    It was the stated policy of the Nazis to kill, deport, or enslave the Polish,Russian,and otherSlavic populations, whom they regarded as Untermenschen ("inferior peoples"😉, and to repopulate the land with reinrassig ("pure breed"😉 Germanic ...[text shortened]... ral surplus to feed Germany and allowing their replacement by a German upper class.
    What always surprised me about Hitler was
    he did not look like the role model he was trying to create.

    He was not six feet tall athletic blond and blue eyed.

    He did not epitomize the aryan race that he said Germany should consist of
    when he was getting rid of all these other people who did not fit the bill.

    He wasn't even a German himself. He was Austrian.

    The original Rus were from Sweden and were not Slavic. Hitler admired those but didn't consider them "real Slavs".

    Take a look here:

    He was a Germanic fanatic - not German, big difference - who was freaking out because there were too many Slavs in Austria in his opinion.

    That is correct. But De Valera was an unusual man.

    In the war of Irish Independence De Valera, who was seen as the chief,
    had many political battles with Michael Collins who in my opinion
    would have been a better leader. But sadly he was shafted by De Valera
    and later he was shot.

    De Valera went on to be Leader and later President of Ireland.
    I never had any time for the man or his party which today is called
    Fianna Fail which means Soldiers of Destiny.

    Another thing that happened was that after the war
    Ireland became the first country to play Germany in
    international football.

    That's why the German away kit is green.

    Isn't your reference to Soviet POWs anachronistic? There were no Soviets until after WWII? Were there?

    Soviets took power in Russia in 1917 and the USSR was born in 1922.

    Wasn't aware Soviet was equivalent to Bolshevik.

    "Second Amendment Rights"

    "Don't Curb Our 2nd Amendment Rights"

    (Or do you mean do not curb your incorrect interpretation of incred ...[text shortened]... l of Rights is not absolute. You can't cry "fire!" in a crowded theater, for instance.)
    You also can't take others rights by robbing them with a gun. The spirit in which the second amendment was written is purdy much self explanatory. Ball peen hammers have been used more for murder than an AR style gun. So why the big push to confuse what the second amendment is about when a crazy man shoots children in a school that did not have proper security?
