During his previous appearance(s) on the board Adrian was reasonably rational, if provocative and purposely obtuse when it suited him as he is now, but in the thread I linked above http://www.ww2incolor.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9110
he is all over the place with a crazy mixture of legalism, philosophy and unsupported and insupportable assertions pursuing some obscure point that eludes most of the rest of us.
Either his mental condition is getting worse or he’s so obsessed with that topic that he’s lost all rationality.
I think he’s trying to run some sort of provocative anti-German crusade, and is borderline trolling.
Just like freyir_33, who by some remarkable coincidence joined the board shortly before Adrian reappeared. It might be pure coincidence, or maybe they’re associated on some other board for nutcases pursuing what I perceive as an anti-German, as distinct from an anti-Nazi, campaign.
Freyir’s line is that the Heer, which he persists in calling the Wehrmacht, was just as guilty as the SS and the Nazis in exterminating the Jews and in other exterminations and atrocities, from which he wants us to infer that the whole of the Heer was involved, and from which his sub-text seems to be that all Germans were. That’s a legitimate argument to pursue with historical evidence and rational analysis, but freyir’s approach almost from the moment he appeared on the board strikes me as being essentially an unreasoning racist hostility to Germans which he tries to dress up as being rational with isolated bits of ‘evidence’, which do not support his attempts to tar the whole of the Heer and the German people with the same brush. I reckon he’s laying the foundation for another assault here http://www.ww2incolor.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9122 Do any other mods have the same impression of freyir, or am I being unfair to him?
