I think that Sweden was essential part of Germany´s war policy. The source of iron and steel for Germany´s war industry. Besides before and during WWII Germany and Sweden had very friendly and close relationship, culturally and politically. Study your motherland´s history first, or is that thing still historial tabu in Sweden? Well, I do not wonder it all. Sweden is only so hypocratic coutry.

Only one thing to say about the Finns, There stand against Communism in the Winter war was breath taking. They fought very bravely despite the fact they were out numbered by thousands of commie bastards.

I always found that ironically strange that every country could make peace with the allies but Hitler lol, that part gets me every time. Stalin did it after Fall Weiss, the Finns did it by declaring their one-sided war, the Italians did it, almost feel sorry for German diplomatic skills lol.

Heh, hello Timonen. Those soldiers around that “yanks” are not finnish. We made an agreement that we wont fight against any western countries or not even USA, just against Soviet Union. That was one term of that agreement between Finland and Germany.

Gotta love the captured “yanks” at the end. 2.11 I’m a U.S. Army Veteran of finnish descent. my last name is Timonen, and I sometimes wonder how the world would be had the Fuhrer accomplished his goals.

And don’t worry …
And don’t worry about disturbing me, I’m in speech and debate class, I eat up all criticism as long as no one throws insults like “You’re a Nazi prick,” around. Useful conversations are needed to understand certain things. I am a regular on the Axis History Forums so I am at least semi-educated on the matter so I throw my 2 cents in, then you do, then eventually we get a dollar or a Euro or something lol. Overall, I accept every counter-arguement, so have at it!

I’m just glad that Hitler didn’t realize that in order to win a war that he was planning for, he would have to exterminate entire countries instead of certain races. There is no excuse for either side, but the Finns shouldn’t have had to resort to siding with the Germans to get their rightful land back, then fight the same people in the end when forced to switch sides. But then again, we weren’t there, so what right do most of us have talking about their moral beliefs?

Moreover, sorry to say but every german person knew about what happened in the concentration camps…and most of them were silenced because of the terror. Nobody dared to speak against the Holocaust of million of people: old women, children babies…families separated and cruel murdered. My G-d !!!how could that happen !!

a good example that illustrates what I say are the sentences in Nürenberg 1945: Keitel among others, being one of the “top people” in the OKW, being a real soldier…nevertheless he sold his soul to the devil and instead of protecting the Nation fighting against the nazis, enemies of the german Naion, he was a coward soldier and colaborated directly in the crimes.
The same could you say about , Von Manstein, Guderian or Von Runstedt, or von Jodl.
All of them are to blame for the worst crime in

Pz Grenadiere,Sorry, I don´t want to disturb your conversation but I´d like to say something: You say that the russians raped women and did this and that and I agree with you.But you must take into account that the russians did that because of the crimes the SS inn Russia. I mean, there isno excuse for rapes or crimes but don´t forget what the russians had to suffer under the nazi occupation. If it was a task of Waffen SS, or Wehrmacht, or Gestapo..has no relevance as they worked together

The Finns were by …
The Finns were by far the best soldiers in WWII, they had the best sniper of the war, the most kills in air-to-air combat with an outdated fighter, and they crippled the Red Army so profusely that Stalin had to reorganize the entire military and send all of his officers back to basic training(if they were there in the first place), and another reason for SS brutality is that they were not given the option to surrender, even if the war was lost. German soldiers were used to force SS Surrenders.

Not all SS did that, there were specialist units in the SS that did that, next time you say something, you’d better have the education to back it up. The SS Totenkopf division and the SS Das Reich were the only one’s given orders from Hitler to purposely commit warcrimes, and carried them out, some outright refused him. The Russians raped German citizens from ages of 5 to 80, and raped them with over 15 soldiers at a time and a lot of people actually dies during the sexual assault by suffocation
