My parents were farmers during WWII, and got a "deferment" as growing food was deemed equally important as carrying a rifle.
Old Salt. I think it would be a good idea if you pointed out YOUR service in the Canadian Navy , for those that don't know about it. Having Germanic roots as a child, didn't stop you from joining the RCN, did it ? Of course not. JimB.This supports what I wrote about the Nazis! Have ruthless people in power and good people are turned into killers!
For the first time in a long time I am truly horrified! And sad, and upset! End of discussion for me!Sorry, @Old Salt as I like you too, but I remain unimpressed. No sympathy for the WWII German people, only their victims and no sob story about how good people got caught up will ever change my mind. Thrilled when I saw how lousy the East Germans lived, just tickled pink. If I had a choice between Germany & Japan getting nuked (not that I wanted it for anyone)I would not have chosen Germany to have been the ones to escape.
The stench of crematoriums will never dissipate.
"To say no to fervent Nazis meant not only that you could lose your life but also that of your family."
We have a saying in New Hampshire "Live Free or Die." Gutless wonders, IMO, those "good" Germans. The Hell with them.
No comment. I am letting the article speak for itself:I guess you have forgotten about the THOUSANDS of Americans who were members of the American Nazi Party in the 1930's ? Link. https://www.warhistoryonline.com/instant-articles/nazis-in-america.html Another American who does not know the history of her own country. One of the leading members of that American Nazi Party was named Charles Lindberg, perhaps you have heard of him ? JImB.
Once again, you are wrong. I am not and I do not. I see it as it was. Love bratwurst btw.@Pepper you are bitter and hate everything German!
And I adore Latkes! With apple sauce!Once again, you are wrong. I am not and I do not. I see it as it was. Love bratwurst btw.
Thanks for reminding me. Mom also rode motorcycles for some British service. (she's no longer here so I can't say which one).Both my parents were in the RAF. They both drove motorcycles and my mom was assistant air traffic controller. I forget what my dad did. That’s where my parents met. It was really sweet the way they’d explain how they met. They truly shared a romance through a tragic part of history and something I really admired about them.
Note: looking at the dates of WW2, there’s no way my parents served in that. They were far too young but they definitely were both in the RAF in England.
Faced with facts, you have no rebuttal. Bye now.How dare you. You have no idea what I know and don't but I will tell you, you insufferable person, that...........Nevermind, you have no idea. You're bragging to the wrong person. Don't think for an instant that you............Nevermind, once again, you have no idea.

Shame on you.

I didn't deny facts! It's your deliberately insulting assumption I did not know them that I take umbrage to! How can you presume to know what I do or don't know? I did know your facts, and one of them is that you are insufferable!Faced with facts, you have no rebuttal. Bye now.
They didn't light up ovens though... did they?Well Pepper, have I made my point clear enough for you ? Nazis were right at home in the USA, both before and after WW2 took place.
Exactly what I was thinking. Also, since America was [again] mentioned by a "certain" poster, I was wondering why the Canadian Nazi Party under W.J.Beattie was totally shoved under the rug and not mentioned. Fair is fair, no? Oh well, couldn't expect much more, I guess. Good morning @Jamala and all... hope you're having a good Monday!They didn't light up ovens though... did they?
WJ Beattie was born in 1941. So he was a baby during WW2. He DID found the Canadian Nazi Party in the 1960's in Toronto.Exactly what I was thinking.

Thanks for sharing, Jim. I was, however, referring to your own statementHere is a link to an article about him and his political follies.
Yes thank you Kate… had a really good day. Lots of filing done and things put away in my office. It looks a picture, until I mess it up againExactly what I was thinking.
