      I fully understand you. And a lot of Polish freedomfighters didn't get the recognition they deserved while serving on Allied side as well. But let me tell you one thing.. My late grandmother always said, The Polish forces were among the bravest of all. She saw them fighting, from house to house, bajonets fixed, while for example the Canadians set every house ablaze with flamethrowers, if they even suspected it had Germans in it, destroying civilians houses. She always told me, how much respect she had for the Polish forces, she always called them real fighters, and very daring and brave.Both her and her parents houses were 2 times ransacked. First by retreating French troops, and during operation Switchback by the Canadians. Now, i am not saying the French and Canadians sucked, but it had always upset her.

      Please check out the documentary series called =
      “EUROPA THE LAST BATTLE”
      All Ten episodes are well worth watching.
      Removed and Banned in many places, However You Can Still Find it iF You Look hard enough
      (it’s also available on DVD)
      it’s one of the most important & fascinating documentary series to come out this decade and should be shown in our schools and colleges worldwide.
      if it was shown on the mainstream media then we would win our fight for freedom over night.
      Please share it with as many people as you can before it gets Removed & Lost forever.

    Mark, just as a note, Austrian post-war conduct is very ambivalent (for lack of a better word). Very focused on making history forget about Austria as one of the 2 core Nazi countries. Because of this focus, war criminals have been treated very lightly in Austria.

They often refer to one another as “Brother Rats”. It was also a Ronald Reagan film of the same name, “Brother Rat”. Where the Rat Line walks can be noted on the stone staristeps in Barracks.

I will also tell this to my future kids, so such a terrible thing can never happen again. Also i biked through the small village where Mengele was hiding called Mangolding. Good audiobook!

      I also recently found out that in our neighbouring village SS men were hiding/holding out towards the end of the war... the Americans fired at them and consequently three farms burned down. Hearing these things is simply insane.

And in my research into WWII armor, it seems now that someone is planting in Wikipedia statements like "January 24, 1941 - Nazi Germany ordered Catholic publications to cease printing....". Of course there is no link to any authentic event or source. These truth shifters will go to any length to get the shit stain of Nazi Germany and Hitler out of the collective shorts of the church. If there are there any more disgusting people on this planet - I haven't heard of them.

This demonstrates just how complex history can be.

      Read up on the Reichskonkordat between the Vatican and Nazi Germany. Basically it boils down to the Vatican to stop speaking out against the Nazis and in return they would leave the Catholic Church alone. They even probably agreed that Stalin was a bigger threat to the Church than anything else so they already had a willingness to work together.

Then it got further corrupted until we have the sickening version that we have today.

    Remember, the Nazis weren't the only ones running escape lines immediately following WWII. Millions of Eastern Europeans were trying to escape the clutches of the Soviet occupation. The policy of the triumphant western allies immediately following WWII was to repatriate all refugees w/o regard to where they would wind up relative to the control of Soviet forces. People who would be arrested, imprisoned, tortured & possibly even murdered for political reasons deported mercilessly. If such people were to escape being handed over to Stalin's minions they had to escape & they usually needed false papers to do so.
    That is something which should curb the self righteousness of the Western powers, how many people had their lives ruined by the Soviet oppression after WWII, withe active connivance of the Western power? It would be a few years after WWII b/4 the governments of the West would admit that Soviet Russia was not just another ally.
