But Sweeney seems to be muddled up between the Waffen SS and those involved in concentration camps et al. The Waffen SS (with a few exceptions) weren't much worse than normal Heer and were involved in combat, rather than policing.
I can see why people don't want, on a day out, to have defend their views to John Sweeney, probably scared he'll shout
Though I particually like this quote
Yes, John, armies do tend to kill people in war-time. You could say it's in the job description.
Its a bit of non-story IMHO.
Didn't watch the programme but on principle I don't see anything wrong with battle recreations even if it involves people representing the Nazis. It doesn't need to mean they sympathise with their views at all.
Of course one or two symathisers might be there for different reasons but so long as the act itself isn't glorifying the Nazis then who cares?
if you watched the program, the leader of the group of plays the SS told all his members to shut up - when john sweeney was initally asking on why they ignore the fact the waffen SS killed pows etc to the point hey don't care, it's not THAT hard a question to answer
the german guy in the end was pretty scary, so was one of the guys who talked about how there was 'coons' he thought were really nice guys, but given the option to kill them all he would
the story, after having a read wasn't as dodgy as the program but the organisers and the renactments leadership were looking into allegations of their members as they are a non-political body
It wasn't to kill them, it was to ship them off.
Though it does show how stupid and blind these people are.
no he didn't say that
he said in the context of them existing or not
and the other section earlier quoted was
Well I can see it be bloody irritating when a journo comes in and starts asking stupid questions. Its not like there reenacting Ourador-sur-Glane.
Its a bit like going up to Cromwellian Sealed Knot re-enactors and asking why there being involved with re-enacting an army who were involved in the massacre at Drogheda
And frankly the remarks they made are made in pubs the length and breadth of the land.
OK it may not be nice, but its hardly earth shattering...
Any reason why he would feel to give the name of his Rabbi to John Sweeney? Is JS going to pop round to the Rabbi and check whether the bloke is a Jew?
I hate to say the Scientologists have a point, but I can see why they recorded him...
yup i know, i don't try to avoid that as a topic though
is there someone who knows where i can see these delivery online? I have see it her in the Netherlands but not compleet.
Thanks
Stefan
Translation?
Does anyone know where this chap can watch it online because he only saw part of it in Holland...
Youtube sometimes, but it might be a bit quick for that
Thanks for translation
Besides, everyone loves being the baddy, I know I root for the Empire in the Star Wars movies. The rebels winning is so utterly unbelieveable.
That's all I could - look. Understand? Now that's something different ....
I'm not sure Star Wars is meant to be believable
