Useless UN

[Diasi]

Good job not everyone thought like Diasi or you'd all have been speaking German !

Well far better than getting ready to speak some Muslim language.

However, your post displays an embarrassing lack of knowledge of 1930s Germany's view of the UK & it's desired relationship with the UK.

[Michael Rolls]

Germany signed a non-aggression pact with the USSR. That went well. Had Hitler succeeded against the USSR there would have been nothing to stop him coming for the UK as well - don't be deceived by the rhetoric of 'natural allies' - this it the true face of Hitler's ambition

This is the text of a speech given in 1941 by Reichminister R.W. Darre:-

As soon as we beat England we shall make an end of you Englishmen once and for all. Able-bodied men and women will be exported as slaves to the Continent. The old and the weak will be exterminated. All men remaining in Britain as slaves will be sterilised; a million or two of the young women of the Nordic type will be segregated in a number of stud farms where, with the assistance of picked German sires, during a period of 10 or 12 years, they will produce annually a series of Nordic infants to be brought up in every way as Germans. These infants will form the future population of Britain. They will be partially educated in Germany and only those who fully satisfy the Nazis' requirements will be allowed to return to Britain and take up permanent residence. The rest will be sterilised and sent to join slave gangs in Germany. Thus, in a generation or two, the British will disappear.

This wasn't some secret policy; it was a speech given in public and presumably intended to strike terror into British hearts. Fortunately it failed.

I'd never heard of him Mike, well researched! He must be a source of influence for Ursula von der Leyen that wonder woman of restriction and control. Germans make such nice people when you rally think about it?

Listen sunshine, don't 'speak' to me like that  !  I know quite a lot about Germany, the build up to war and their part in WWII.  I lived there for ten years, I speak excellent German and sometimes your 'attitude' frankly pisses me off. 

Marge and I have been on holiday in Germany a number of times and have found the German people very amenable.  I have stumbled in trying to speak in German to them, and they do appreciate it (then help me out!).

I'd like to think that Hitler was a peculiarly nasty piece of work and, although he managed to persuade many people to support him, I'm sure that not every German was a Nazi.  The impression I get is that since we won the war, the German people are quite different to those who fell for the persuasive Hitler possibly through fear rather than admiration.

I deleted my post JBR, deciding I didn't want to be rude.

You are never rude, Alex, and I certainly didn't regard your post as rude.
Go on.  Put it back on!
