None of this applies to the SS.

The SS were cold-blooded killers. They were fanatics fighting for an obscene cause. There was nothing noble about what they did. There was nothing honourable or commendable.

Anyone who claims the SS were chivalrous, even sometimes chivalrous, either doesn't know the history of the SS or doesn't know the meaning of chivalry.

Don't be jealous because you don'thave a kick azz posse like me.

And those Klingons you roll with at the Star Trek convention don't count either.


Actually most of the troops in Iraq seem to like the Striker vehicle. It may not have the most muscle but for the job it's been deployed for, it does well. It's also been "toughened up" since its deployment.

Tisk Tisk Tingkai,

Steriotypes are nasty things, becaues I bet you can speak for every memeber of the SS, especially the ones drafted or pressed in.

The point of your comment was obvious, to paint the site and the author as an apologist. You took a statement and hacked off the beginning and end to yeild the little tidbit that suited you. Nevermind that the coherent idea portrayed there was to characterize the organization as a whole in a particular light. I think it is rather enlightned that he can take the TRUE accounts of good things the SS did and not use them to sugarcoat the whole organization in any revisionist manor. He said that those few things paled in comparison to the horrendous things they did and are not to be used as any redeeming trait.

Nobody is evil to the bone, and even the greatest monsters of history have been known to spontaneously and unexpectedly suprise you with some act of kindness of corrageousness. Usually the act is exagerated because of the contrast to the status quo, and serves to highlite the atrocities of that status quo. The white spot is quickly soaked by the surrounding blood.

You blatantly lied, and you were caught. It is even better that you tried to backtrack.

"Same diff."

Keep telling yourself that.

When you can't argue the facts, you resort to insults, eh.

As for backtracking, there's your claim the SS website "only lists figures that have concrete evidence. Even then when this is ambiguous or questinable he adds "?" to point this our."

So we have ambiguous and questionable facts backed by solid evidence. Yeah, right.

You claim that the SS were "sometimes chivalrous". Okay, prove it. Show us the cases where the Waffen-SS displayed a sense of fair play, where they were considerate and courteous to others.

An interesting sight. You may want to avoid it Serb, as it has this annoying knack for telling the truth and then supporting it.

Why should I avoid it? Perhaps it says about 500 000-1 000 000 Russians in German army?
NO.
It says about aprox. 50 000 and also says they never participated in any battles as I claimed. So why should I avoid it?

Would you have preferred the Nazis winning?

Your comment distorts something that doesn't have to be distorted.

After seeing what the Germans did to the Russian people (eg murdering, raping, enslaving millions), the Russian soldiers went on a rampage when they entered East Prussia. Yes, they killed civilians, raped women of all ages.

As the Red Army advanced further into Germany, the killing and raping spree seems to have lessened, although it still happened on a routine basis. One estimate is that two million German women were raped in 1945.

But, remember that millions of Russian civilians were murdered by German troops. Naturally, Russian soldiers wanted vengence.

The Red Army turned into a mob when it entered Germany. While raping German women may be understandable given what the Germans did, although certainly not justifable, Russian soldiers also raped women who the Germans had enslaved, including Russians.

What separates the Germans and the Russians is that the Soviet government took steps to stop the rapes: through propaganda that urged soldiers to behave themselves and through military orders designed to curb the criminal acts. The Germans, on the other hand, actively encouraged crimes against humanity.

I do not accept source such as: "One survivor wrote...blah...blah...blah...". I do not accpet source that talk about army of 2-nd Belarus front, but doesn't name the number of this army. I do not accept this ****ing fake.
What I do accept is official orders. Soviet leadership feared that Soldiers would start to avenge when they would enter Germany. I've read the order of "Stavka" which says that soldiers who commit crimes such as rape, murder, marauder, etc, should be shoot on site, without a trial. I've read this order with my own eyes, but unfortunately I can't find it in internet.

Btw, Saras, my gradfather (he died about year ago) who was a sergant of 2nd Guards Army, fought there and was wounded during Kenigsberg's seige.
I prefer to believe to him as eyewitness, not to this crap.
I've checked other section of this site. Comlete sh!t.

That site is full of it.

It talks about a a Soviet policy of genocide against Lithuanians and then says "almost all of them were deported" to East Germany. Deportation does not equal genocide.

It also claims that 330,000 people died in East Prussia, but what it doesn't mention is that the Nazis refused to allow civilians to flee when the frontlines were nearing the cities. As a result of the Nazi policy, thousands of civilians died when they were caught in the crossfire.

Many served along the Atlantic wall, including a group of Whites who refused to surrender to anyone less than a General IIRC. I think some were with the German 352nd Division at Normandy. There were about a million volunteers, only a fraction of which were actually retained in a military capacity.
