| My Great Grand Father was an Italian Soldier in WW2 and he helped fight with the Germans(not in his own free will though). I also found out that he was Jewish like a lot of people in my family and that he was a PoW held by the Americans and that they weren't even remotely nice people when he was captured. |

| I think it's pretty neat that I have a relative that fought on the other side for once. I find that more awesome than having a relative on the winning team of WW2. |

| Jp, that would be one way. I know what the Axis did was horrible(even though Allies weren't saints either) but it's just more interesting hearing it from their point of view then from the winners. |

Corridan, you don't hear about what they did because they hid it. They'd torture the soldiers and have their way with them and call them "N@z1 scum" even if they where Italian, Spanish or another ally helping Germany even though they where forced with death or being put in a camp. But I'm sure you'll deny that and say that Axis PoW's are just bitter about losing even though the vast majority of the allied Axis Forces in Europe where all forced to help Germany and didn't even like Germany or what they where doing but had to go into the to protect their families.
Until you hear from those guys you really won't know what it was like for the Italians and other allies of Germany who where all treated like war criminals and dogs for doing something they never wanted to do. |

Japan did horrible things. Worse things than the European Axis countries. However, the allies over in Europe(USSR especially) where just as bad if not worse in terms of how they treated their PoW's and not to mention that do you think no Ally Soldier did anything wrong whatsoever?
And do people ever talk about what happened in war? Are there any Axis soldiers still out there who would tell their stories anyway? No. And why would they? A lot of Axis Soldiers where either executed, jailed for life or where released and didn't want to talk about anything because of the emotional affects it had on them.

I'm going to just skip all this before I say something that will get me banned.
And my point is that Allies did horrible things too, not just the Axis. |
