Thanks
Is this one in particular ( right clik save target as…)
“…from the 05.45 am of the 1th september the polish agression has been countered …” :rolleyes:
i enjoy watching the wochenchau videos on youtube as they are very interesting
Indeed they are, specially the parts of combat footage, enjoy it…but not too much 
Very nice but this topic is actually for videos.
don’t forget to enjoy their lovely “judo-bolshevic/soviet paradize” matter:)
That kind of footage cannot be “enjoyed” but is educative in more than one way.
The “Soviet paradise” coul fall in the same category of any russian film about liberated german concentration camps, despite coming from an depravated and twisted regime that were not inventions or a pre made propaganda.
One has to be intelligent enough to separate the truth from the made up video. Fortunately enough I can do it and I think many people who are interested in studing the ww2 german side viewing the Wochenschaus can do it as well.
But of course, morons, stupid and fanatic people you can find it everywhere from this side and the other side too. And seems in southern russia there is a large concentration of them.
And at least one “morons, stupid and fanatic people” in the South Pacific, too. Being me.
The USSR was one of three major allies among the Allies which defeated the Axis in WWII.
The USSR bore the Allied brunt in lives lost and conflict on its soil in doing so. Britan and America, among others, had no conflict on their heartland soil and lost nothing like the number of service people and civilians in fighting the Nazis, nor endured anything even remotely like the unimaginable atrocities routinely carried out in the East and elsewhere against Russians and other Soviets.
Churchill, Roosevelt and every other Allied leader supported Stalin and the USSR, to the hilt.
Then, when the Allies had defeated the common Nazi enemy, the others turned on the Soviets and resumed their pre-war hostility to communism as a threat to the capitalist interests for which the war was in large part fought by the West. Not that the average Western soldier saw it that way. Or benefited from it that way, either.
Meanwhile Argentina remained aligned with the Nazis for most of the war and declared war on Germany only in the last few dying days when Argentina realised as a staunch fascist ally that it was in its interests to shit on its former fascist Nazi mate to try to curry favour with the victors, hoping that the victors would forget that Argentina had backed the victors’ enemy for the whole war.
That doesn’t make Argentina any worse than many European and other nations.
Apart from the fact that Argentina didn’t fight and didn’t lose anyone in that conflict. And gained quite a bit from it as Nazis flocked to it after the war.
As for lecturing Chevan and anyone else on abuses of human rights in concentration camps and so on, get a grip on yourself. Argentina might not have been as bad in numbers as the Nazis but it sure as hell was as bad in the way it treated the opponents to its fascist governments.
I have that only from Argentinians who migrated to Australia who told me that they fled to save themselves from the junta, but of course these people were also communists and fanatic people.
Oddly enough, the only fanaticism I found in them was a fanatical desire to save their own lives and those of their families.
Which rather puts them in the same category as the Russians faced with the Einsatzgruppen. Which doesn’t reflect all that well on Argentina as the home of the brave and the land of the free.
Very nice story but I dont see the relation of that with the claim that all pictures in the Wochenschau are made up as chevan imply.
I was responding to what you said, not what you say Chevan said.
I know all that already, the declaration of war, migrations, etc, there is no need to tell me.
Well, if you knew all that already, why give Chevan a hard time about something you already knew supported his position?
???
Again I dont see the relation of that with the Wochenschau and how it could change the fact of the very poor living condictions in soviet russia depicted by the “Soviet paradise”.
Chevan had here a sad history of denying facts, so you can figure the rest.
This has the potential to get awesome. :mrgreen:
What happens if two people who like to ‘bend’ history get in an argument and an Australian jumps into the mix?
We’ll find out!
There is only one person here who like to “bend” and moreover change the history and is not me.
And who would that person be, and when and how has he or she bent history?
Who knows?
I suppose the Aussie could, uncharacteristically, refrain from joining the conflict and instead reflect upon a small but encouraging instance of the rare good which comes from the bad which war is.
Thousands attend Anzac service in Villers-Bretonneux,
By Belinda Tasker in Villers-Bretonneux, France

TO the French during World War I, the Australian Diggers who fought and died protecting them were heroes.
More than nine decades later, France still feels deeply grateful for the sacrifice the thousands of Diggers made, and no more so than on Anzac Day.
Over 3000 people - a mix of French and Australians - gathered near the rural town of Villers-Bretonneux in the Somme tpday for the second Anzac Day dawn service at the Australian National Memorial to remember the 46,000 Diggers who lost their lives on the Western Front between 1916 and 1918.
As a bracing wind blew across the quiet hilltop memorial surrounded by a patchwork of green and gold fields, the crowd was reminded of France’s affection for the Diggers who helped save their country and small towns like Villers-Bretonneux.
“Those irresistible Anzacs,” then French President Albert Lebrun remarked in 1938 as he opened the memorial, which lists the names of 10,771 Diggers who disappeared on the Western Front battlefields.
Ninety one years later, France’s Secretary for Defence and Veterans’ Affairs Jean Marie Bockel echoed Mr Lebrun’s sentiment, saying it had been a true act of generosity on Australia’s part to send so many men to fight so far from home.
“How could these men have dedicated themselves with so much generosity and so much selflessness, so far from their homes,” he said.
“It is important to remind young French people that men from other countries died here so that they could be born free. And it is important to remind young Australians of the example of their fathers, those brave fighting men whose me we are honouring today.”

Bound by history, French children honour their debt
Peter Wilson and Lauren Wilson | April 25, 2009
The Australian“WE have not forgotten the Australians.”
That is the simple message of Pauline Lefebore, 10, who beams with pride as she tells how she and her classmates in a French village are keeping a promise made long before they were born.
Pauline and the 130 other children at the school in Villers-Bretonneux are raising money for children affected by Victoria’s Black Saturday bushfires.
“You always have to keep your promises,” said Pauline’s friend, Cecile Przewrocka.
This promise was made by their grandparents, and it is still written above the blackboard in the class of Chantal Macrez and every other teacher at the school: “N’Oublions Jamais l’Australie” (Let us never forget Australia).
A plaque on the front of the school tells how 1200 Australian soldiers died liberating the village from the Germans on April 24, 1918, in fighting that destroyed the school and left the entire Rue de Pressoir in rubble.
The children of Victoria then helped to raise money to rebuild the school, with each child in the state asked to donate a penny.
Using the slogan “By Diggers defended, by Victorians mended”, the donation campaign raised pound stg. 10,000, which was matched by the Victorian Education Department.
Now the French are repaying the debt, raising money to rebuild one of the three schools razed in Victoria on February 7. Today’s students of Strathewen primary school have some idea of what a war zone looks like. In the Black Saturday bushfires, they lost their school, many lost their homes, four young students lost parents and the school lost one of its own, little Erryn Bartlett.

And who would that person be, and when and how has he or she bent history?
Chevan, claiming that there were no 6 million of jews exterminated in gas chamber, I cant put a link the topic because I erased it.
You , buddy, tell to Brits who like to bend the history here:)
Not to me…
