A West Point Grad Wrote 'Communism Will Win' in His Cap

[Phr3121]

It's possible this guy is a genius. West Point grads are required to serve like 6 years after finishing. This could ensure his freedom.

Possibility of being a genius is very small, and I mean small, like .01%. Guarantee of being an idiot brainwashed by the liberal media = 100%. Five year requirement. Freedom from what? His stupidity? I bet he felt like a ton of bricks dropped on his head when he reported to his duty station at Ft. Drum, N.Y. 10th Mountain boys are having fun with 2LT Rapone. He is probably taking a knee when the Company forms up.

Except there's not a single reputable professional historian who believes the Operation Sea Lion was designed as a diversion. You're seeing hoofprints and thinking Zebras when you should be looking for Horses.

So it's your position that ALL historians disagree with Hitler, The German Generals commanding in the West, and with Churchill? What historians are these, if you don't mind?

Another factor to consider is that the Nazis, while highly skilled(at least at the start of the War)in convnetional military tactics, were far less impressive at the black arts of misinformation, psychological operations etc. Their attempt to use, "canned goods" - concentration camp victims dressed in Polish Army uniforms and dumped on the German side of the border to justify the invasion of Poland - was pathetically inept and fooled no one. The Nazi's efforts at intelligence gathering was also deeply unimpressive. Their attempts to set up networks in the UK was besmirched by MI5/6. The NKVD was so superior to the Abwehr that any intelligence operation the Nazis launched that resulted in losing less than 75% of their agents was considered a success.

You realize that Wilhelm Canaris, the Commander of the Abwehr, was an active British informant probably as early as 1939, right? And that he was executed for treason in the final days of the Nazi Regime?

Operation Sea Lion was high risk. But so was the Invasion of France; several of Hilter's most senior generals tried to disuade him from using Blitzkreig tactics, believing the French military was too strong. Hitler was a gambler. He ignored their advice and ordered the invasion.

What benefit would he have gotten from invading England? If England was so important that he considered invading it in any serious way, what was there to be gained?

There is little doubt that, had the Luftwaffe attained total air superiority, Hitler would have gambled they could have protected his troops against the Royal Navy. But even Hitler wasn't willing to risk such losses without the RAF first being utterly destroyed, which the Luftwaffe failed to accomplish

There is complete doubt, by everyone but you. You're treating nationalistic propaganda as if it's real history. You actually think he would have put his army onto river barges and attempted to cross the English Channel into the teeth of two superior navies while only being able to land a tiny, tiny number of troops per day? You actually think that?

Looks like he got the boot with a other than honorable discharge.

Bye Felicia.
