Me too. I just answered a question with a historical fact that I know from history lessons. For what it is worth, I did A Level in modern history.

That makes me a super Nazi following Astute‘s crazed logic.

I suspect it is a distraction from the RM concentration camp discussion. Accuse the accusers is a tactic.

Nobody’s writing alternative histories here. Allied crimes, while nowhere near comparable to the Holocaust, did still happen. It was British policy to carpet bomb, even well into 1945. History is nuanced

Where? I said that bombing civilians is counted as a war crime today.as in Syria. Is that distasteful? You seem to think that bombing civilians is ok, and that RMs justification for concentration camps is ok. And then accuse me of being a Nazi.

You said it was in the Second World War as well and openly compared the two and condemned the Dresden bombing

It’s a stupid and disrespectful comparison and Rees mogg never justified then

JRM said it was done compassionately to help feed Boer families. Ignoring that it was only a necessity because we burned all their property and destroyed all the food. In Kitchener’s own words it was a deliberate policy.

Your aristocratic idol is wrong but my guess is you think the British Empire was great irrespective

Correct.

He said that the Germans who started a war to take over Europe then murdered and killed many, many millions would have found Churchill guilty of bombing civilians and found themselves innocent of all charges.

Then the usual suspects turn up to defend everything that he says.
Click to expand...

That’s still not what he said but let me se if I’ve got this right. Having won the war you think that the Nazi’s, that’s the Nazi’s, would have put themselves on trial for the atrocities that they committed during the war to clear their name of war crimes? Why?

Of course not as I haven't. But it is a lie that looks good in a comment against someone who finds what you are saying very distasteful.

If you haven’t said it was justified then WTF are you ranting on about? By the way, someone did say it was justified so why not have a go at them for that? Given your self proclaimed neutrality.

...because the Nazis obviously wouldn’t prosecute themselves. In fact if they’d won then the death camps would have been a state secret (like the Katyn massacre and Molotov-Ribbentrop pact were for the Soviets). The victors get to write history.

If the Nazis win their propaganda goes unchallenged and Hitler would clearly have gone after Churchill and Stalin. It was either him or Goebbels who called him the ‘gravedigger of Europe’. I fail to see how this makes martcov a Nazi sympathiser, genuinely.
Click to expand...

Clearly Germany would have wagged their fingers at Churchill and Stalin, called them cheeky scamps and told them to be on their way. That’s the alternative to the suggestion that they would have been trialed by the Nazi’s. It’s madness to the point of moronic to suggest that they wouldn’t have faced retribution from the Nazi’s had the result gone the other way.

Yes he did. He claimed that the death rate was the same as Glasgow. Aside from the fact he deliberately didn’t compare it to the death rate in South Africa outside of the camps when the government took direct control of the camps from the army following lobbying from decent MPs and pressure groups we stopped deliberately starving people and stopped the practice of deliberately not treating illnesses. Guess what? The death rates fell. Dramatically. He also tried to make out that they were refugees when in fact they were homeless because we operated a scorched earth policy that included burning down homesteads, salting the earth so crops wouldn’t grow and poisoning wells. Did you actually watch the program? If you did you would know that he didn’t mention any of that. Did you click on the link I gave you? If you did you would know that the reality was nothing like the picture RM was painting. Your notion that RM didn’t defend it is ridiculous in the extreme because he painted an entirely fictional picture of the camps.

I condemned the Dresden bombing. That was after you chipped in. I still do. I understand arguments for it, but I think that attacking a city containing huge numbers of refugees and hardly defended as they were not a military target, was probably a war crime. The fact that the people who took part openly expressed regret in interviews and the Queen went with them to the reconsecrecation of the Frauenkirche shows that it is not just me who regrets the attacks.

Rees Mogg said the concentration camps were for the benefit of the internees.

And now you have made up more crap.

Go on. For once show where someone has said what you have said they have. Where have I called him a Nazi sympathiser. He has to be careful what he says as much is illegal especially in Germany.

But as I keep saying I want to k ow why he is labelling Churchill as a war criminal especially as he has lived in Germany most of his life.

No. You keep on going on about everyone who has bombed civilians. Yet your get out clause on Germany is that if they had won the war they wouldn't have found themselves guilty.

Why don't you list the atrocities Germany did?

Of course you didn't mention the mass murders by Germany. You have forgotten to mention anything bad they have done. But you still make the point that Churchill is a war criminal.

I guess it depends on what you mean by cock. My definition would be someone who justifies the indiscriminate bombing of civilians. Whereas you think someone is a cock if they don’t think indiscriminate bombing of civilians is justifiable. I guess it’s all about perspective. For the record if thinking that the indiscriminate bombing of civilians isn’t justifiable makes you a cock then I wear that badge with pride.

I haven’t had a dig at the UK. I answered a question with a fact.

I said the Nazis would have come out with some excuses to play down their own crimes.

We are not talking about present day Germany, the question was about the Nazi regime.

You have serious comprehension problems.

We are not at war with your hated Germans.
