last thing I will say about this discussion and then i would request we move on from the SS bullshit.


...if I see anyone walking on the street wearing a SS uniform ill punch him no questions asked.

That's 2edgy

Will you do it for NKVD, Finnish Continuation War guys, Japanese impressions, Free French Army, or American bomber pilots?

No. You won't do anything.
Perhaps they were not responsible for murdering half of my family back then?

Sorry to hear about your family. It's damn hard to find an innocent country in WWII. Each had their fair share of killing prisoners, civilians, or putting people through hell. Putting it exclusively on the SS is a bit hypocritical.

Those damn American bomber pilots. With their jackets, and sunglasses...And bombs!

*spits*

Seriously though, there there guys. No need to get personal. This is exaclty why I wasn't sure to bring this up xD

Muricans, we respect your choice of impression and we believe you when you say you understand the 'weight' you carry with that uniform.

Howevvvveerrrrrr, you have to understand that my country (which happens to be that of Vince as well) has a pretty big WW2 trauma. The SS and their insignia are pretty much the symbol of pure evil in our eyes. You don't have to agree with it, just try to understand and we'll all live happily ever after, ja?

It's not personal for me. I had no family who saw the enemy's eyes in combat. Closest thing to that was a granduncle who served occupation duty in Japan with the 1st Cav in 1945-46. So yeah, not close at all.

I won't deny the USA did absolutely really mess up stuff during the war, most notably the bombing campaigns which includes the absolute destruction of Dresden. Other things were the unwarranted murders of German POWs which were very common leading to the end of the war and after Germany officially surrendered. I think they show a bit of this in "Band of Brothers" if anyone's seen that.

But could you imagine if we killed hundreds of thousands of Afghan civilians in bombing campaigns? We drop a few missiles on them now and people are flipping the hell out.

EDIT: If you really want the war crimes topic dropped I'd happily take it to PMs for anyone who wants to talk it out like men.

Nothing related to the current conversation, but I just got to interview the colonel of the 26th North Carolina for a school project. I've never talked to anyone who could say so much about the civil war in such a short amount of time, it was really an awesome experience.

Not yet, but as soon as I can get some money built up for the kit and graduate high school, (2 months), I will be.

Are they the guys with that snazzy website and trailer?
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

Definately snazzy and I loved the trailer.  I truly enjoy videos from the members in 26th NC.

Our group completely bans SS or soldiers wearing peadot without several documented cases of their unit wearing it. They're ok with me putting together an NKVD impression though, but as far as I can tell they've had a problem with neo nazis in the past and wanted to guard against it completely
