A Nazi invasion of the US would not be the same. If there was an armed population the Nazis would just flatten the town by air as a statement to the next town. They wouldnt be knocking on doors looking for the enemy like the US has to do in Fallujah.

Knocking on doors?
Not exactly. Here is a recent thread about how they conduct business in the middle east.

Anyone trying to carpet bomb American towns will go broke in no time. It's a big country with thousands of towns...

So your going to take one proven instance and provided it as a basis that the American's are doing this everywhere.

Bravo.

Cowperson

Did you read the companion piece "My Father's Son" which was a publication of all of the letters back and forth between Mowat and his family during his service in WWII.

Its a tremendous book and adds to No Birds

Extreme right wing movements seem to be on the rise in many places in Europe, so it wouldn't surprise me if this question really does become relevant sooner or later. For example, in Hungary and Austria, there have been politcal gains by such groups. Hungary's recent election showed a 17% support for their right wing facsist party and supporters of the party often refer to Budapest as "Jewdapest" and use bumper stickers that say; "Jew Free Car".

As economic times stay shakey, I think we can see a lot of extreme views become more mainstream. In Greece, a lot the violent protests are being orchestrated by the communist party and Hrisi Avgi (basically the Greek Nazi party).

Russia has a larger airforce but with mostly "aged" equipment nowdays so I wouldn't even give them much of an advantage there either.

Man in Black: All right. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right... and who is dead.
Vizzini: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You've made your decision then?
Vizzini: Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
Man in Black: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
Vizzini: Wait til I get going! Now, where was I?
Man in Black: Australia.
Vizzini: Yes, Australia. And you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You're just stalling now.
Vizzini: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.
Vizzini: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS!
Man in Black: Then make your choice.
Vizzini: I will, and I choose - What in the world can that be?
Vizzini: [Vizzini gestures up and away from the table. Roberts looks. Vizzini swaps the goblets]
Man in Black: What? Where? I don't see anything.
Vizzini: Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. No matter.First, let's drink. Me from my glass, and you from yours.
Man in Black, Vizzini: [Vizzini and the Man in Black drink ]
Man in Black: You guessed wrong.
Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...
Vizzini: [Vizzini stops suddenly,his smile frozen on his face and falls to the right out of camera dead]
Buttercup: And to think, all that time it was your cup that was poisoned.
Man in Black: They were both poisoned. I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.

Anyone seen the movie SS Doomtrooper?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795457/

It was on movie central like 2 years ago and really documents the war well. I think we would all be in for a good Nazi fight based on the reality of that movie.

Lol... 2.7 IMDB rating

It is somewhat of a love movie. But a G.M. soldier is "invented" by a Nazi scientist. The soldier is a big zombie that has electric powers. Of course, it takes the whole movie to stop it. That is a prototype, but they are making even more. The monster is nearly impossible to defeat, but it is eventually stopped by a fearless soldier. The soldier dies in the process of killing the nearly unstoppable soldier, and three people make it out alive. The soldier, mad and ferocious, ends up killing some Nazi soldiers in the chaos. And of course, it does not stop there. It kills its maker and destroys the castle with its own explosion. So, the female and male soldiers end up falling in love. Written by Godsmacker5500
As WWII is winding down, the Nazi's have developed the uber weapon, a super soldier, a blueish pink version of the Incredible Hulk. A team of Allied soldiers, including a snooty Frenchman, "Brooklyn" (with the heaviest of fake accents) among others is sent behind enemy lines to destroy this secret Nazi weapon. Written by Cobram

You're right.
I should have mentioned the drone attacks in Pakistan/Afghanistan.

If you think the wiki leaks video was an isolated incident, you're kidding youself.

I didn't say that, but your making it out that American's are over there for the butchery and killing. rumbling A130 gunships over schoolyards while the killings good.

The Nazis stamped it with 'Canadian Meteorological Service' and it wasn't identified as a WWII relic until the early 80s. It had sustained damage but it could have from polar bears for all anyone knows.

See that map... Look at all that land that is now "polish"

Okay... but why is that land German? It was Polish before the Teutonic knights conquered it for what would be Prussia so there is an equal argument that that land is indeed Polish. It all depends on your historical frame of reference. A unified Germany didn't even exist before 1871. Stating that parts of modern-day Poland are indisputedly German echoes the same claims that the Third Reich had made in justifying their invasion in 1939.

Some people in Lithuania consider a large part of Poland to be "Lithuanian" land.

My Family believes that most of Germany belongs to us. So to the German people . . . Get off of my lawn

And it wasn't too long ago Canada didn't exist either. If you go back far enough, everywhere was conquered at least a few times by someone, from someone else. It's stupid for someone to think of their "ancestral homeland", as it's generally a fairytale. An evil fairytale, that causes grown men to get greedy for what they think they can justify taking from the only people who actually matter - the people currently there.

Hell, yeah. I'd volunteer to fight the Nazis. Those guys are well into their nineties by now and I'm pretty sure I could annihalate one of them with a single punch while posing little risk to myself.

So I guess you would have volunteered to fight the USA over its segregation laws aswell? Austria was forbidden from joining Germany by the Treaty of Versailles. Imagine if Newfoundland had been forbidden from joining Canada.
