Warum haben viele der deutschen Soldaten keine Schuhe an?

Imagine the world today if American, British and Germans had have been allies. Interesting thought.

[lekarzkto]

Interesting video. It looks like the Germans and the Americans were cooperating with each other.

I'm sure many of those guys were thinking how lucky they were surrendering to the western allies rather than to the Soviets... that's because they hadn't heard of the Rhine Meadows camps yet and that Eisenhower would change their status from POW to DEF, Disarmed Enemy Forces, to avoid the rules of the Geneva or Hague conventions that said you have to feed your prisoners. Poor dudes had heard good things about America, freedom, justice, democracy, nice words indeed... unfortunately, reality had never heard of those words, much less what they were supposed to mean.
If there had been doubts about the first war stab in the back, this time it was real, unbelievably real.

So🤔 correct me if I'm wrong, , Yugoslavia and chech republic, under USSR reigns 🤔

[davidkozderka]

Poznal někdo, kde to je natočeno? Podle Američanů to budou někde západní Čechy.

[elsahammer]
