Hi Ashes.

Thanks for the links but like I said if you lift text from a source you should acknowledge this.

I think the main reason why I question your perspectives is that you give me the impression of not posting from a balanced viewpoint. Rightly you mention the horrors of the Nazi regime which were worse than any other regime in WW2, by some way. But because you make little or no reference to the fact that other nations were not totally guilt free it does mean that you sometimes come across as biased.

I think typing in text can sometimes obscure or even alter the gist of what one tries to say. You're obviously educated and have read up on the subject but a common theme does seem to run through your posts, that Germans are nastier and more capable of horrific deeds than other nations. Anyone who is even halfway principled is disgusted at how the Nazi's could treat their fellow human beings but the truth is that all human beings are sadly capable of such evil if the right sets of conditions are available.

For the record I thought your statement about Prokhorovka suggested that you hadn't read the more recent viewpoints of that battle. For the record I also agree with much of what you say, but not all.
