| What If? Alternate History: Speculate about WWII battles that never were. Could the Axis have won? What if Hitler had the bomb? |

It is more important to feed the own army rather than a bunch of prisoners, that are infact enemies.

You see if the Allies or the Red Army used such logic, then perhaps there were would be no Germany today......
|
Russia did infact use such logic. Look at the German prisoners taken at Stalingrad; almost all of them died in Russian captivity. As for the Western Allies (I'm thinking of the U.S. and G.B. here), they were in a safe position during most of the war and did not need to use brutal means to win. The U.S. never even risked defeat during WW2.

Re: Where would YOU serve in WW2?
I believe it is time you start a separate thread and continue your debate there. Thank you.

@Sloniksp
We can continue by taking it through PMs.
Same with anyone else who responds to my recent posts here, to prevent the thread from going off-topic.

Re: Where would YOU serve in WW2?
Earlier, I posted my choice of assignment. Well, with the help of Photoshop, here I am at age 19 ready to go with the rest of my crew! I'm 2nd from the right standing. The kid looks totally naive! LOL! (These other folks are re-enactors by the way)

I did a cursory head count and came up with too many, then I realized that there are two of the fairer sex in the picture. A nice contrast to the gorillas that round out the photo.

I'll give him the benefit of doubt and say he was just being sarcastic.
