Recommended Posts

or that Canadians are...whatever you people call Canadians.

 

Syrup addicts. This is also my Mom's 61st birthday! And my Grandfather came into Europe as a part of the 6th armored division of the US army a week after D day.

i Have a friend at school and says happy d-day on june6

 

It is a joyous occasion as D-Day was the beginning of the end for the Nazi's but, due to the sacrifice needed to make it happen it isn't something your exactly supposed to celebrate.

Thank God Portugal didn't get involved in this.

 

Our ditactor back then was pretty smart: he gave weapons, ammo and supplies to both allies and nazis, without ever entering in combat.

Wait, you are glad that your dictator helped supply the nazis who were committing mass genocide and crimes against humanity ? That he didnt have the balls to take a stand and pick a side ? Hitler wouldve overtaken your country as well regardless if it suited his needs. Thats what he was doing, attempting to take over the world .Wow just wow ...

Keep in mind that Portugal is very far away from Germany.

 

The nazis didn't get to Spain, if they wanted to conquer us they would have to conquer Spain first.

 

And Hitler supported Salazar, he wasn't going to invade us.

 

And Salazar only helped the allies because of England's ultimatum in the beggining of the 20th century.

 

I say that it was a smart move of his, because if he only helped the nazis, the allies would have attacked us.

 

Since we helped both, we weren't attacked.

You are missing my point . He wouldve eventually gotten there. He was trying to take over the world . Some leaders were hidden supporters thinking they wouldnt be ousted when Germany inevitably made their way there . You dont help a country who is committing mass genocide and crimes of humanity to save your own ass. Whats that say ? Think about it . Nothing to be proud of .

Call me a coward if you want, but saving our butt by helping both sides was one of the best choices made by him.

 

Portugal was pretty miserable back then, we were still recovering from a financial crisis.

 

To make sure that we weren't going to be attacked by the nazis, he helped Hitler, and to make sure we wouldn't be attacked by the allies, he helped the allies.

 

And when did I say that I was proud of it?

 

A lot of us (my great grandfather for example) wanted to join the allies, but the PIDE didn't let them (PIDE stands for International Police of the State)

Posting that you sure were glad basically implies that. Its like degrading the sacrifice of those who did go and fight .People died for the freedoms Europe enjoys today .It should be respected .

If all of you have problems about the so called "sacrifices", it's not me you should blame.

 

I'm just expressing my opinion, and I'm not the only one that thinks like this.

Same, even if my country helped both sides.

 

I gave my opinion, you gave yours. Let's keep it at that.

 

Peace, I'm out.
