Chloe7829, let me be the first to disabuse you of the notion that Americans sent ANYBODY ANYWHERE as a slave laborer. On the contrary, they LIBERATED many slave labor camps, freeing the prisoners from torture, starvation and murderers. I don't know what kind of tale your wife's cousin told but I seriously doubt its veracity. Rheinwiesenlager or "meadow camps" were temporary and were packed with so many who surrendered that he might have missed a few meals, but that's about all.

3Sleipnir...I lived my entire life until the day he died with an American soldier who was at Aachen, Hurtgen Forest and Bastogne. He was my Father. You have a severely distorted understanding of history. Yes, many Americans died in the Battle of the Bulge, but in the end they routed some of Hitlers best troops and prevented the taking of the port of Antwerp. HItler, who was truly insane even sent boys to die for his warped cause. I suppose he's your hero. What a role model.

@jrobertsoneff burned down churches? marry your cousin idk who that is but the mug you in the streets sounds like niggers haha or the european equivelent of niggers aka gypsies lol

[jrobertsoneff]

@MRFCKJEWTUBE Its not the jews that want you to marry your cousin , or burn down your churches ,or mug you in the street .Not that im a zionist but i just want put the record strayt.

[MRFCKJEWTUBE]

@jrobertsoneff And we could have stayed out of it too and people say we had to get involved because hitler had plans to take over america, I say so what with rights given to people by the second amendment to own guns i highly doubt he would have had any success at all, any success here that is. He would have had much success in europe, heck he would probably have all of europe. Only one plus side and one downside to that 1 it would be jew free(always good thing) but they would come and ruin USA

@MRFCKJEWTUBE Theser days in britain i doubt anyone would notice if their were nazis ,as long as they never spoke german.But i think your right the brits dont like to admit the yanks bailed them out in ww2.

[MRFCKJEWTUBE]

@jrobertsoneff You know the funny thing about you stupid brits? You hate us for getting involved but in WWII you wanted us to get involved. We should have let Europe rot, all they do is complain, bitch, and moan about how America sucks and everything. If it were not for us getting involved, Hitler would have continued slapping you with his fat Nazi cock and the rest of Europe as well, for that matter. Heck, his great grandsons would be slapping you with theirs probably.

@MRFCKJEWTUBE Its not races or countrys that are guilty of war crimes ,thats what nazis believed.Its individuals or governments

@porty500 Old and common story.

[porty500]

@historatia My uncle told me a story about Dday well some days later, he was part of 6th airborne and they had 63 POWs (mostly staff officers and thier aides) to take back to HQ. They gave them to a passing US MP unit and radiod ahead to say thay were coming and to expect 63 prisoners for interrogation.

16 made it to HQ. The rest apparrently, according to the MPs had made an escape attempt and were machine gunned in the process.. No formal investigation took place.

@s6u6r6f6 Germans should be glad that they are set in stone. Because those records do NOT hold up what you assume they say. I'm a stickler on "original sources", and read both German and Russian, and have been in the documentation centres in Washington, Berlin and Moscow. You should try it. Then, when it comes to your "genocide" claim, try matching the records against the Aucshwitz death books (most of the records are in Moscow) and the corroborating Red Cross data of camp reports opened 2004...

[historatia]

@porty500 ... From those (take pre-surrender) taken and registered almost 98% made it and most of the rest are accounted for from deaths from wounds, etc. Of those taken on the battlefield just over 10% never made it to the registration of POW's, in other words "murdered along the way".
