you piss off...Wüstenfuchs über alles!!!

not censored for Germany? WOW! thats good, Germans should know see and know there past, not the propaganda that is being told in there schools and the pointless banning of nazi content
@TheAspersionCaste Shows what they know. And don't go off on one that German commanders were "just that good". Pound for pound the same as the Allies, at most.
@MrStig691 The greatest German commander of WWII in the estimation of the Germans themselves was Erich von Manstein. Neither Eisenhower, Montgomery nor Patton were his equal for the planning of major operations and campaigns. For mastery of operational warfare his only real rival was Marshal Zhukov of the Soviet Union. However on the other hand, the Germans never produced a grand strategist of the calibre of Field Marshal Alan Brooke or General George C. Marshall.
@TheAspersionCaste That's partly because Hitler was in charge, & amidst his delusions of grandeur & paranoia he either sacked or killed any General that wasn't a footstool. That being said, Albert Speer was a superb organiser (albeit non-military), & was probably the genius behind the German war machine that kept it going for as long as it did. Also, I think that the western allies were hampered by personal & political rivalries b/n the Brits & Yanks.
A true Horror and Tragedy that so many Europeans were killed in World Wars I and II.
Think what might have been, if Europe had peace in the twentieth century. Just think of the family lines destroyed needlessly (e.g. Rudyard Kipling's only son).
World War I never should have happened ... and if it hadn't there never would have been a World War II.
@sonnylatchstring : I think perhaps you need to bone-up on your history, pal. Read it, & you'll find that Rommel was a soldier with chivalry. Especially against the Aussies in the Western Desert. Moreover .. he turned against that monster Hitler in 1944, & died for it. A true German Patriot & a Hero. Damn, it's annoying coming across youngsters who don't know what the hell they're trying to talk about ... even if you happen to be jewish ...
@sonnylatchstring As that guy said, Rommel obeyed to Hitler because he was the leader of the German Nation, not because he was the leader of the Nazi Party. Rommel, and a lot of Wehrmacht's generals, were just people on their duty, they weren't criminals of war. Rommel, while he didn't know about Stauffenberg's 20th July attempt, wanted to participate in an attempt to arrest Hitler. At the end he was killed by Hitler, for his connection with the conspirators.
@sonnylatchstring Also, in any war, it's hard to find an army that never commited crimes. The Allied Forces did a lot of awful actions as well. Examples: the attack on Mers-el-Kebir, the Laconia Incident, the bombardment of Dresden. Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Katyn massacre (despite all the controversy about the latter one, on who it was exactly) etc.
@DioStudent That's also true. I remember having seen in a documentary a few years ago, the two daughters of a German family were raped by Russian soldiers, and the desperate mother wanted them to commit suicide, by falling from the roof, because the family was dishonored. Tragic images caused only by war.
Everybody who knows about warhistory,talks about Rommel,with respect!
And i have been talked to some veterans who was POW. They also talked about Rommel,with respect.And; Why do you think The Biography of Rommel,was written by a former britsh Colonel!
Even now he maybe would capture the whole French again with his panzer commanding skills.

Rommel is probably one of the most honorable military men of history.
He fought for Germany, not for Hitler. Rommel refused orders to murder Jews and other minorities captured during the North Africa campaign.

The high regard with which Rommel’s reputation is held nowadays is mainly due his noble character as man, as much as for his leadership ability. However, in the art of operational warfare, he is overshadowed by other Wehrmacht Generals. Notable among them is Erich von Manstein who had to contend with far greater enemy forces and solve infinitely more complex military problems. CONTINUED>>

A great captain but vastly over-rated as a general. His reputation is derived from acts of recklessness against incompetent or poorly equipped enemies. He never did much against a well equipped and even semi competent foe.
His victory at Gazala for example, can only be attributed to Ritchie's egregious failure to do pretty much anything at all while the Afrika Corps were trapped in the Cauldron. Probably one of the best examples ever of snatching defeat from the gaping maw of outright victory.

@NellaN1337 As for why Japan attacked Pearl it was to neutralize the Pacific Fleet and secure their flank in the Pacific so they could advance into Malaya and the East Indies to acquire natural resources such as rubber and oil which is the same reason they attacked China and the majority of coastal Asia. In response the US cut off Japan's access to US oil which Japan relied on heavily so you could argue this triggered an attack by the Japanese who saw this act as hostile.

Rommel was the epitome of the warrior-knight gentleman. For this reason Hitler allowed him to commit suicide.

@IanHunedoara8 Incorrect, I firmly believe. Von Stauffenberg was also a "warrior-knight gentleman" (being a Count, an officer & serving honourably in the war indicates this), but he was brutally treated too, with all of his extended family wiped out. There were others too. The only reason Rommel was granted this grace was b/c the Reich had rightly built him up into a national war hero based on his famous exploits, & as a result would've been undermined had they murdered him.

@AliceNchainz011 The Nazi Government was the legitimate authority of Germany between the years 1933-45. As such, its military performed its duty as did those of other nations. Just because Germany lost WWII does not de-legitimise its military personnel. At present The US military is in the process of going down to defeat and discredit in Afghanistan. You could equally say the US Army is a tool of America's ideology of exceptionalism.

No shit. That being said, *all* people regardless of nationality who blindly go into war and believe what their leaders say, are fools. Nationalism is a poor substitute for intelligence.

"Nationalism is a poor substitute for intelligence."
Is that right. Nationalism worked wonders for the citizens of the Roman Empire. If it wasn't for their achievement of spreading civilisation to the rude barbarians they'd probably be still wearing animal skins and making grunting sounds. Fascism is humanities highest political achievement, and no amount of Zionist inspired obfuscation will change that. Now go back to sleep sucker.

@DirtyLittleAngelEyes I don't see how the Roman Empire was nationalist. Do you know what the word nation means? They were in many ways the United States of their time with regards to Roman citizenship being given independent of nationality.
Fascism is a control-freak ideology, similar to politicized religions such as the inquisitors of the past and the mujahideens of the present. Noticably it is anti-intellectual, which is no wonder seeing as education is what makes people think.

@DirtyLittleAngelEyes Yup. that is right...you simple minded peon
AliceNchainz011 1 month ago
@DirtyLittleAngelEyes Wrong. The "rude barbarians" you speak of, were the Celts & others who already had their own civilisations & technology. As an example, the Celts were so renowned as warriors, that the romans copied their shields, their long swords, their helmets & their chainmail, & as soon as the Gauls were defeated they were (forcibly) enlisted in the roman army. Also, Celtic metalwork was superior to that of the Romans & almost everyone else for hundreds of years.

@SuperBradva Take it easy, man.I wrote it with a great part of sarcasm.Certainly , Zhukov was a motherfucker who has sunk Germans in the Soviet blood.This ''strategist'' ordered retreating soldiers in 1941 to turn back on 180 degrees and attack Germans .Those who didn't want to do this were shot as deserters .Concerning Rommel....well, what he has done in Northern Africa is fascinating .It's a pity that he has lost.

@lithuanianhussar Then sorry man.Walter Model crushed well shitty Zhukov in Rzev operation and soviets always hided that after ww2 presenting it as an "insignificant" battle while it was a very big battle and a devastating defeat for soviets.Model was a fantastic general on both fronts but Rommel is my favorite.

@TheAspersionCaste Shows what they know. And don't go off on one that German commanders were "just that good". Pound for pound the same as the Allies, at most.
MrStig691 1 month ago
@MrStig691 The greatest German commander of WWII in the estimation of the Germans themselves was Erich von Manstein. Neither Eisenhower, Montgomery nor Patton were his equal for the planning of major operations and campaigns. For mastery of operational warfare his only real rival was Marshal Zhukov of the Soviet Union. However on the other hand, the Germans never produced a grand strategist of the calibre of Field Marshal Alan Brooke or General George C. Marshall.
TheAspersionCaste 1 month ago
@TheAspersionCaste That's partly because Hitler was in charge, & amidst his delusions of grandeur & paranoia he either sacked or killed any General that wasn't a footstool. That being said, Albert Speer was a superb organiser (albeit non-military), & was probably the genius behind the German war machine that kept it going for as long as it did. Also, I think that the western allies were hampered by personal & political rivalries b/n the Brits & Yanks.

A true Horror and Tragedy that so many Europeans were killed in World Wars I and II.
Think what might have been, if Europe had peace in the twentieth century. Just think of the family lines destroyed needlessly (e.g. Rudyard Kipling's only son).
World War I never should have happened ... and if it hadn't there never would have been a World War II.

@sonnylatchstring : I think perhaps you need to bone-up on your history, pal. Read it, & you'll find that Rommel was a soldier with chivalry. Especially against the Aussies in the Western Desert. Moreover .. he turned against that monster Hitler in 1944, & died for it. A true German Patriot & a Hero. Damn, it's annoying coming across youngsters who don't know what the hell they're trying to talk about ... even if you happen to be jewish ...

@colindominy I have totaly no respect for the German WW2 war machine, Rommel included, although being German myself by birth.
sonnylatchstring 4 weeks ago
@sonnylatchstring As that guy said, Rommel obeyed to Hitler because he was the leader of the German Nation, not because he was the leader of the Nazi Party. Rommel, and a lot of Wehrmacht's generals, were just people on their duty, they weren't criminals of war. Rommel, while he didn't know about Stauffenberg's 20th July attempt, wanted to participate in an attempt to arrest Hitler. At the end he was killed by Hitler, for his connection with the conspirators.

@alerommel1 Befehl ist befehl. I hate appreciation for any "nobel" aggressor whether his name is Rommel or Freiherr von Richthofen.
sonnylatchstring 4 weeks ago
@sonnylatchstring Also, in any war, it's hard to find an army that never commited crimes. The Allied Forces did a lot of awful actions as well. Examples: the attack on Mers-el-Kebir, the Laconia Incident, the bombardment of Dresden. Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Katyn massacre (despite all the controversy about the latter one, on who it was exactly) etc.

@DioStudent That's also true. I remember having seen in a documentary a few years ago, the two daughters of a German family were raped by Russian soldiers, and the desperate mother wanted them to commit suicide, by falling from the roof, because the family was dishonored. Tragic images caused only by war.
