I honestly think that is the first recording of Hitler, speaking, not screaming, I have ever heard.

Jesus Christ, the man was all ****ed up.

Default please understand where I'm coming from

I know what I'm about to say might offend a lot of people out there but it's what I honestly think. I know that the Holocost was real, don't get me wrong. I know that after what I say I'll be on the bad side of a lot of you, but it's what I honestly think of Hitler.

I think that Hitler had a mental illness and had no idea of what he was doing. I don't respect Hitler or his actions, but I believe that he was under the power of something else (not drugs or anything like that but his mental illness). If you do a study on him from the time he was little (which I have) you'll find that he was seriously messed up. But I think that in his heart he was a good man.

I understand if you want to hate me, or not talk to me, but it's what I honestly think.

Yea, a real funny man!!... Well he would have been greeted by my father's bayonett if he landed onour shores.... and mine if they hada succeded... I think that might sour his humour a bit... freak of nature.... if he wanted to rid Germany of mentally ill people he should have just blown his own head off instead of killing helpless patients......

Hitler was the worst leader Germany ever had. He lost his mind in 43' after Stalingrad. Everything prior to that was planned and orchestrated with many willing participants. Germany had always been heading towards extremism and they found the perfect outlet in Hitler. The Industrialists that financed him and thought that they could control him were dillusional also. There is a book which hits the nail on the head and its titled "The SS Alibi of a nation". With the exception of a few the entire German nation was complicit. So when you are annoyed with Germans for not engaging in Afghanistan please be aware that your re-education of the German state was very effective and has succeeded in de-militarising a highly militarised people to a degree where they are now anti-war completely in the main.

Oh I'll talk to you. But I doubt you'll like what I have to say. So when you take that IQ test, please be honest and tell us the score!

Fair point, but at what point does it stop being a reason and start being an excuse?

Ireland for its tiny military compared to Germany has EOD teams in Afganistan, plus loads of other hotspots around the world, latest being the Chad mission. Its really about doing ones best to contibute to the stability of the world stage, and address the flashpoints as they happen (preferably). Germany should be looking to try its forces on this footing, and do its bit too.... it would be a good stage to season the new forces ye have and also show the world, you have as nation left the Nazi past and joined the rest of the free worlds militaries in keeping the peace...

I think you fail to understand my point. Germany is not France so please don't compare the two. Germany was a defeated nation, Period! Now you want to change things because it suites your American agenda. You really need to make your mind up.

I know Germany is not France, its quite obvious that Germany is following Frances lead, but thats ok, there are reasons and nobody questions that.. but you seem to be not getting my point, if Ireland can help in so many countries around the world, why cant Germany, and dont forget, Ireland got its independance from the UK 18 years before WW2 broke out, the first time in 700 years of occupation, and nearly 900 years since we had being effectively a Nation.. so back to my point, if Ireland can do it, then bearing economies of scale in mind, why cant Germany?
