I checked them all, after all it is threatening, not most evil.

I know if I was in that position I'd probably be pretty scared of the US, UK, and USSR.


As a Wehrmacht soldier, you were only scared of Russians, since the US & UK were treating their PoWs very well.

I once read a quote from a German soldier...

"All you need to do in war is get on the side fighting the Americans, get captured, and live out the rest of the war in relative luxury". (it was something along the lines of this)

I don't know if I completely agree with that.  Being killed by the Americans or British is just as dead as being killed by the Russians.  I'm sure they feared being captured by the US or UK a lot less than by the Russians-but I'm sure they still feared the US and UK.

The point was that they'd rather be prisoners of the US or UK rather than of the USSR. If they were killed by any of them, any fear they had was short-lived :-X.

Seems like a rather silly and invalid question to me. :P

Multiple choice is evil. I checked all.

Ahoy.  Sabotage is a wonderful thing, isn't it? ;D

Russia was pretty evil too. Communism. Stalin sent all those smart guys to freeze in Siberia (I am smart, uh oh!). Those pillagin' Russian soldiers.

And Japan! OMG, China was the most horrible thing you've heard of! There's this retired Japanese IJA soldier on the teley who was in China. We said he had to cut this farmer's head off. He went to high with the axe and cut into his head! And then he went a little lower and chopped his head off! And I'm thinking, why has this guy told this story when this murderer should have been tortured and killed years ago!!!! >:( >:( >:(

Nobody could compare to the US in WWII, and here's why.  Though this doc referrs to the Pacific War, it's contents are obviously applied to all combattants and theaters of war.

Honestly I do think that most of these countries should have teamed up and kept their eyes on the USSR and Japan. Those two countries are the badasses.

And no, I'm not American. I don't agree with all American things. And I don't agree with all Americans (most of the ones I do though, hi Brandon! ;)) But I wouldn't say that the US wasn't [i]that[i] much of a badass, even though I looked at dcunning's good link (to a site I used to love looking at too, of to the Other Sites forum ;)).

Germany was a country with huge industry too. That's why they're perfect to be on an Allied team against the two you-know-whats. Only the Nazi party had the most badass ideas for Germany. If they hadn't got anywhere things would be good.


Happy flying,

Bombardier

Maybe he lost count before he started. He's more interested in opening things up than closing them. [We'll see if we got his attention.] ;)

I don't see why Germany was a badass. They were held back by the Versailles Treaty but it was only when Hitler came along with his Nazi goons that Germany was turned into a badass ::)

I wasnt implying that the country as a whole was a badass, but saying that the actions commited under it's flag were.

P.S That's probably my fault, I should have clarified.
