We even got hitlers car in that museum. The Americans gave it to us after the war was over
Did we bother to refuel that too?

Britain should become a Roman province again.
Republicans allowed Tea Baggers to further screw up their party and now they regret having done so. If this continues more people will vote patriotic and take away all power from the delusional right wing. That will make it better for all.
In a other spot in The museum it says. Canada was the second biggest weapons producing nation in the Second World War, second only to the USA. But that's only because the USA sold weapons to both sides. This is written right on the exposition wall. I'm not making this **** up m8.
Why would they write that in the nations capital war museum if it was not true?
You like many others suffer from, you only believe in the history that suits you
We are not a martial state and we do not stress our military past like America does. But we have a credible military past. We had approximately the same number of casualties as America in WW1, and fought from Day 1. The US army did not arrive in Europe until 1917, and did not fight as a whole national army until the last 100 days of the war in late 1918. .

Or a province of Persia. Its already got a lot of its population.
:lol: Before the USA entered the war, it's documented that German u-boats re-fuelled at American ports before attacking our shipments to Great Briton.
I'm not making this **** up RCS. It's. Fact... It's even stated in our Nation Capitals War Museum, I had the honour of working at during.

I doubt that. FDR wanted to bring the US in on the Allied side for years. Fueling German subs would have violated neutrality law and FDR was much too canny for that. US DE's were helping the RCN escort convoys before war was declared using a dodgy political rationale because FDR was anti-Nazi. Sorry, I am not pro-American but I have a hard time believing that US subs fueled in the US between 1939-1943.

During that same war, same underseaboot crews, were captured with cancelled ticket stubs from the Dundas and Capital theatres in Dartmouth N.S. that was common knowledge when I was a kid in that town. Of course that has nothing to do with the thread but it is my German U Boat memory.
I wonder if Angstrom read that on a wall?
Before America entered the war, they made a lot of money. Some of it was from Germany. This is documented. It's a fact. I'm not making this **** up..

I cannot refute what he's posted. A lot of stuff happened, a lot of stuff didn't happen, I was not there, I am not responsible, I have not googled it neither.

I heard stories when I served in Halifax (1967-1970) but nothing as extensive or detailed as your version. It sounds to me like a growing urban legend. One U-boat reputedly snuck into harbour beneath a freighter when the gate vessels towed the harbour net aside. It supposedly snuck back out, because the harbour net would have trapped it inside if its presence was revealed by an attack. True? When I was a young sailor in Halifax it sounded dramatic and we willingly accepted it, but I don't know. Why would a sub captain take such a risk?
I have a supposedly true U-boat story from Labrador. My pastor when I lived in Iqaluit had been pastor in Labrador. The town barber emigrated from Germany after WW2. He was commanding officer of a U-boat that used to retreat into the bays of Labrador after making an attack at sea. He used to watch Labrador City though his periscope and decided to live there after the war - so he did. That's the story.
That the biggest simpleton on the forum read it on a wall somewhere is good enough for me!
I was not aware the trophy for the forums biggest simpleton was not still in my cabinet. I way a hundread and seventy-two and a half pounds. Is he bigger?![]()
