Bullshit! The Germans were outnumbered and outgunned plus the German enigma code was broken plus fighting 3 superpowers.

Wilhelm Franz Canaris was a German admiral and chief of the Abwehr, the German military intelligence service, he repeatedly betrayed Germany, some people can slide this under the table and pretend it never happened, and just tap themselves on the shoulder.

The Asian German soldiers shown are Korean men forced to fight for the Japanese. Only to be captured by the Russians and made to fight for the red army. Then taken as POWs by the Germans, but soon conscripted to man the western wall. Finally as shown captured by the allies. What an amazing experience!

It is just the result of the Jewish/Allied anti-German smear propaganda that so many people think that Germans are (or always were) racists. But the truth is that Germany probably is (and always was) the least racist country in the world. That includes Nazi Germany (1933-1945) The Aliied anti-German smear propaganda for at least 50 years after WW2 was such an effective brainwashing, that even many young Germans finally believed that Germans are the most racist people in the world. The truth is the exact opposite of this Allied/Jewish smear propaganda: The Racism (including the anti-Semitism) in France, Poland, GB and the USA was MUCH bigger than in Nazi Germany. For instance at least 5,000 Jews openly served in the Wehrmacht. Among them 2 Generals and 16 Colonels. Just google for "Jews in the Wehrmacht". The SS was the most multi-ethnic army in history. The statistical evaluation of the dog tags of the SS-soldiers KIA defending Hitler's bunker against the Red Army found, that only 40% of them were Germans. 60% of them were FOREIGN VOLUNTEERS from 36 countries all over the world, including even Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, Black, Brown and Asian soldiers.Many foreign ethnical groups even had own divisions in the Waffen SS. You should get used to the fact, that the reality of Germany (during WW2 and after was and) is TOTALLY different from the propaganda bullshit written in school books or shown in Hollywood propaganda movies, which mostly were produced by Jewish directors. By the Internet today the whole information gets available, which often never made it into mainstream media or mainstream history books up to now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYrQm4SwpbhnaZY kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqWtgp-tYr-dipY

You are right, nazi Germans were the least racist people ever especially the least antisemitic, Jews had more rights in Nazi Germany than in any other country in history. Also nazi philosophy stated that all races and nations are equal, and should have the right to thrive, you may read a lot about it in Mein Kampf and hear about it in Nazi documentaries. German solders were given leaflets reminding them that in occupied countries indigenous populations are their equals and should be always treated well, especially Russians, Poles, Serbs, Greeks and the like. Irony aside when war in the East turned sour Germans would draft anyone as they being a relatively small nation desperately had to deal with shortage of soldiers, especially cannon fodder on eastern front.

It took more than a month for the Allies to get out of Normandy, headed to Belgium. So when did Eisenhower & Marshall fly into the coast?

No, they use highways now. In fact, some European air forces use them all the time. They stop traffic for take off and landing.

Winston Churchill accompanied by the two senior British army leaders, Field Marshalls Montgomery and Alan Brooke.The latter, both from Northern Irish Ulster/Scot families. The leader of the SAS at this time, was also an Ulsterman. This part of the U.K. must have something in its water.
