Oh, bull.  "The Koran or the sword."  

I can say the same thing about Christians.  But I also
know about the Albigensian Crusades ("Kill them all; God
will know their own.")  In almost any century, the majority
of violent deaths is due to one religion trying to suppress
another.  And it goes on today (look at Israel) without
any slowdown.  A religion presecuted in one generation will
go on to presecute another religion, often within the same 
generation.

The meek shall inherit the earth because that is the only
way they will get it.

The USA has remained an occupying army since W.W.II.  No one can
really deny that.  The US Army has been on the Rhine longer than
the Romans.

What are they doing there?  Another question.  But when sending
troops to Bosnia, Haiti and other countries we should withdraw 
them from a few.  At last count, the USA had occupying armed 
forces in 55 countries.

Jimmy Carter withdrew our army from Korea.  Right?  No, 200
left with great fanfare and 5,000 were added quietly.  A lot
like Bosnia.

Yes, but remember that the "Kaiser" was the Austrian Emperor, as

Keep in mind that the USA got to Jena first.  The USA
took (stole, if you will) everything they wanted, including
workers.  The looting of Zeiss, Jena was headed by Zemke,
who wrote a full account in "Zemke's Stalag".  435 individuals,
plus several train loads of equipment, were moved to near
Munich.

The USSR was very upset about the fact "that the best of
Zeiss had been snatched from underneath their noses."  Zemke
had to leave quickly to avoid arrest.

As I believe has been pointed out, 1942 was too late.  In fact, 
Hitler did try to achieve a peace with England between September,
1940 and the spring of 1941.

Churchill rebuffed any suggestions of peace.  One can discuss
why, but it seems clear that the "war or peace" question was
in the hands of England, not Germany.

>How do you define an act of resistance ?

A very key question.  I knew Arie Bestebrutjie of the Dutch
Army and used by the SOE for eight drops into the occupied
Netherlands.  He said that the problem was NOT the lack of
active support for his activities, but the level of passive
acceptance (often active acceptance, if one counts refusal
to talk in the face of acts of retaliation).

He said that the passive acceptance of 85% of the population 
was necessary.  so, by his standard, and he was there, 85%
of the population had to be in the resistance.

Yes there are seven.  As you probably use ASCII, they are
Э, Д, Ж, э, д, ж and ъ.  These characters may be written
as ue, ae, oe, Ue, Ae, Oe and ss.  Anyone with any
familiarity with German will be able to provide the correct
special letter, or dual letter replacement, from the 
rest of the letters in the word.  Even Эъ (uess) will
cause no problem.  In fact, I don't think that there is
any case in which there is more than one credible solution.

The German airborne invasion of Crete.  6,000 airborne troops, 
without any sea lift support, invaded Crete, which was defended
by 23,000 British troops, who were supplied by sea at the rate
of 3,000 tons a day (true, 30,000 were shipped and 90% were
sunk), plus countless Greek soldiers and local defenders.

The Germans had no tanks, the British had two.  The Germans 
had no heavy weapons, no antitank guns.  The airport was
held by the British.  Yet the Germans won, albeit with 25%
dead, plus other casualties.

The two words are not really interchangeable.

American is either a noun for a person coming from the USA or
an adjective.

USA is a place, and not regularly used in English to identify a 
person from the USA.  "A USA citizen" is not usual; "an American
citizen" is.

America = USA to most English speakers -- but North America
includes Canada and Mexico.

Ah, but the English is not graceful.  In fact it is a poor

the author understood what he was trying to say.

I am still trying to understand what the author was trying 
to say (albeit incoherently) in English.  How can one
translate into another language that which is not clear in
the original language?

The English meaning is FAR from clear.

I suggest that what was probably meant was that "By listening
to ...., I got the idea for my business (or whatever)."  But
the incongruity between the subordinate clause and the
independent clause is profound.

Does anyone in German care about this issue?  It seems that
there is enough wrong for both sides to take a double 
serving.  

So what?  

Get on with life.

I tried a post on this subject.  Sadly, no one in Germany cares.

On second thought, perhaps that is good.  :-)

Do you think that all members of the US armed forces during
WWII were members of the Democratic Party?

Only if I can use "Democrat" as synonymous with"American".

It is an error to attribute to Isaelis the attitudes
of Americna Jews.  Yes, there are a lot of liberal
(socialist) people in Israel, but in general American
Jews are more socialist and liberal (in that they are
not forced to live under as socialist a regime as
Israelis.  And American Jews are almost all anti-
military, even though the USA military has been a
mainstay of Israel's military.  There are a lot of
militant Jews in Israel, and in general, the more
militant Jews in Israel draw their strongest 
support from the more anti-military Jews in the
USA.  

Go figure.  One might be tempted to say that 
Jews are their own worst enemy.

A few hundred thousand.  All together, the non-Jewish,
non-Polish, non-Russian and non-Gypsie holocaust deaths
were about 500,000.  They include the "euthanasia"
deaths and Germans of many other "unapproved" views.
