14. During the war, captured German generals sent to Britain as POWs lived in luxury in Trent Park with garden parties and other entertainment. It was done to relax them in captivity. What they didn’t know was that the place was completely bugged with 100 “secret listeners” listening to the conversations as they spilled their secrets, including V2 rocket sites.
see sense...the Germans always thought they were smarter then others

24- Hitler was actually a stubborn guy who actually was fighting for the right cause. But considered bad because of his anti-Semitism conduct.

25- On Dday invasion at normady, If the general incharge had not gone home to celebrate his wife's birthday, Chances are the allies wouldn't have won the war.

26- The Extermination story was hoax and gas chambers have not been shown till today. What they keep showing is just the concentration camp (Austwicht) and Zyklon B at the time was somewhat like rat poison not for human.

27- Stalin was more evil and killed more people.

28- Contrary to the popular believe, US first sunk Japan submarine at port harbour before that Japan attacked.

29- WW11 shaped the current World we living in.

30 - Russia can never be defeated. Napoleon tried, he retreated, Hitler tried, he retreated that's why Nato had to be formed ganging up against Russia.

Nigeria fed allied soldiers with groundnut (pyramid of ground nuts in kano) and was thanked vehemently by the allies....moreover many nigeria troops were sent to the war of the pacific most especially BURMA! .

Battles were fought in Africa! Eg Montgomery and Desert Fox ( Erwin Rommel) battles were fought in northern africa, and africa troops were used by the allies, even Erwin Rommel's Army was named the 'AFRIKA KORPS'.

GUYS PLEASE IGNORE THIS POSTER ... MOST OF WHAT HE SAID HERE ARE WRONG


24. Hitler didn't have a good cause. The core of his Nazi agenda was that Germans with nordic ethnicities are the purest form of humans. That's a lie. There is no purity marker to separate races and the closest form of such would point the purest race to melanesians


25. The so called german general was one person who couldn't have changed the outcome. There were 6 german generals against generals from 13 different countries with over 150,000 foreign soldiers in a way that lasted months. So the bs this poster said here isn't true


26. A gas chamber is just a room without windows where poisonous gases are introduced using heavy duty trucks exhaust fumes. Detailed information on the gas chambers is provided by the Vrba-Wetzler report "Auschwitz Protocols", and the testimony of numerous staffs who worked there including Rudolf Höss, Commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Many chambers are still available to be seen today


27. More people died from WW2 than were killed by Stalin

28. Japanese attack on the US gunboat Panay in Chinese waters in late 1937. Japan later apologized. There is no history of US being belligerent before pearl harbour. US only placed oil embargo on Japan which angered them to bomb pearl harbour


29. Everything shaped the world we live in including colonialism. African nationalities was shaped by colonialism. WW2 affected how we live today but you cannot ascribe everything to it

30. Russians were defeated by several german armies in WW2. Most wars on the eastern front were fought in Soviet regions with high civilian casualties. Over 10 million soldiers and 17 million civilians as against 3 milkion germans.



I took my time to rebuff your silly lies because I am sure a lot of people will read the rubbish you posted and accept it as gospel truth. Do avoid posting rubbish next time, it hurts your credibility

My brother Hitler Committed the Holocaust, to me personally I felt that was what he came to this world for. Go to YAD VASHEM and see proofs. Don't forget killing of Jews stared in 1938 Nov 9th! Themed Kristallnatch(crystal night) Hitler and Stalin were both evil no doubt, but the unnecessary evil had to be taken out.

Actually they are smarter compared to Britains especially. Just because they were outsmarted doesn't mean they are not.
