Smart. The war was lost, it was only a question of how long it would take. We knew it in DC, they knew it in Germany. As Chairman Mao said, "Never fight a battle you know you are going to lose."

The expression on the Germans face.....................he's scared out of his mind

You would guess after Peipers effort with the GI's at Malmedy why wouldn't he be kaking himself, like the Ausie troops in New Guinea after what they did to some of our troops including canabalism (documented cases) they certainly gave no mercy when locked in close quarter combat and hand to hand why would you when the enemy did that to your mates.

Then again it is easy to whip up a fervour in the masses if you get them to believe your cause as did that man Der F***r thank goodness the righteous won the day as I probably would not be here if the Allies had lost and for this I will be eternally grateful to those our allies that paid the ultimate price unflinchingly for the worlds freedom.......
