Read a great book, The BRENNER ASSIGNMENT, this week. I’ve been studying WWII from over a decade and this is the best untold WWII story I have ever read. It should be made into a movie, it has all the right elements, an evil German counter-insurgencuy expert, a gorgeous double agent countess, and good ole fashioned American heroes with an unlikely twist at the end. http://www.brennerassignment.com

I landed at Naples on the heels of the retreating Germans who had destroyed the waterfront and had my first real contact with the war as a casualty replacement with the 45th Infantry Division a few days later north of the city.

I’ve always been fascinated by Northrup’s flying wing designs. It really is a shame that they were all scrapped. Did you know that one of the early small proof-of concept flying wings (the N9M) survived, has been restored, and is in the Planes of Fame museum?

On a very remarkable note today they found an unexploded British 500lb bomb in Salerno causing mass evacuations. Just happened to be on the 65th Anniversary of the Allied invasion.

Comment on Holocaust siblings meet after 66 years by Steven Terjeson

Steven Terjeson — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 04:50:36 +0000

The holocaust is mentioned because not only Jews were part of it. Yes they made up the largest segment of those that were affected and had the most direct action taken against, but there were many other ethnic groups, Pols, Slavs (as in the article), Russians, mentally and physically handicapped, the list goes on.

I posted your feedback here along with this reply so that hopefully you can understand this article was portraying a happy ending to the suffering the Nazi’s put so many people through. It was a holocaust the world was involved in, not just the Jewish people.

In no way did I take anything away from this article even suggesting the Holocaust didn’t happen, it is telling living proof that it did.

I hope you can be happy for these people who’s lives were broken apart for so many years and finally get healed before their deaths.

Comment on Holocaust siblings meet after 66 years by Mikhail Drabkin

Mikhail Drabkin — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 02:17:45 +0000

You repeat cheap propaganda on your web page.

Why is Holocaust mentioned in this article - the siblings are not Jews. So, is it to propagate the Holocaust brand, to poned to a certain segment of the Jewish CNN readers/managers or is it revisionsit hisotry? All those that make Holocaust a brnad name, like Xerox or Google, or Yahoo, or Mac… Holocaust in Darfur, Holocaust in Kosovo..

I am Jewish, my Dad was liberated by the Soviet Army in Poland after he lived through the horros of Riga ghetto and Latvian and Nazi killer actions.

So do not hang on me any of your labels of self-hating Jew, etc..

Shame on Linda Klein (I called her and expressed my outrage of abuse and cheapening of the Holocaust). I tried to reach Mathhew Chance, but there is NO WAY to leave a mesage on CNN; they say leave at http://www.cnn.com/feedback - amd there is no way to amil to them…

My comments, similar in nature to this one were NOT posted by the propagandists at CNN.

No woder people stop believing into Holocaust if there is this Holocasut industry at work…
