Some 950 were killed at Rotterdam. Not 30.000.

[ShortCardinalsFan262]

@AmersfoortTristan True but i dont think they knew that at the time, they were relying on accounts from the dutch government, who I'm sure was using the 30,000 as a propaganda to raise men for the Dutch resistance

[RepublicanNatio]

holy shit rotterdam got bombed to smithereens.

[jimmy27paul]

@RepublicanNatio Later it came that they bombed it accidentily, they didnt get their orders in time.

[HotelLambert]

US propaganda at its best?!?! It's not far from what we learn at the history lessons in Europe and various places like the remains of the death camps are in fact a proof that there were two worlds at that time

[djlagomorph]

Hear, hear!

[ShortCardinalsFan262]

have u noticed tat all the god beliving countries have been the most successful countries/nations ever? USA? Russia? Britian? France?

[naltrexone23X]

@ShortCardinalsFan262 ...Bolivia , Guatemala, Honduras? All god fearing and dirt poor. Great Britain and France and the western world would not exist today had it not been for Ancient Greece and Rome, which were ironically non-monotheistic cultures with "pagan" gods.

@ShortCardinalsFan262 Nazi germany?

Technically yes. The bombers were already in the air heading for the city when the city surrendered. The Germans on the ground used flairs to try to stop the attack but only 33 of the 90 bombers saw the flairs.

[orgelheinz]

very interesting, where is this information from? it is not the official view that ist taught in germany... but i believe it. interesting, how much propaganda like this is beeing told to be truth.

Well they were never going to say:

bold, daring, powerfull, clever,

They were going to say.

Cowardly, sneaky, 5th columist's, and above all evil.

[ShortCardinalsFan262]

it was an informational film shown to US troops during the war.

[sjgeraci]

Technically yes. The surrender happened while the bombers were in the air heading towards the city. The Germans on the ground used flairs to signal the bombers to cancel the attack but only 33 of the 90 saw the signal.

[aribenzane]

Ah so it was an accident.

[aribenzane]

Is it true that they bombed Rotterdam after the surrender?

[sjgeraci]

Technically yes. The surrender happened after the bombers were in the air. The Germans on the ground used flairs to signal the bombers to stop but just 33 of the 90 bombers saw the flairs and aborted the attack.

so terrible....sad
