Prabhupada: ...two classes of men: the communist and the non-communist. Not exactly communist and capitalist, but communist and non-communist. Out of these two, the communists are going to be powerful. This is the world tendency. So if the world becomes full of communists, then the human civilization will be finished. All rogues and rascals, that's all. The American government wants to check this tendency. But they cannot check it if they remain "so-called trust in God." That will not be possible. So according to our proposition... Not only now, it is forever. Two classes of men are there: sura and asura. Surasura. Visnu-bhakto bhaved devah. Deva and sura, the same thing. Asuras tad viparyayah. And the asura, or the demons, godless. So if the Americans remain godless in the name of so-called trust in God, they will not be able to check this communistic movement. They will not be able. Now, if they are serious to check this communistic movement, save the American country as well as the whole world, then they must be very serious to understand what is God and what is trust in God. Otherwise this communistic movement will finish the civilized human society. So you are thoughtful. They must be very serious about it. And this is the only movement, Krsna consciousness, which can make all people actually trust in God and explain what is meant by God. Demons, they... If the communists are demons and the capitalists are also demons, fighting between demons, there will be war and loss of life, but nobody will come out victorious. That is going on. There is occasional world war, but the situation of the world remains the same. No party has become able to change the situation of the world.

Actually many german prioners did not return home well fed and looked after, as the narrator implied. 100,000's of them died of hunger and disease in american, french and soviet camps.

> after their countries were ravaged and raped.

Begging your pardon, but in the West, the Germans were subject to strict military discipline and did not "rape" at least not without experiencing the rigour of military justice if caught. Thousands of women were raped in Britain and France by the Americans - virtually all unpunished. In Germany, that figure would pale by comparison. Thousands of Italians civilians were raped and murdered by mainly French nigger soldiers in the Marocchinate.

Sorry to dissapoint you but D Day was one day later on June 6th

Let's not confuse the German prisoners who were taken by Russians to those who were taken by American and English troops......90% of the Germans taken by Russians did NOT survive. This was NOT the case in American and English POW camps. Don't lump us in with the Russians.

The million or so German Pow were delighted at being carpured. Especially during 1944 / 45. In one USA camp the going away G-POW held a party to say thank you.The clown said we 'Brits tortured on British soil our POW", My father in law was an escort on the QM, to the USA for them, and spoke of how delighted they were a free trip to the USA, proof of sorts 'none escaped, none tried to revolt and in the USA they were sent to farms, and left to do the job, most proved excleent workers and happy.

Eh? What inspired that outburst? He didn't mention Britain. I agree there is very little, if any, evidence that POW's were maltreated on UK soil (though it's likely a number were shot by British soldiers immediately after surrendering). But in what way do you imagine a POW's lot would be EVEN BETTER in the US? Waffles and maple syrup for breakfast, Coca cola on tap? Weekend breaks to Disney world perhaps? Americas treatment of many German POW's in world war 2 is not quite as noble as you imagine

[david page]

Hmm. It's rather disturbing that you use the term 'subhuman Russians' since that's exactly the term Hitler used. You obviously share a simliar word view.

[david page]

Well estimates vary, but it was probably many more than the figure you seem to have plucked out of thin air, and, as I said, a huge percentage were half dead from starvation and typhus before they surrendered. Atrocities are comitted by all side in war. But the sweeping generalisation that every soviet soldier was hell bent on revenge is unfactual and cliched propaganda from the cold war. It is also disrespectful to the countless soviet troops who didn't succumb to the temptation for revenge.

[SherwoodArrow]

Are you what we call Golly-Doo? Britain handled over one million German POW, only 2 died, both shot, one refused to stop- a man who just ran away, just 2 out of 1 million died, And every morning they had 2 eggs, bacon, sausages, tea, coffee, and 3 meals a day, I imagine in the Usa IT WAS EVEN BETTER.

My father in law was in the Military Police, served on the Queen Mary, took prisoners to NY, he said they were delighted to get away, most would have died on the Eastern front, and knew it. In my small village we had Germans wanrering freely, most went to the cinema. Which raises the question did they pay or get a free pass?
