    What that guy says is basically genocide - this makes him no better than nazies in my view, but since he is very old I can write it off as him being an idiot.
    An 89 year old guy who lost his fiancé is entitled to his opinion. In fact having lived through it and been impacted directly he has more right to an opinion than those once, twice, thrice removed Individuals who's opinions are based upon their limited experiences & a sense of poltically correct bandwagonism.
    What happens in General, stays in General.
    You know what they say about assumptions!

      Yes he did but that does not mean his view that every German is a Kraut that should be dead somehow acceptable.

      If he said that he would never forgive german bombers who did it, or their commands or Hitler and Nazies who started this tulip then it's another matter, but suggesting that effectively genocide is appropriate retribution to his loss is totally out of order.

        You can't blame people who weren't born when WWII ended for the acts of their relatives

        It's hard to know who'd feel though if I'd lived through the war. But whatever his thoughts we should know better

          Even Stalin said that son is not responsible for actions of father - and that scumbag is responsible for deaths of millions.

            Leave him alone. He's an old eccentric that did his bit and he's entitled to his opinion. Go find somebody of this generation that could fight sleep.

                A good thread and a news topic that needs debate, not that this thread will be consistent so expect it to deviate any time...
