Skitara, quit being an *******. You were the first one to start throwing around controversial political opinions in an otherwise non-political thread.
As for me, I can't believe I forgot about V-E Day. Seems I'm a day behind on that :(... An intresting coincidence though; I watched Saving Private Ryan last night. How appropriate.
At the end of World War II Europe merely accepted a new master: from the aggression and brutality of the Nazi regime Europe was placed under the despotism and the organized criminalism or brigandage of the Soviet Union. The Proletarian Dictator, the Plebeian Caesar or the Soviet Premier was nothing more than a despot supported by an ignorant, licentious and vulgar rabble.
The masses stormed like rolling waves of the sea butchering the innocent. The bodies of the dying writhed in agony and great shrieks of despair pierced the darkness. Eastern Europe was surrounded by a cacophony of haunting cries and rough bellows and was littered with the mangled corpses of those slain by the advancing Soviet soldiers. The Soviet soldiers ravished innocent and virtuous maidens, pillaged towns and swept all in their path. In the areas occupied by Soviet forces dismembered limbs, intestines and organs lie strewn and tossed on the ground. The innumerable Communist forces swarmed like locusts ravaging the fertile lands of Eastern Europe; such forces poured across the Soviet border as a horde of brigands, vagrants and common criminals. The Communist forces in their relentless onslaught destroyed all opposition. Such individuals were rapacious and savage and prowled like mighty beasts amongst innocent civilians.
May the Soviet Union and its legacy be condemned to perpetual execration and infamy!
Malevolent forms of tyranny are always in the world in some form. We are just taking a moment to consider its devastating effects if it is left out of check.
Wow, Conrad. That's epic. REP for you, and I'm totally quoting that.
EDIT: Crap, too long. Sorry Conrad.
Of course, you have to admit that without them, the Nazis would still be around...
Yep and if Nazis would have won they would have went on on Africa then America and so on.....Who knows if we would have been alive today.....
Yeah. It's all cool since since the Soviet Union helped defeat Nazi Germany. I mean, what's a few more million people dead (Soviet Union killed more people than Nazi Germany. /lern2history)?
You can't honestly say the Soviet Union was a good guy. They only bothered to fight because they were attacked. There was no "hero" faction as everyone fought only because it they were either scared because of what they had previously done (World War I) or were just selfish.
Germany got screwed over by the Treaty of Versailles. With an already destroyed economy, they were forced to accept the balme of the war and pay reparations to all Allied countries. Italy also got shafted. After the war, the promises made by the Allies were not even upheld (new land).
/foresees trolling because of different opinions
Say what you will but Hitler was a godsend to German. He rebuilt their economy, instilled national pride, and provided a common goal. After the failure of the Treaty of Versailles, Hitler was doing what his people wanted. He was fixing their country.
"Germany will either be a world power or will not be at all." - Adolf Hitler
As I said before, the Allies (Britain and France) only fought at the lasts minute. They weren't heroes because they didn't try to stop the problem when it started. They waited until Poland was invaded to finally decide war was the only option.
America was too content itself to even get a rat's ass for the outside world. Already facing the worst economic crisis in history, America feared going through another war. Let's face it, if Japan never attacked, they may have taken another year to enter the war. By that time, the Allies may have never won.
^Implying that the Germans aren't humans
What about open diplomacy? I doubt Hitler would have even been able to launch an invasion on the Americas. The Soviet Union and Britain's military would have probably dealt a nasty blow to the Nazi's fleet.
