After the fall of America.
Lol lunacy.
After the fall of America.
There's nothing devastating in that speech for people who know, understand and accept history.
The USSR and Nazi Germany were allies, despite their opposite ideologies.
USSR needed Germany to hold back the capitalist nations to the west, and preferably to bleed them dry.
Germany needed the USSR to stay out of war long enough for Hitler's forces to mop up in the west.
Stalin's speech is pretty arrogant given the fact that his purges had left his armies sorely inadequate to face anything coming their way. This also proved to be the truth with operation Barbarossa, and it wasn't until one and a half year after the invasion of their homeland that the Soviet armies were able to muster an effective counter offensive.
Lol lunacy.
On 10 February 1945, the brigade was redesignated 23rd SS Volunteer Panzer Grenadier Division Nederland., although its strength at the time was barely 1,000 men
This "division" never got bigger than a brigade.

That was very interesting. I have not seen this poster before. The style is unusual as it is modern and not like other late war German propaganda posters used in occupied areas. I did a google image search and found that it was a colour cover of a magazine called Kultur Terror which is actually Danish, not Dutch. ( I apologise for going off topic. I have a general interest in art movements in propaganda)

Stalin reveals that he wants to conquor Europe. And you accept that? And nevertheless you want to defend the case of fighting together with these criminals because Germany wanted Danzig back and a corridor? How desperate can you be to defend an alliance with a slaughterhouse that killed millions of it's own people before?
Oh, wait you were Jewish, now I remember.
They were not 'allies'. Having a non-agression agreement does not mean you are an ally.
Oh really? Did France and the UK plan an attack on the USSR? Fascinating.
Maybe it is time for you to go to bed and get some rest. Believe me, you need it!![]()
Again, France and Britain declared war on Germany, not the other way around.
With the invasion of Norway by Britain and France they acted upon their war declaration and Germany was forced to react to avoid being cut off from vital iron supplies, which was the intention of the invasion of Britain and France.
Wrong. Stalin was caught by surprise; his entire army was designed for attack, not defense.
Germany struck first while large parts of the Soviet army was still in the train on their way to the front.
God, I am beginning to think that Nein 11 is trying to shill for the upcoming remake of "Red Dawn" with this "Fall Of America" BS.
I am far from the only one who expects a breakup of the country. In libertarian circles they are discussing this topic on a daily basis. Buchanan speculated about it.
Ah wait, all Nazis.
Complete and utter falsehood. Britain and France never invaded Norway, as you have been shown earlier. They planned to, but Germany beat them to it. You repeating such an obvious falsehood is tantamount to lying on your part.
After Hitler conquered Poland, and while still fine-tuning his plans against France, the British began to exert control of the coastline of neutral Norway, an action that threatened to cut off Germany s iron-ore conduit to Sweden and outflank from the start its hegemony on the Continent. The Germans quickly responded with a dizzying series of assaults, using every tool of modern warfare developed in the previous generation. Airlifted infantry, mountain troops and paratroopers were dispatched to the Scandinavian nation, seizing Norwegian strong points while forestalling larger but more cumbersome Allied units. The German navy also set sail, taking a brutal beating at the hands of Britannia, while ensuring with its sacrifice that key harbors could be held open for resupply. As dive bombers soared overhead, small but elite German units traversed forbidding terrain to ambush Allied units trying to forge inland. At Narvik, some 6,000 German troops battled 20,000 French and British, until the Allies were finally forced to withdraw by the great disaster in France, which had then get underway. As a veritable coda to the campaign, the aircraft carrier Glorious, while trying to sail back to Britain, was hammered under the waves by the German battlecruiser Scharnhorst. The air, airborne, sea, amphibious, infantry, armour and commando aspects of this brief but violent campaign are here covered in meticulous detail.
By the way, Nein11, who forced wittle ol' Nazi Germany to invade the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, and Greece?
Did the British and French invade those countries as well?
You obviously have not a clue what you are talking about:

Book 2008, written by a Henrik Lunde (must be Norwegian).
In central Norway, the campaign was centered on Åndalsnes and Namsos (see Battle of Åndalsnes and Namsos Campaign). British bases were established at those two ports very soon after the German invasion. However, in the face of German air superiority, it proved impossible to maintain forces there. After penetrating into the valley of Gudbrandsdal, British forces were withdrawn from central Norway in early May.
Pat Buchanan is about as Nazi as you get without openly peddling racial profiling.
The British expedition force that invaded Belgium in 1914 was the cause of the failure of the Schlieffenplan. hence the invasion of Holland and Belgium.
Look, this was a European war between major European powers. We are not going to whine about little countries standing in the way.
Now, please stop lying about this. Germany invaded Norway. Not the British. Not the French. Germany. Denying history isn't going to work.

No problem with being compared with Buchanan. Calling him a Nazi makes you a fool.
Not sure what you mean with 'racial profiling'.
I am against mass immigration, which is a majority position in Europe and America.
Only haters of European civilization like you would advocate bringing endless numbers of third worlders in.
They all invaded, but the British French planned first, but were incompetent in carrying it out. Have a look at this:

Do you admit that the 2 aircraft carriers were send away from PH?
You keep linking to that quote despite me having disproved your silly assertion already.
Once again:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_campaign_in_Norway
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Campaign
British troops were landed in Norway after the German invasion. The Allied plans to occupy Norway were never implemented. The German invasion made all further speculation moot.
Now, will you please stop lying? It's making you look dumb(er).
In the late 1930s, as Europe moved toward war, the peaceful kingdom of Norway found itself strategically vital to the interests of Germany, France and Great Britain. Though Norway was strictly neutral, in April 1940 Britain and France mined Norwegian territorial waters to prevent supplies from reaching Germany. Immediately, the German Reich invaded the militarily weak Norway. Norway 1940 shows the country fighting valiantly, assisted by the Allies in a two-month campaign that has become a textbook example of confused aims and faulty coordination. François Kersaudy delved deeply into the archives of the nations involved to offer the most balanced account to date. He depicts the glaring political and military errors of the campaign and goes on to consider large questions about its conduct and consequences
This is an excellent overview of the British, French, German and Norwegian war campaigns in Norway in the spring of 1940. This remarkable campaign began with the British and French trying to cut off Axis iron ore supplies, which in winter came from Sweden through Norway to Germany, and ended with a decisive German victory. It is an amazing study of military incompetence on the part of Norway, Britain and France, and substantial competence on the part of the Germans.
The initial planning for the campaign by the British was astonishingly amateurish. The political leadership both micromanaged and failed to make major decisions simultaneously... This was a campaign in which the British resolutely refused to trust or listen to the Norwegians. Their generals operated with tourist maps, and the communications were so bad that the unified commander was actually in London because no place in Norway could reliably communicate with any place else.
The plan for Operation Wilfred called for three groups of ships. Force WS was the most southerly. It was to consist of the Teviot Bank and four destroyers and would lay mines off Stadtlandet, the most westerly area of the Norwegian mainland. Close to the north would be Force WB, consisting of two destroyers. This force would pretend to lay a minefield off Bud. Finally, Force WV, consisting of four mine laying destroyers and four destroyer escorts would lay mines in Vestfjord, the channel of water that leads to Narvik.
These forces were then reinforced with the battlecruiser HMS Renown under Vice-Admiral W. J. Whitworth, to protect the minelayers against Norway’s four coast defence ships, which were believed to be at Narvik. Finally, troops were embarked on cruisers at Rosyth and transport ships were prepared in the Clyde just in case the Germans responded to the British mine laying by attempting to occupy Norwegian ports (this was known as Plan R4).
The actual operation was carried out successfully. The Teviot Bank sailed on 5 April, as did the Renown and her destroyers. On the following day they were joined by Force WV, but the destroyer HMS Glowworm was detached to search for a man who had fallen overboard. Late on 7 April the British naval force approached the Vestfjord, and in the early morning of 8 April the mines were laid.
At that point Operation Wilfred ended, but the British ships at sea were about to become entangled in the German invasion of Norway, which had been set in motion just before the British expedition. HMS Glowworm would be the first British victim of that campaign, clashing fatally with the German cruiser Hipper on 8 April. After all of the dithering about the decision to lay a minefield in Norwegian waters, within two months it would be irrelevant. The German invasion of Norway ended in success after a sometimes chaotic Allied intervention. Once Norway was occupied by the Germans, ships in her coastal waters were no longer protected by her neutrality, and would eventually become the target of a long running campaign of attacks by Coastal Command.
It is sometimes suggested that the German invasion of Norway was launched in response to Operation Wilfred. Although the two operations were indeed first mentioned at about the same time, the German invasion plans were in place well before the British made their move. Detailing planning work had begun in January 1940, the directive authorising the attack had been signed on 7 March, and the invasion date had been set on 2 April. The first German ships left port on 3 April, two days before the Teviot Bank put to sea.
Yes, as I said earlier. Do you know what, for example, Enterprise was doing?
Taking fighters to Wake to help defend against a possible Japanese attack there. An attack which occured 2 weeks after Pearl.
How about Lexington (the other carrier)? It was transporting fighters to Midway. You know Midway. The place that was attacked 6 months after Pearl.
In other words the carriers were performing the role they had been doing for the previous few months, of providing fighters to vulnerable US outposts.
So...do you admit that the US forces inthe Pacific were put on war alert some 10 days prior to the attack?
25 Nov. - Secretary of War Stimson noted in his diary "FDR stated that we were likely to be attacked perhaps as soon as next Monday." FDR asked: "the question was how we should maneuver them into the position of firing the first shot without too much danger to ourselves. In spite of the risk involved, however, in letting the Japanese fire the first shot, we realized that in order to have the full support of the American people it was desirable to make sure that the Japanese be the ones to do this so that there should remain no doubt in anyone's mind as to who were the aggressors."
