Wow. The Greatest Generation is weeping right now. My uncle was in WWII and he helped liberate one of the camps in Poland. Trust me. It happened. He would tell stories that kept me up at night. In their rush to leave the Nazis left some of the gas chambers with bodies still in them.
The Russians liberated the Polish camps (ie the death camps) when the Allies were still in Germany.

The bullshit alarm is ringing off the wall.

How's your cousin Barrak?

Isn't Dachau in Poland?
He couldn't be my cousins, the brother is a brother...we don't got too many of them around these parts.

Hes not even a "plastic paddy", he's like 3 generations off that.

Still gonna tell me how the Americans liberated the Polish camps when most of Poland was Russian occupied before the Allies showed up?

He's black irish. ;)

It was Dachau. My mistake. I thought it was in Poland. He fought in three wars (actually one war, one conflict and one police action) and I have memory issues. I apologize.

No apologies required, mistakes are made regularly...the memory issues are usually related to the base purpose of this site, and it's usually a sign you're doing it right :joint:

Late in the afternoon of 29 April 1945, KZ Dachau was surrendered to the American Army by SS-Untersturmführer Heinrich Wicker.[SUP][citation needed][/SUP] A vivid description of the surrender appears in Brig. Gen. Henning Linden's official "Report on Surrender of Dachau Concentration Camp":
As we moved down along the west side of the concentration camp and approached the southwest corner, three people approached down the road under a flag of truce. We met these people about 75 yards north of the southwest entrance to the camp. These three people were a Swiss Red Cross representative and two SS troopers who said they were the camp commander and assistant camp commander and that they had come into the camp on the night of the 28th to take over from the regular camp personnel for the purpose of turning the camp over to the advancing Americans. The Swiss Red Cross representative acted as interpreter and stated that there were about 100 SS guards in the camp who had their arms stacked except for the people in the tower. He said he had given instructions that there would be no shots fired and it would take about 50 men to relieve the guards, as there were 42,000 half-crazed prisoners of war in the camp, many of them typhus infected. He asked if I were an officer of the American army, to which I replied, "Yes, I am Assistant Division Commander of the 42nd Division and will accept the surrender of the camp in the name of the Rainbow Division for the American army.[SUP][non-primary source needed][/SUP][SUP][undue weight? – discuss][/SUP]

iran would long since have been off our shit-list if they would stop their rhetorical war-mongering, constant threats to israel, the US and anyone else who they find to be a useful menace to keep their populace in line, their refusal to abide by the treaties they signed (nuclear non-proliferation for example) and their continued indulgence in all the worst aspects of socialist dictatorship without the silver lining of atheism.

iran NEEDS to be on the brink of conflict with somebody, and the best somebody to be on the brink of conflict with is the US since we REALLY REALLY dont actually want a war, so we bribe,, schmooze and caress every petty despot who wants a nice wet hummer and a sandwich while he oppresses his victims.

who better to shake down than the richest most kind hearted woolly headed liberals on the planet? thats the US by the way.
Not completley true, Iran has always allowed inspectors from the IAEA to inspect they're non-weaponised facilities. By all means they might have some secret facilities or IMHO they have already purchased something from Pakistan, China or Russia, as a deterent to a Israeli fisrt strike.

They also have thousands of silkworm missiles ready to destroy oil facilities in Saudi Arabia should it come to that. They don't need to attack the US mainland, they could cripple the US economy, based on petro-dollars, by proxy.

Israel actually has never let IAEA inspectors in to view their over 200+ nuclear weapons, will not sign non-proliferation treaties and are the biggest violators of UN security council resolutions. They are the cause of tensions in the middle east. The state of israel came about through a backroom deal with the Rothschilds & Kermet Roosevelt Jr (paying of central american countries to vote in favour at the UN).

The US can't play favourites in the mid east, especially in the current climate. I'd also like to see Israel sabre rattle when the US isn't standing behind them with a big gun!

The mainstream media in the US has repeated blatent lies about Iran, distorting the truth to fit they're western view of the region.

A book i thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in the geo-strategic & geo-political and would like a better understanding of the Iraninan regieme is " The devil we know" by Robert Baer.

Iranian citizens can enjoy a 25 - 30% interest rate for private, not commercial, savings accounts.
I know where your going with that, there's no Hyperinflation in Iran. http://www.businessinsider.com/actually-there-is-no-hyperinflation-in-iran-2012-10

Contrary to media reports, you can't compare US dollars to rials. US dollar is actually worth 4c.

Also, contrary to reports that sanctions are affecting iran, they're not. Countries that want to buy their oil can apply for a 80 day excemtion from UN santions, so they can trade with the regieme.

The US is the only country that really supports the embargo.
