Pictured is my grandfather (furthest right) with his squad mates. I have been told the picture was taken around June of 1941. Colorization done by my good friend. How about a thread celebrating veterans in our family?

This could have been a good movie if they'd just stuck with one plot focused on the soldiers.
Joshua Bell
That's a pretty big dude.

This is my uncle being interrogated by a nazi officer circa 1942

Who are these ugly niggers
Austin Gomez
>1941
they didn't just give them away back then
assuming they're all just privates it's no surprise they'd have bare uniforms
Take Major Winters from band of brothers, dude did multiple combat jumps, was involved in a number of major battles, wounded in battle, etc
he had 5 ribbons, depending on your IET length a soldier these days can have 5 ribbons by the time they get to their unit

What did the Hispanic recruits want to watch?

Zoot Suit (if you know what I'm talking about).
Joshua Davis
Man I wish that style would come back. Say what you will but criminals and gangbangers back in the day knew how to look spiff.

Daniel Cox
it never will, since they will be considered as identifying marks of being part of [insert unlawful activities get-together] in most countries.
Like gang colours, nazi armbands, doggo execution squad uniforms, isis flags etc.
Modern organized crime, unless it has a secure political and military foothold on its turf is probably smart enough not to run around screaming HEY WERE GANGSTERS PLEASE ARREST US
that being said, yes gangsters back then looked pretty spiff

I'd take a pic of the last letter my great uncle Edwin wrote just before the battle iwo Jima where he lost his life (and smoked 50 some japs according to his friends who were in the same squad) but the camera might damage it
Jose Martinez
My dad said that blacks took poorly to training and had a tendency to bolt in combat (run away) so they mostly drove trucks and served in the mess hall.
Henry Anderson
It was admittedly a good look
Hudson Sanders
there were a number of valor awards given to black servicemen that say otherwise
one story that sticks out was a artillery unit that kept to their guns even though they were going to be over run so that other units could retreat during the battle of the bulge

Better to assign people to work they can do instead of forcing them even though you know they will mess up when the time comes.
There are always exceptions naturally. Bless em.

What does this have to do with Krautland?
Nicholas Mitchell
according to their insignia they are all E-1s, unassigned to any unit.

This is my other Grandfather. He served in the Marines in the Pacific. In Reality, he saw a lot of action.

Today, I am called a nazi for supporting positions both of my grandfathers held and fought for. And I am not even all white. How did that happen?

This is absolutely not true whatsoever

how does it feel to know that your grandparents actively fought for their own extermination?
they fought so that you can work a tiring shitjob, pay off half your money in taxes that are beeing used to import illegal immigrants or strengthen leftists that will take away your guns, make beeing white and hetero nearly illegal at some point.
so that you can eat genetically engineered, worthless food that is stuffed full of sugars?
so that you consume unhealthy shitwater that is full of chemicals and estrogenic hormones.
so that you sons become effimate sissies?
so that you can have mixed, ugly grandchildren?
so that you can take on lots of loans only to be able to afford some shitty plywood home in a crime-ridden neighbourhood?

its pretty interesting there was this one color marine movie in the 40s that was nearing the end of the war and a scene with them in a hospital recovering after guadalcanal and one white guy was like those damn mexicans taking my very low blue collar job before the war and he sees a guy on crutches and guy on crutches says eets okay mane i understand and hobbles away and hes like man inm sorry sanchez but youre different you served with me and the sgt is berating him because sanchez saw more beach landings then the white guy and told him to knock that shit off.
Pretty interesting to see in a those early movies during the censorship.
Jayden Hill

The left keeps moving the bar. Sooner or later what was normal becomes bad, what was questionable becomes unthinkable, what was unthinkable becomes common place.

I realuze this was done by a friend but you should probably complain about the job he did, your grandfather looks like a nigger in this pic.

The Hispanic recruits were all off at MCRD San Diego to busy becoming sugar cookies to care.

And a half century later “liberals” still bitch about those evil white supremacist brown nazis and have changed their mind to the turks dindu nuffin
