I lived in Germany for four years back in the early 90s. The only reason they were pissed off with ww2 was because they lost. I’d hazard a guess and say they were as anti Jewish then as they were before the war.
The Nazis? A right shower of cunts, but don’t cod yourself into thinking the other crowd were worth joining. We saw enough of what they could do, or do you still think 2 million died on this island in the 1840s because 1 crop failed? The “famine” is right.
And it wasn’t just Ireland that saw the brunt of it. The first ever concentration camps were set up by the Brits in the Boer War. And you should google “Amritsar” and come back to us again and tell us how much of a disgrace it was we didn’t want to join the Brits
No offence but I’m not sure you are best placed to comment on this matter. The Americans had no trouble coming over and doing their bit to save Europe. It wasn’t Britain’s war. It was a world war and it is a disgrace.
I find them very hard to read, no much lightness or easy craic like you’d knock out of french or Spanish people. Honest, straightforward, but is there a hidden rage beneath it. Kinda like Harry Enfields German in the queue character.
They were defeated but willing to go on killing Americans to the last bullet. Their long standing tradition of suicide as an honour thing meant they would go on and on. The yanks knew they had to break them mentally to truly end them.
They were a bit strange but once they decided they liked you, you had a friend for life. I still keep in touch with a few I met over there. The biggest issue they have is that that they never have a plan b. By that I mean if something goes tits up they just down tools. It’s all about the process and if something breaks down, they cant deal with it. In fairness Paddy will try to climb over, go through, crawl under or go around if something goes wrong. The germans wont, they’ll just wait for someone else to sort it.
