Pat Riot Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 The queen handed her a bill for £1,297,000,000,000 when they shook hands. There was a small postscript that said “That’s just for the money. The lives were our cost not to do business with you.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Seriously...imagine what that must feel like...to be in a group pf people who are celebrating their united defeat of your country; telling stories of valor and victory over your troops.... I'm not sure that I would want to be in that room. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This event celebrated a united coalition and their brave soldiers who smashed the greatest threat ever posed to humanity. And Merkle’s country was that threat.

At least Putin was smart enough not to show up, given that the Russians couldn't care less about D-Day and only focus on their own Great Patriotic War with Germany, whom they defeated single-handedly. And yes I know the Russian contribution to victory was significant, but I do find it funny how both east and west act like THEY won the war without each other's help.

What was the cost (in dollars or rubles) in lives and ships sunk getting all that aid to Murmansk? Not sure how many Sherman tanks were sent, but I think there were a number of Bell P-39's that the Soviet Air Force used in ground attack mode! Hmmm?

Blackwater 53393 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I read somewhere that German history books tell that the German people “overcame” the Third Reich with the help of the Allies. Between that and the aforementioned rewriting of history worldwide, you have the basis for Political Correctness and the One World goals of the liberals!!

Alpo Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 In that link Subdeacon Joe gave me, it says she's the most powerful person in the European Union, AND THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD. Well, damn. Way to go Germany. The Kaiser didn't succeed, and der Führer didn't make it, but now Germany rules the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 The Germans did in fact participate in D Day. But certainly not as one of the Allied nations as we know them. They were allied with some other folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
