You forgot to mention that the superior officer must be an American because usually the Brits do everything the Americans want them to do.

Obviously some Franzmänner have realized that Sauerkraut tastes better than froglegs.

I would like to do that! But first I have to throw some Handkäs into the face of a well known french panelist.

Maybe you should ask Königin Elisabeth von Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha. Give it a rest, mate! OK!

Don`t you use "?" in France when you ask questions? In Germany we do! In Great Britain, too! By the way: How did the Froschschenkel taste today?

Maybe you should ask Königin Elisabeth von Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha.

You are obviously a sad, intellectually-challenged kraut with a whole heap of chips on your shoulder. All you r petty, trivial, puerile comments have been made before by other fellow sausage-guzzlers. Prince Harry may have stupidly worn a nazi costume (in jest) the one time. Howe many of your ancestors were proud to don Hitler's uniform (and follow him to hell)???? As for sport, what has a unified Germany achieved? Finally, as they say in Latin, you are "infra dignatum" Long lives Queen Elizabeth of Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha! It`s allways a great pleasure for Germany that Great Britain is ruled by a german Queen!

More than the French? Surely not. Or even the Argies (see earlier contributions)...... Argies! In Europe! Man the lifeboats! Great Britain? In Europe? What has Great Britain to do with Europe?? I have heard that Mr. Bush will proudly declare England to the 51th state of America because of the intensive arse-licking-policy of the Brits. Can you PLEASE confirm you are neither German, French, Argentinian nor Tongan? That way your posting can be read in context with earlier contributors. Thank you Gout: Eich soin aus de Werreraa!

Let me see: Germanys football sucesses: World champion in 1954 World champion in 1974 World champion in 1990 European champion in 1972 European champion in 1980 European champion in 1996 And now to Englands football sucesses: World champion in 1966 (Wembley-swindle!) Second world champion-title of 1966 (in the parallel-universe) World champion 6 years after 1960 World champion 4 years before 1970 World champion 66 years after the beginning of the 20th century World champions 34 years before the beginning of the 21th century World champion in 2004 (if championships would have taken place in 2004) Result: I have to beg your pardon: England is the best football team of the world!!

Obvously the ramblings of a demented individual..... We have a well known expression for incompetence in this land of enlightenment. It's"(he/she/they) couldn't organise a p*ss-up in a brewery." I suppose the Germanic/Teutonic version is "Couldn't organise a detonation in a brewery" as an expression of incompetence. (In case you didn't know, Rockabilly. Elsner attempted to kill Hitler in the Munich brewery "Bürgerbräukeller".) It's always Germans and beer (or there's a brewery involved). The way I see it, Elsner was a bumbling alcoholic, whose focus was on the sauce and not on the detonation. I will not enter the football debate as it's pointless debating with a sore loser. At least we have beer in Germany! In England you don`t need a bomb to kill someone in a brewery or in a pub: Just let him drink some of the so called english "beer" and he will pass away within seconds! Or at least he will loose all of his brain cells By the way: You`re the best example for this second alternative

First I have to correct one thing: Elsner certainly ignited the Bomb in 1939 and not in 1933. But now to your statement, One Man Jury: You`re absolutely right!: Germans usually run away when they ignite a bomb. Certainly a Brit probably would wait right beside the bomb - just to be shure that it really explodes!

You are obviousliy suffering acute mental flatulences! You must be from England! This superb connection of stupidity and arrogance is typical for all of you Insel-Affen. First you defame Schmeling then you defame Stauffenberg. How will you defame Georg Elsner, the man who ignited a bomb to kill Hitler in November 1933? Oh....I`ve forgotten that you`re from England. Probably you never heard of him! Guys like you only know people who who did NOT score goals !

My point was that at first Schmeling didn't have a problem with Hitler, If he really disliked Hitler why would he have anything to do with him at all. First of all Fritz Lang was Austrian not German, he was also only half Jewish. Goebbels new of his Jewish heritage but wasn't concerned because Fritz would clearly have been an asset, like Lenni Riefenstahl. Had he stayed in Germany to make Nazi films they clearly would not have had him killed. The reason he fled was because he refused to have anything to do with the Nazi party and he would most probably have been forced to work for Hitler. The thing to remember about Nazi Germany is that the Nazi party was elected by the people (i think it was 60% for, 40% against but that could be wrong). So how could he possibly love his country during the Nazi reign if he didn't like the Nazi's, surely he would have hated his country at that time because of his hatred for the Nazi's I never said Schmeling was a Nazi. Besides saving two Jewish lives is not evidance. We all know Oskar Schindler saved thousands of Jewish lives but he was a member of the Nazi party. Although i do respect that had he have left the party he wouldn't have been able to save as many lives, but he was a Nazi long before he was a Jewish life saver. I am not saying that Max Schmeling was a Nazi or approved of the Nazi's but the fact remains that in the beginning he was well liked by the Nazi party and he didn't appear to have a problem with them. I would have thought that if he truly hated the Nazi party he would never have had anything to do with them at all. Schmeling was the No.1 sportsman in Germany at this time. How shoud he avoid to meet Hitler? Please tell me: What should he have done to show his dislike of Hitler? Hitting an Uppercut in Hitlers face when Hitler met him? By the way: At first not only Schmeling had no problems with Hitler. Many Germans didn`t see Problems - that`s why they elected the NSDAP. Most Germans didn`t know an realize what maniac Hitler was when they elected the NSDAP in 1933. How should they know? At that time Hitler didn`t kill one single jew. Do you think that every elector of the NSDAP read "Mein Kampf"? Fritz Lang was born in Austria - that`s right - but later acquired the German citizenship - like Hitler! In 1935 he acquired the American citizenship. So call him what you want: Austrian, German, American - it doesn?t bother. Fact is that he made Films in Germany and that he was jewish. Half-jewish or jewish didn`t make much difference in the 3rd Reich. In 1933 the NSDAP was elected with 43,9 %. This was before the first concentration camp was erected. I didn`t say that Schmeling loved Hitlers Germany, I said that he loved Germany - that`s a little but fine difference, my friend. Did the Americans hate America during the times they nearly wiped out the indians or enslaved the blacks? I don`t think so! The end of your comment contains a very important message: Schindler was a member of the NSDAP. Schindler saved many jewish lives. So he was a honorable man. I don`t differ in opinion. But that means that not everyone who was a member of the NSDAP liked to kill jews. When this is true then it is also clear that not everyone who elected the NSDAP wanted to exterminate the jews. Remember: The NSDAP (DAP) existed before Hitler became a member of that party. I say: Max Schmeling allways refused to become a member of the NSDAP (and was in big trouble with Hitler because of that) and he also saved at least two jewish lives. So no one should affect Max Schmelings honor.

So, El Loco, are you the guardian of the Nazi party membership list? If not, you make pretty big omniscient claims. How can you say, one way or the other, that Max was either a member or not? Also, what makes it OK for you to make jokes about Germans? Did they bomb your chipshop? Whay can't we just all get along........... No, I'm not the guardian of the Nazi party membership list... but that's not the point. I wanted to express, that Max rejected the sick ideas of nazi regime. I understand he even saved the lifes of 2 jews and always remained a good friend of joe louis. So, to put in a nutshell I think he was a good guy... unfortunately germany didn't have more men like him that time. Speaking about making jokes about german: I'm german (at least 50%) and I see that other germans get mortally offended when british press media writes something like "Let's blitz the Krauts" for example. I simply think that's a pretty exaggerated reaction to a tiny side blow and shouldn't cause endless discussions. So stay cool. You might be interested in the following sites: Using the Altavista search engine, I came across the following: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/fight/peoplee..._schmeling.html This site holds a picture of Max Schmeling, Adoph Hitler and Eva Braun. Some interesting narrative about what Schmeling told the US press about Hitler’s Germany. Again, in Altavista, search for hitler + schmeling + photo The first site listed is “image search results for hitler schmeling”. Have a look in that site and there is a very pally photo of Herr Hitler and Herr Schmeling together. Whatever Max's supporters may say, it looked as though he stood up to Hitler (as well as sucked up to him too). Well said Terminator! Proof to some of the contributors here that "apologists" can be interpreted in more than one way. Watch out though or you'll have wacky Comrade kommunist after you. Hi! Claus Schenck Graf von Stauffenberg is also shown together with Hitler on many pictures. But Claus Schenck Graf von Stauffenberg was the leading figure of the german resistance against Hitler. He ignited the bomb that nearly killed Hitler in 1944. But the bomb only hurt Hitlers arm and killed some other nazis. So: Not everyone who is shown together with Hitler on a picture is a nazi! Some of them even tried to kill him! Greetings from Germany Rockabilly
