1. While some may believe that the English language is of the Romance or Latinate, it is actually Teutonic, like German.
Some years ago I decided to read Erich Remarque’s book…
![]()
….in the original German. Took a long time, sitting with a German-English dictionary, but I did read it. Today, sometimes I can still get the gist of a written German news story.
The popularity of the novel proves how mistaken Franklin Roosevelt was in his worldview.
a.“Erich Maria Remarque[1] (born Erich Paul Remark; 22 June 1898 – 25 September 1970) was a German novelist who created many works about the horrors of war. His best known novel All Quiet on the Western Front (1928), about German soldiers in the First World War, was made into an Oscar-winning film. His book made him an enemy of the Nazis, who burned many of his works.” Erich Maria Remarque - Wikipedia
3.“His book made him an enemy of the Nazis,…”
Remarque was hardly the only German who was anti-Nazi.
“Approximately 77,000 German citizens were killed for one or another form of resistance…” German resistance to Nazism - Wikipedia
Let's look at a primary source, Allen Dulles, first civilian to head the CIA, and its longest serving director. In "Germany's Underground: The Anti-Nazi Resistance," Dulles wrote of that the German was the only anti-Nazi underground not supported by the United States. (p.22).
On page 140, Dulles states "The plotters (anti-Nazi German resistance)....were told clearly and repeatedly that we had made common cause with Russia...." as the reason they were frozen out.
The NYTimes told the same story, March 18, 1946: "Full Story of Anti-Hitler Plot Shows That Allies Refused To Assist."
Why do you suppose FDR refused to use the anti-Nazi Germans in his battle against Hitler?
4. Here’s the point: Franklin Roosevelt refused to work with anti-Hitler Germans because of his undying love of ‘Uncle Joe’ Stalin. Government school will never teach that Roosevelt could have defeated Hitler and ended the war, years earlier than he did, with the concomitant savings in American lives and treasure, if he did not bend to every one of Communist Stalin’s orders.
The result is explained in the title of this thread.
It will be irrefutably proven in the thread itself.
5. If you believe that FDR functioned totally in the interests of America, and Americans, that he did a wonderful job in pursuing victory in WWII, that he had any sort of moral compass…..
….then you probably voted for Hillary.
You seem to be saying one of two things....
FDR did not try to get us into WWII against the Germans by every crazy pro-England idea he could cook up and against the wishes (not necessarily 100% wrong) of the Charles Lindbergh group according to your version of history?
Or are you saying Hitler was not the greatest threat at the time?
Or are you saying FDR should have sought war with Hitler and Stalin in 1941 because both were madmen?
Or are you saying Trump has no moral compass since he met with the monster Kim Jong Un? Which to speed things along I was ok with despite the cries from the "proconditions" crowds of past years.
Frau Braun PC is still moaning that the Nazis lost
oh, I did not realize that was her angle.
Hatred of Stalin is easy enough to explain. Heck, Churchill nearly got the Brits into a war with Russia. I think at the time I would have been all hands on deck against Germany hopefully not to the point that when the Japanese came to bomb Pearl Harbor there would have been an empty shipyard and a welcoming beach. All the ships would have been in the Med stopping Rommell's supplies. Man our Dec 1941 entry date into the war is a national embarrassment.
Find anything in my posts that you can dispute.
From past posts I realize your goal posts for truth and proof are not at the end of the playing field but someplace around your own 25 yard line. Your posting history follows you around and perhaps a new user ID would be handy.
