    lol i could be in but for the part of eyeglasses...yet that is quite absurd.
    Himmler himself was short-sighted, so not even the leader was perfect. Regarding being a good loking guy..i think it was sort of also an implicit requirement, i have seen very few pictures were ugly ppl are wearing ss uniforms

    Tastes vary, of course. And with the Propagandakompanienfield being controlled by Göbbels Propagandaministerium, would you expect to see published photos of Untermensch-looking SS? I think not.

    And what is prettier, the essence or the surface?

    Got a tiny bit of correction news for ya, there were no Waffen SS troops at Stalingrad. Now if you were only using Stalingrad as a term referring to the Winter of 42-43, then I withdraw this tiny correction.

    He joined the SS "much before" the requirements? But yet "he did not start the war as an ss"?

    As far as my limited knowledge goes for the enlistment requirements of the SS-Pvt. Pyle's posting makes no sense. Somethings starting to smell fishy here.

    Dont say im not a good man, few people like you were in such a danger as i was. I gave lectures of marx and lenin at university and was affiliated to the E.R.P during the 1976 dictatorship. Stayed in my country while many Liberals fled to exile in Europe and returned in democracy. And believe me it was pretty dangerous, some of my best pals were ¨dissapeared¨ by the militars (yet i would say that not all of them were killers). So plz dont underestimate my quality as man, i was not a war veteran but i would die for my ideals and risked my life for them. I believe despite major dissaproval in our final victory over the capitalist opression.
    Regarding the Falklands, im from argentina, you expect me to praise the British victory??? i feel our people have been stolen this piece of land which is so close to our country and yet doesnt belong to us. It tares my heart every time i think on it, it is a blow to my pride and to many latinoamerican brothers who support us on our fight.

    I have to say that as a re-enactor I always enjoyed the idea of there being various specifications to join the SS. At this point that according to my army ID I am 169 cm tall, I'm a young, fit and healthy troop leader, so much for requirements!

    Sorry. Still dosn't make sense to me. And do you think that having a avatar of Che might make someone think you are a communist? And do you mean a Nazi OR a Communist ? LOL Dont think you can be both LOL.

    "Originally Posted by Pvt. Pyle [​IMG]
    He joined much before.....he did not start the war as an ss but he joined encouraged by his father. Passed the first 2 winters in the eastern front
    (barbarossa, stalingrad)....he always told me that the t-34 where really good tanks,yet few soviet tankers were worth of using them."



    Looking at your statement it appears that you are impyling that he was a member of the SS BEFORE the requirements yet was not a member at the start of the war. It seems a bit confusing. So did he join AFTER the requirements were loosened? What part of the German military was he in before that?

    Does it really matter when he joined? Some of the older members here need to get out more.

    I'd respectfully disagree as I believe the Nuremburg trials found the SS a criminal organisation and rated all members as war criminals.

    I vote Taff on this one. :cool:

    I disagree. You think they knew the heart of everyone of those men who were in the SS? It was a honor to be one of them in the eyes of the German men. I know you had to be a member of the Nazi party to be one but that does not mean it was in their heart. I'm a Republican and I can not stand Bush or any of his policies. I will not vote this election because I do not like the choices I'm presented with. I'm sure there were members in the Nazi party who did not support their every belief or policy. Now I hope I'm not labeled a Nazi and I certainly do not support their beliefs but I am impressed with the quality of soldier and equipment they managed to put on the battlefield.

    Good points but I avoid making any such judgements along those lines myself when it comes to history. Regardless of what we may think either way the fact remains of that court handing down that judgement and hence officially they were. I will admit I am a little shaky on that particular part but I do honestly recall having read it, although if I'm wrong I would, as usual, be delighted to be proved incorrect. :cool:

    Bit worrying you feel the need to state about not wanting to be a nazi, but I suppose that's the world we live in. Fear not! I'm always interested in what folk have to say, and I'd not play that insidious card on well balanced comment. ;)

    I have seen a few neo-nazis on lesser sites, typically apologists and still trotting out some of Goebbel's finest work, not a hint of that from you so DON'T PANIC!:eek:

    cheers,

    Yes it does to me. It is confusing to me and was asking for a clarification. If you have a problem with it then you just use the option of ignoring it as it doesn't concern you.

    That does not mean every single SS soldier was actually a criminal. Considering later in the war it turned into a professional organised unit, many of which were some of the best soldiers in the German army. Now just because certain units were criminals in terms of mass murders and the like, that does not mean all are quilty. It is the same as saying all Germans were Nazis which is not the case.
