Get over it. They were doing a job, nothing personal. And, the best part is we kicked their a$$es.
No not Getting over it.
Your issue.
When interviewing members of the 101airborne, most held no animosity towards the enemy. It was a job they had to do, nothing more.
My father held no animosity. They shot at him and he shot back. He had his doubts about Nuremburg and killing the enemy leadership for the crime of losing the war.
Reading a book about the WW11 Finn sniper Simo Hayha. Over 500 kills.
“I did what I was told to. As well as I could. There would be no Finland unless everyone else had done the same.”
He was a Soldier.
Hardly an attempt to glorify anyone. Linking a song that was famous at the time of the war is no more glorification than building a diorama, a scale model or historical reenactments.
Besides many Kreigsmarine and Royal Navy crewmen who survived the war met later on countless occasions, there was no hatred between them.
Terry: Interesting to note that my best friend was a WWII RCAF Lancaster pilot who flew several missions from England to Germany . This was one of his crew’s favorite songs that they picked up on German radio stations at night. I’m sure they weren’t listening to Marlene Dietrich’s English version in 1944.
Sometime in the 1960s a British Airways flight approaches Berlin airport.
Pilot does something that angers flight control at the Tegel tower. “Is this your first time here? Haven’t you been here before?” scream Hans.
“Oh no, I have been here multiple times in 1944-45, it is just that we have never landed” answers the pilot.
That’s a good one!! LOL!!
Yes sorry lads I was just joking about the Nazis .Good lot most of them ,One has to admire dreams of world domination.Just doing there jobs Pity a million Jews got in the way.Any way righto and carry on
Very nice strawman.
BTW I have recently built a scale miniature model of Jagdpanzer IV, I must be a NAZI.
Please understand that my intentions were not to resurface old wounds or old subs. ”J’attendarai” or ”Komm Zuruck” in German were probably one of thousands of songs that opposing forces listened to on their radios while waiting for their next orders. As for the RCAF and RAF etc., they used radio stations as homing devices for navigation when flying over Europe. I don’t believe it had anything to do with loyalty.

Don’t underestimate the arrogant racism of the average Frenchman. My money is on Frenchy.
It is not racism, standing for your culture defending it from savage turd world invaders is not racism. But yes, the only reason invaders are allowed to run amok is because westerners are obsessed with political correctness. This will not last forever and once the levy breaks….
Remington has been lately buying and killing multiple brands. Para USA (Ordnance), Bushmaster, DPMS. Don’t like it, but I would still prefer Marlin to stay with Big Green than go to Ruger (spit). Sucks either way. Marlin on the other hand is one of my favorite gun brands. Just this August bought their 1894 Black carbine (yes it is a lever gun with a rail, yes I put a red dot on it, purists can start hyperventilating).
So sad that it took 50 years for someone to mention it.

Settled Science #1
Physicists build circuit that generates clean, limitless power from graphene
” it refutes physicist Richard Feynman’s well-known assertion that the thermal motion of atoms, known as Brownian motion, cannot do work” “they could serve as a low-power battery replacement” for phones etc.
“People may think that current flowing in a resistor causes it to heat up, but the Brownian current does not. In fact, if no current was flowing, the resistor would cool down,”
Well, yes, that’s because the current IS heating the resistor.
If you could make a graphene diode, then you might be onto something maybe. Even so, it is just converting thermal energy to electrical energy. If you made antennas tuned to very high frequencies, those of light, then you will have a better solar cell if you could have the light coherent. It would also allow modern data transmission techniques operate at incredible rates; now that would be stunning.
California’s Looming ‘Green New Car Wreck’
On September 23, California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order that will ban the sale of gasoline-powered cars in the Golden State by 2035.
In 2040, to keep the lights on with 25 percent of all vehicles in California being electric, while maintaining the state mandate requiring all the state’s electricity to come from carbon-free resources by 2045, California would have to blanket the entire state with solar and wind farms. It’s an impossible scenario. And the problem of intermittent power and rolling blackouts would become much worse
News events from the last two days have left me blue, so I did a bit of cultural-historical research on film, and came across this song, “The Zombie Stomp”, by the Del-Aires, in the widely-acclaimed movie, “Horror of Party Beach”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvjH57CUO7c
The Del-Aires were great in this flick, and helped make it the great film it turned out to be. There are a lot of Del-Aires numbers on YouTube. This 1964 movie, made on a $50,000 budget, helped spur on movies like “Alien”, “2001”, “Independence Day”, “Jurassic Park”, and other classics. /s
I might add the Del-Aires fine work in the classic movie spurred on contemporary bands at the time, banks like the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Four Seasons and others. /s

Parliament has been back in session for ten (10) whole days. Must not drive our enlightened leaders into exhaustion.
If Weinstein had committed these heinous acts with a Clinton client he would have committed involuntarily suicide by now.
This month it will be 50 years since the October Crisis in Canada. Here is a National Post article reminding us of that horrible episode in Canadian history:
Horrible for English-Canadians indeed. As for the hard-core separatists in Quebec (40% or so of the population), I am not so sure. The perpetrators of the kidnappings and the murder of Pierre Laporte got off very lightly and were accepted back into Quebec society. Have a read about Paul Rose, convicted of the kidnapping and murder. And note his infamous comment well after his crimes:
“I regret nothing: 1970, the abductions, the prison, the suffering, nothing. I did what I had to do. Placed before the same circumstances today, I would do exactly the same thing. I will never deny what I did and what happened. It was not a youthful indiscretion.”
Without a total reiteration of the whole biography of old man Trudeau, I believe the following was a true statement made by author Cathy O’Brien…
In her aurobiography “Trance-Formation of America” author Cathy O’Brien stated:
“Pierre Trudeau was in a fight to keep his private life private and that no other prime minister had been elected in Canada with less known about him, his policies, his intentions and his motivations.”
You can read between the lines.
When the country was put under martial law, I thought it was the right thing to do. People simply don’t murder politicians and get away with it. Since then, the gangsters who committed that heinous act were quietly let back into Canada and I’ve changed my mind.
Now, of course, we’re back to the situation that was imposed on us 50 years ago.
Total control of Canadians is the Trudeau model, the Communist model. It’s the War Measures Act, all over again, only we’ve no soldiers in the streets. They call it the Emergengy Act. Your mask is your protection, unless you are exempt from wearing one.
Nice game eh?
Le X-Box J.T. Part One: Covid-Dix-Neuf/ Nineteen
While we’re at it, let’s not forget what happened nearly 40 years ago:
Its now 50 years later, there is a redistribution of wealth, we are a ONE WORLD Government!
(read: get lots of ink, the printing press is rolling 24/7)
Game On:
Le X-Box J.T. Part 2: Destroy Alberta/ Mange La Merde Alberta
(With a sad, heavy heart and sarcastically, of course!)
Correction: Rather, 40 years later, not 50, for the N.E.P.
I was in Calgary during the late 1970s and that was the place to be if one was in the oil business. Back then, companies in town thought big and one region of the country that held promise was the Arctic.
There was drilling on island and the results were promising.
Several companies were looking at the Beaufort Sea, such as, I recall, Dome Petroleum and Imperial Oil. Those outfits pioneered the construction and use of artificial islands to facilitate off-shore drilling, the Beaufort being too shallow for floating platforms. In fact, there was so much activity up there that my father’s employer had considered the possibility sending him up there to do some machining.
All of that vanished overnight thanks to the NEP. Most of, if not all, the leases there were abandoned. Some of the people involved with that went to work in Norway and Russia, neither of which had any qualms about exploring for oil and gas in their Arctic regions.
We didn’t just lose prosperity as a result of that. We lost experience, we lost expertise, and, perhaps, technology as well, thanks to those two arrogant bastards PET and Marc Lalonde.
Upon both of them I micturate.
Yes, …”Bastards” and Commies!
If there was anybody back then who might have hated Alberta more than PET, it was Lalonde. Complete scumbag in my books. It was he who duked it out with Lougheed over the price of oil during the 1970s.
His performance as finance minister was equally as memorable in infamy. Thanks to his policies, I spent most of the early 1980s out of work.
They think they own us. I, for one, as well, couldn’t stand the crap they threw at us all. These commies and their sick policies hurt a lot of Canadians for no good reason. Did we get off oil, gas, plastics etc etc etc. Well no. And we never will.
Sincere apologies for dredging up this topic.
It’s a nice day and the Fall colors are at their peak, leaves changing colors on trees…its 22° — the best is in the West. They can’t take that away from us.
Sincere apologies for dredging up this topic.
None required. What PET did 50 years ago was bad enough. What he did in 1980 got personal and I’ve never forgiven him for punching large holes in my career.
Now that revoltingly cretinous son of his has re-opened the books on the matter.
As for the weather, it’s a lot like what it was when I moved back to Edmonton after leaving Vancouver in just over 40 years ago.
Us younger oil-patch folk have been told many stories about the bad NEP days and we understood what happened and we sympathized. But we never really, viscerally, understood, in our bones, and in our souls, until 2014 (Notley) and 2015 (Trudeau).
NOW. WE. KNOW.
This, too, shall pass. I hope. Ahem. I HOPE.
Chris:
I have my doubts about the business recovering after this prolonged assault.
Back during NEP I, it seemed like whole companies disappeared overnight. Dome Petroleum, which boss Smilin’ Jack Gallagher had mortgaged to the hilt, went belly up, only to be bought by Amoco later on. (I’ve got some stories to tell about that.)
A number of sub-contractors I remember from when I worked in Calgary more than 40 years ago likewise bit the dust.
Before NEP I, many oil companies had regional offices both in Edmonton and Calgary. The old Pacific Western Airlines (sometimes known as Pete’s Weird Airline after the Lougheed PCs bought it) used to run a 737 shuttle service each working day. By the time the NEP was gone, many of the Edmonton offices had closed and the staff moved to Calgary. (Mind you, some of that might be due to Don “Doofus” Getty deciding to make Edmonton the government town and Calgary the centre of the oil industry.)
As a result of NEP I, oil companies weren’t willing to be as adventurous in spending their money.
Now, because of NEP II, we might not have an oil industry left in this country.
“those two arrogant bastards PET and Marc Lalonde”
That’s why the Petro Canada Office towers are called Red Square.
They are actually red too!
“The illegally-commandeered HAMMER, however, has a secret log that preserves a record of those who accessed illegally-harvested files, according to Montgomery. That secret log also preserves a record of who sent out those illegally-harvested files and to whom or where they were sent.

Isn’t October 3 German reunification day? When the commies in east Germany reunited with the capitalist west Germans?

(With a sad, heavy heart and sarcastically, of course!)
Correction: Rather, 40 years later, not 50, for the N.E.P.
I was in Calgary during the late 1970s and that was the place to be if one was in the oil business. Back then, companies in town thought big and one region of the country that held promise was the Arctic.
There was drilling on island and the results were promising.
Several companies were looking at the Beaufort Sea, such as, I recall, Dome Petroleum and Imperial Oil. Those outfits pioneered the construction and use of artificial islands to facilitate off-shore drilling, the Beaufort being too shallow for floating platforms. In fact, there was so much activity up there that my father’s employer had considered the possibility sending him up there to do some machining.
All of that vanished overnight thanks to the NEP. Most of, if not all, the leases there were abandoned. Some of the people involved with that went to work in Norway and Russia, neither of which had any qualms about exploring for oil and gas in their Arctic regions.
We didn’t just lose prosperity as a result of that. We lost experience, we lost expertise, and, perhaps, technology as well, thanks to those two arrogant bastards PET and Marc Lalonde.
Upon both of them I micturate.
Yes, …”Bastards” and Commies!
If there was anybody back then who might have hated Alberta more than PET, it was Lalonde. Complete scumbag in my books. It was he who duked it out with Lougheed over the price of oil during the 1970s.
His performance as finance minister was equally as memorable in infamy. Thanks to his policies, I spent most of the early 1980s out of work.
They think they own us. I, for one, as well, couldn’t stand the crap they threw at us all. These commies and their sick policies hurt a lot of Canadians for no good reason. Did we get off oil, gas, plastics etc etc etc. Well no. And we never will.
Sincere apologies for dredging up this topic.
It’s a nice day and the Fall colors are at their peak, leaves changing colors on trees…its 22° — the best is in the West. They can’t take that away from us.
Sincere apologies for dredging up this topic.
None required. What PET did 50 years ago was bad enough. What he did in 1980 got personal and I’ve never forgiven him for punching large holes in my career.
Now that revoltingly cretinous son of his has re-opened the books on the matter.
As for the weather, it’s a lot like what it was when I moved back to Edmonton after leaving Vancouver in just over 40 years ago.
Us younger oil-patch folk have been told many stories about the bad NEP days and we understood what happened and we sympathized. But we never really, viscerally, understood, in our bones, and in our souls, until 2014 (Notley) and 2015 (Trudeau).
NOW. WE. KNOW.
This, too, shall pass. I hope. Ahem. I HOPE.
Chris:
I have my doubts about the business recovering after this prolonged assault.
Back during NEP I, it seemed like whole companies disappeared overnight. Dome Petroleum, which boss Smilin’ Jack Gallagher had mortgaged to the hilt, went belly up, only to be bought by Amoco later on. (I’ve got some stories to tell about that.)
A number of sub-contractors I remember from when I worked in Calgary more than 40 years ago likewise bit the dust.
Before NEP I, many oil companies had regional offices both in Edmonton and Calgary. The old Pacific Western Airlines (sometimes known as Pete’s Weird Airline after the Lougheed PCs bought it) used to run a 737 shuttle service each working day. By the time the NEP was gone, many of the Edmonton offices had closed and the staff moved to Calgary. (Mind you, some of that might be due to Don “Doofus” Getty deciding to make Edmonton the government town and Calgary the centre of the oil industry.)
As a result of NEP I, oil companies weren’t willing to be as adventurous in spending their money.
Now, because of NEP II, we might not have an oil industry left in this country.
“those two arrogant bastards PET and Marc Lalonde”
That’s why the Petro Canada Office towers are called Red Square.
They are actually red too!
Some mind blowing stuff here:

Make of it what you will.
“The illegally-commandeered HAMMER, however, has a secret log that preserves a record of those who accessed illegally-harvested files, according to Montgomery. That secret log also preserves a record of who sent out those illegally-harvested files and to whom or where they were sent.
President Obama, Brennan, and Clapper did not know about this secret log.”
If true,interesting days are ahead.
I guess it would not be politically expedient to arrest a former President just before an election.
However just after one would be glorious entertainment.
In Part 3 of 3 there’s stuff that will blow your socks off.

Astounding!
A collective IQ no more than Justin Trudeau’s.
They watch the MSM– if that at all.
Every night the 3 broads have an anti-Trump dig and quite often something about Alberta, mostly negative. Rarely anything about B.C. Saskatchewan, Manitoba, or the Maritimes.
Nancy – Who are the “3 broads”?
The Green Party AKA the irrelevants have elected a new leader
Isn’t October 3 German reunification day? When the commies in east Germany reunited with the capitalist west Germans?
When the wall came down it did more than reunite the Germans. It unleashed communism on the rest of the free world.
