@bogdanfv1 i think you mean madmen

@MrName1ess @mecallahan1 @Elberiver11

I usually hate to interfeer in this kinds of arguements but neither of you are right. Yes what Hitler did was shocking, it was cruel, it was against everything saint. But you have to remember that not all germans took arms, but all of them payed the price, do not judge a nation by the madness of it's leaders. The cost of human lives was great on both sides of the war, lot's of innocent civilians and tons of young men sent to war because of a madman...

@Elberiver11 Who was it that bombed Warsaw? Who was it that Bombed Rotterdam

after the Dutch surrendered? Bomb one would not have fallen on Germany if they

had not started the war. They sewed the wind and reaped the whirlwind, in this case

delivered by lancaster bombers. Hitler is the one who called down the fire from the sky

and the whole German people suffered for it.

@Elberiver11 lol you're an idiot. Learn to type before you try and sound informed. Troll fail.

[Elberiver11]

@Hitchiest yes, the allies were on the side of the angels, hahaha

So what benefit do you expect from insulting the massgraves of children and women, by accusing them of being the "devil"? Who believes your lies? lol

Well, you are not first grandson of a murderer who tries to whitewash his grandfather's crimes by massacring thousands of innocent children and women. So how can children and their mothers be the "devil"? What a sick person you must be.

[Elberiver11]

@Hitchiest It was England who started bombing German civilians on May 10th 1940. Notice the Germans tried peace negotiations to stop the killing on both sides - but your "hero" could not wait to kill even more children. Finally, after Churchill kept massacring innocents, the Germans bombed back, over a quarter year later.

You American and British people should stop lying about who actually wanted this war.

[Hitchiest]

@Elberiver11 Bombing Germany was critical to destroying German moral.

I think the way it should be put is like this:

The allies were on the side of the Angels

But were willing to use the tactics and weapons of the devil

[Elberiver11]

@jmewhit If Churchill had not blitzed German cities in May 1940., the Germans would not have blitzed London back in Sep. 1940.

Have a look at the dates, and tell us who started.

The British murderered over 600 000 German children and women, by burning them to ashes alive. Compare that to the 40 000 killed in England, and notice the Germans bombed England back, after England started.

Churchill is a warcriminal and should have been arrested and jailed.

[Elberiver11]

Also, Churchill claimed "fighting tyranny", but at the same time made friends with Dictator Stalin, a ruthless dictator who invaded half of Europe and forced whole nations under the iron boot of communism.

The warcriminal massmurderers Churchill & Roosevelt who burnt 1 Million children and women to ashes alive in Axis cities, should both have been tried and hanged for crimes against humanity and genocide.
