Yes, hopefully, our societies will never find a use for them the way Germany did.

In my country they get all the support they need because they are "SJW's" and call themselves anti-facists but it was Churchill who once said that new facists would call themselves anti-facists. Here history is repeating itsselve.

When the Russians captured the Kaminski Brigade" at the end of the war the Russian Army unit who captured them contacted their HQ. The reply was to kill them all--on the spot. The SS unit was that bad.

In NZ, specifically Auckland, they work for police and fly out of Mechanics Bay! So I bow to your superior knowledge on this repetition of history good sir!

Attrocities and violations were committed by ALL sides in WW2. 75 years later, we simply cannot transpose the circumstances of those events onto our understanding of the modern world and make judgements based on how we live today.

One other comment Weber told me was that the "Star in the Circle" markings on allied tanks made great aiming points.

In the USA, there may be bad police officers, but most of them are saints compared to the people who complain about police brutality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu1vrb-cvwU
The song was supposed to be a protest against police brutality but instead it convinced the public that those who complain about it are worse scumbags than the worst police.

Hear hear!! Mr.Bravo, I sa.ute you for your, 1000% correct, comment.
The biggest problem these days is the complete lack of historic knowledge by those you, in spite of that lack, feel intitled to have an opinion.
I have a "MyLittlePony"-generation niece that went to Hiroshima. She was shocked by what she saw, almost broke down in tears for those poor Japanese victems and cursed the massmurdering Americans who dropped the bom.
I asked her if she had any idea what made the Americans do that and what the Japs did to let it get that far......she didn't......but wow, did she have an opinion!!

And the Japanese aren't exactly popular in the other Asian nations either.

That's painfully obvious. Whilst he may have played the part of mr policeman on the big screen I doubt Ice T's anyone's example of a pillar of society by any stretch.

I've maintained for some time now that Auckland police's utilization of its air asset has been unlawful, incidences in which I've been roused from needed sleep owing to early starts at work because the said asset runs harassment, milk -runs over my residence on multiple occasions tells me all I need to know about this particular part of Auckland police's operation and the hierarchy involved. And before anyone says they could be chasing criminals etc, well, it's happened so many times and only when I've needed to start work early in the past year or so. Something I'm damn sure Work and Saftey NZ would be very interested in!

I am more than happy with your ground pounder policeman, no problems what so ever with their conduct!(which in case anyone is wondering I have had no contact with what so ever in the stated time frame) But this group operating out of Mechanics Bay, need crossed stick grenades painted to their aircrafts fusalage. Sad but true!

I agree that no cure should be worse than the disease.

....There was no general order to the Allied troops on D-Day to take no prisoners, as you correctly indicate. The order was issued to the airborne troops only, along with the order to not shoot unless absolutely necessary but rather use knives or grenades to kill any germans encountered until daylight to avoid mass confusion.

The above is pretty well documented.

Of course, there were many German prisoners taken by the Allies and it was not a general practice to kill prisoners but it did happen.

My point is that nobody was squeaky clean.

I've seen D-Day documentaries from US, Canadian, and British sources. All of them had interviews with veterans (obviously these interviews took place several years ago) who variously witnessed some killing of prisoners ON D-Day. Once the beaches were cleared of landing vehicles and troops (D + 1) pens were able to be set up and prisoners accommodated. Maybe some of you want to call veterans liars because you don't agree with them?? Don't tell me some of you are so naive that you think setting up prisoner pens was a priority in the first few hours of landing!

I'm pretty sure discussions go better if one doesn't start by calling other people naive and implying they're ignorant.

Just a thought.
