Despite facing terrible odds, the Germans fought bravely to the end.

...the couch potatoes commenting here have no concept of these things.

Brainwashed. If Saddam was such a threat why did the UN (supported fully at the time by the US) only authorise military action to drive Saddam's troops from Kuwait in 91. Anyway, your troops are bogged down in a hopeless guerrilla war in Iraq that you simply can never even hope to win. No invading force has ever occupied Iraq or Afghanistan without getting their asses kicked out in the end.

I am Jewish, but respect the German soldiers as they were elite.

@trzcinarowice Who started the war?

[trzcinarowice]

@jahan77 Don't start war and you will not have to "fight bravely facing terrible odds".

[jahan77]

@trzcinarowice Why is that relevant to the rest of the world?

[trzcinarowice]

@jahan77 Did Poles or Norwegians attacked Germany ?

[jahan77]
