"What the fuck do you think this is you gormless Prat:"
Don't to talk down to me, you arrogant moron
Unqualified dismissal by his contemporaries who considered him an embarrassment is not reliable evidence - he epitomised the arrogance of the "Great Leaders" of the time and this particular boast about his own attitude is more than borne out by eye-witness statements that you have dismissed as "soldiers lies".
His grasp on history may be shoddy, but unless he was a raving liar, we have to accept that this was his own experience and view
Do you have any real evidence that this was the case - and if you have, are you prepared to share it with us?
This is only the second time you have ever offered "evidence" - hastily gathered from Wiki - lazy, at the very least.
The last time you brought up something I had already provided which contradicted your case anyway
You are an arrogant strutting moron pedaling jingoistic nonsense.
You said you were going to open a new thread - instead you have hi-jacked an existing one in order to resurrect arguments that were sunk two years ago - and uyou have bow been joined by your obsessive extremist mate.
A total waste of everybody's time
