One in 20 British schoolchildren thinks Adolf Hitler was a German football manager, according to a new survey

:doh:

Kids :rolleyes:

Stupid! Everyone knows he was the Austrian manager. :doh:

Oi, geezers, bloody veterans can't have both ways can they?...Who hasn't had a grandfather, uncle or other relative who fought in WWII and after demob never said a word about it, and yet they are moaning because kids don't know much about WWII, tchoo you could make it up could you...

does this mean those kids will hate ze germans without knowing why or does it mean the wont hate ze germans at all?

Oi, mush, is the answer to your question Doodlebug?...

come on I was being serious. in a sort of 'should we be remembering the war at all?' sense

Yes we should be remembering the war.

What's next, people?

Oi, geezer, should we be remembering the war? Of course, but not the battles and guns and tanks and planes and battleships, but the ultimate sacrifice by men women and children from all parts of the globe...

I mean we havent exactly been at peace since then...

Hitler :lol:

awful austrian

Oi, mush, I take your point but Western Europe, Japan and the good ole US of A have learnt not to shit in their own nests in terms of warfare...

Hasn't stopped them parking are tanks on other's lawns or ignoring genocides because there's no economic or political gain to be had by military intervention...

Australian....like that Fitzel chap. :good: easy mistake to make.

I have a question;

If Hitler said sorry before he shot himself, will he have gone to heaven?

Oi, mush, great question, I'm surprised it hasn't been asked before...

Rats!

I'm off to start a thread about what I am consuming at this present moment :good:

Oi, geezer, what music will you be listening to when you're banging away at your keyboard?...

I'll be appreciating Muse I think. Not that I'm, in any way, part of a clique.

Oi, mush, your guilty pleasure is safe with me...

Hitler? Top manager. We would never have conceded those two goals against Hammers if he'd been in charge.

we had to sell arshavin though

anyone with a 'tash that stupid has to be a maniac. We should remember even if Ferg & Rafa don't...

Is he blond??

:good:

I'm sure if Arsene were to wave some piano wire at the defence, they'd never let another goal in.

This is the same Daily Mail that, in 1933, published it's paper with a big picture of Adolf Hitler with the bold headline 'Britain needs a leader like this'. I kid you not.

Britain had to wait til 1979.

I went to the Cenotaph at the weekend which was a very emotional time but it filled me with pride to see our war heroes standing together wrapped in medals and honours :bow:

Before this I visited the Imperial war museum on Friday and whilst I was there a group of school children were on a tour and I watched in horror and disgust as one of the kids performed a Nazi salute and the others were laughing!

I held my tongue but it makes me sick at how disrespectful and unappreciative todays youth is in this country :banghead:

They were kids.

They were having a laugh.

Relax.

Having a laugh?? What's funny about performing a Nazi salute on Rememberance weekend in the countrys' central war/history museum?

They are kids

Kids are stupid

Simple explanation tbh

Although if you felt you should go up there and give them a whack then you have my support

:lol:

Karl Heydrich in 2010?

If I'd done that I'd currently be sitting in a holding cell for "Child abuse" :doh:

Because thats what kids do.

Those heroes died in the war so those kids couldhave a laugh, yet you tarnish their memory by pontificating over what should pass as humour for those kids.

What a backwards statement! "That's what kids do"

I suppose if kids broke into your mothers house and burnt it to the ground you'd say the same thing because "That's what kids do"

Those heroes fought for this country to remain this country and not to be occupied by German forces, it has nothing to do with the kids being able to go to a place of rememberance on the most important week of the year for those men and make a mockery of what they stand/stood and fought for!

You think kids joking around equates with breaking into a house?

Thank fuck the Nazis didn't win - otherwise people like you would be in a position of power.

No, but if "That's what kids do" is your answer to the original issue, if those same kids then went onto worse things, would that also be your answer?

I saw a thread about a couple of 10 year olds raping an 8 year old.

Is "That what kids do?"

"People like me"?? What, you mean British? Because I don't think children performing a Nazi salute in a place of rememberance is OK I'm suddenly some sort of censor?

Right, so now you are equating having a laugh with child rape?

Why stop there? I'm sure there are even far more hideous things you could equate it to.

Like supporting Spurs.

You've gone too far now :angry:

I'm not equating anything.

You're lumping "That's what kids do" as some sort of whole, that kids can do anything nowadays because "That's what kids do"

Kids CANNOT be allowed to perform a Nazi salute, especially not in the middle of a museum on the week of Armistice! It's not "Having a laugh" at all, it's a huge insult to anyone who fought/stood up against Nazism.

If it starts with Nazi saluting and is not responded to properly, it will lead to other things, worse things.

It's like drug users, they start off with something like marijuana and move onto stronger things.

He really isn't.
