on the Great barrier reef in Australia then two weeks later the kikes
put out a movie (well advertised) on National Socialist Gold off the
coast of Argentina , same footage , same wreck , some reproduction
daggers and a fake scull meticulously placed to suck in the ejots.

I didn't get my education from the TV you jack booted wannabe. Maybe you'd
like to mix it up mano y mano. Of course the last nazi master bater just
sent me (supposedly) anonymous emails telling me how superior he was.

Again, the 1,000 year Reich lasted 13 years. Not so superior.

Explain to me again why the Thousand Year Reich was a giant field of burned
out rubble at the end of 13 years. Doesn't seem such a difficult question
now does it?

Say didn't Nazi symps get beat up in England during the war? Was that what

As far as the 1000 yr. Reich ? May I ask in relation , Was there Weapons
of Mass Destruction found in Iraq ?
If the folks attacking me could read (as opposed to waiting for the
movie) Mien Kampf they could clearly see that AH had no intention of
taking over the World .
All the Corporations knew that (Jewish as well) , Texaco delivered oil
well into 1944 to Germany , Coke delivered cane sugar until they
realized the Third Reich was actually going to lose and approximately
the same time as Texaco reneged they told Germany to use sugar beet and
change the name (although revenue was still filtered through to Head
Office (USA)) , so 'Fanta' was born .

A masturbation? C'mon, it wasn't even that - just a quick tug with a slow,
dribbly, diseased finish. And, by the looks, a slow, dribbly, diseased
offspring, too.

I know, I know... do not feed the troll. But it's so much fun watching it  
dig into its pre-school vocabulary and herniate its infantile thought
procesess that I just can't resist.

Actually, while the Germans experimented with weaponry that could fire
around corners, they were pretty much like the Luft '46, being paper

the germans produced and used in combat a around corner gun.
it had a curved barrel that wore out quickly. i cite ian
hogg as proof.
the actual gun now is an isreali weapon. they also have an
m16 and grenade launchers that fire around corned.
the u.s. gun doe not fire around, ir see around.
Bigbilly - 29 May 2006 16:27 GMT
Almost Right, they (the Germans) produced an add on extra for Sturmgewehr 44
called the Krummer Lauf, a bent barrel with a periscope sighting device
that fitted over end of existing barrel. The production model could fire at
a 30 degree angle. The also had working prototypes for 45.60 and 90 degrees
and also had one for the MG42.

Isreali weapon here
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3324893.stm

But firing guns round corners was nothing new, all you had to do was poke
weapon round the corner and pull trigger. Hitting somthing with this method
might not have been so easy though!

Just a bit I missed on my last post
Sturmgewehr 44 with the Krummer Lauf WERE used in combat, albeit limited.
And that was 60 years ago, the US army are gona have to tinker a bit faster
if they wish to claim this one :)

I believe the chief purpose was to be able to fire over the top of defences
and from inside armoured vehicles rather than around corners although the
same attachment could be used for either.

No, not morons, they just don't care about accuracy. I am convinced that
frequently they KNOW they are making incorrect statements, but do so
because it makes a better or more exciting feature.  These guys are
video producers, not historians.  They do not have a historian's sense
of ethics.

It is an old trick in fiction to make a story better by claiming,
swearing that it is true.  I find History Channel, Discovery Channel,
TLC, and NG all doing this on their supposedly non-fiction productions.

It has been a trend in Hollywood too, in recent decades, to produce a
fiction movie in the style of a news story or documentary.

We as a society are starting to be unable to tell fact from fiction.
And I suspect few these days even care :-(

Im not sure all Historians have a sense of ethics, a lot come up with
ideas(later proved to be wrong) that are rushed to print to further there
ability to sell books, lecture, appear on TV etc, all to make money.
And what of the English "Historian" recently given 5 years in an Austrian
prision for claiming the holocaust never happened. When any right minded
person should know what went on

Im sure the history and discovery channel are giving there intial (US)
audiance exactly what they want to hear, we did it First, best, fastest,
more expensivly than the rest of the world, I watch a lot of these channels,
and am always left with the impression that the only participants in WW2
were the Japs Germans and the USA and USSR, Hardly any other mention of
others when in fact 16 nations fought in the italian campaign on the allies
side. Korea the same, Vietnam ditto, GW1.

Or even too produce a movie based on true events, then completely twist the
truth so they can get in a big name movie star or appeal to an American
audiance.
Great Escape(Steve McQ),  bridge on the kwai (William Holden), U571, are
three that instantly spring to mind but Im sure there are a lot more.

Actually, they often do just the opposite.  The history of early jet
engines is an example.  The conventional wisdom is that US was way
behind Europe in mid to late thirties.  The myth is that two lone
inventors, Hans Von Ohain and Frank Whittle single handedly invented
turbojet engine.  Actually, US had been working on idea also, for years,
and both GE and Lockheed had queried Wright-Pat about sending proposals
on jet engines.  Army said no at time (for reasons I won't get into for
reasons of brevity).  Actually, a contract was signed with four US firms
to develop GT engines days before GE got contract to develop Whittle
copy. These four engines were entirely US designs, and GE had two
compartmented programs, one for Whittle copy and one for their own
internal design.

TV histories never tell this side of story.

Also, US led in several other aircraft powerplant technologies.  They
did not go into production in large numbers, but if you think you can
avoid war for a few more years, in an era of rapid technological
development you can benefit by continuing R&D and NOT committing to
production.  Soviets benefitted by this strategy frequently during cold war.

Witness Dan Ackroyd's "documentary" about UFO's and the idiots who believe
it.

They forget that he is a professional actor who makes people laugh by
sounding sincere.

Exactly.  This is the kind of thing I am talking about.  I'm an ex AF
officer, and engineer with two aerospace firms who spent my career doing
 R&D. I can walk around WPAFB blindfolded.  The labs with frozen space
aliens are a bunch of crap.
