Just like when Hitler let Allied troops be extracted from Dunkirk.
I just love how the media is uncritically repeating Nazi talking points. And this is the same soldier that the MSM has been showing giving updates on Mariupol. Note how he has the Azov patch on his chest covered. Previously he'd had it out in the open. Of course its all moot when there's another soldier right next to him proudly wearing their Azov patch on their sleeve.
Hitler did not let troops leave Dunkirk. Hitler tried and failed to stop them leaving.
Also the Russians are under no obligation under the geneva convention to let them retreat as a military unit, if they want to get out they can surrender
It just blows my mind that there is no correction in the article pointing that out. Literal revisionism.
They literally made a movie barely 5 years ago about how Hitler was trying to kill every last fucking one of them lmao
Libs have a memory that goes back more than 10 years challenge: impossible.
Additional challenge failed: Do not give props to Hitler.
Did these people forget the movie about Dunkirk that came out a few years ago? Hitler literally didn't let them just retreat, he hit them constantly with the Luftwaffe the entire time.
can’t believe I’m quoting books on chapo.chat
I do it quite a bit here too. What a bunch of fuckin' nerds, am I right? :a-little-trolling:
Guess the kino just wasn't good enough for people to remember:deeper-sadness:
Oh, but look, its awesome Avengers Zelenskyy:very-intelligent:
They've quite literally been given manyany opportunities to simply surrender. This have seemingly been offered like half a dozen times.
I desperately hope whatever civilians they are holding hostage there manage to survive but damn dude trying to pretend you've had no exits... Wild
"Russia refuses to allow a military unit they have surrounded to just leave"
Well guys good game now let's all go home... Wait you want us to like admit defeat and remove ourselves from combat... That's so unfair someone call the war referees
Libs unironically think thats how war works despite every single piece of evidence saying the contrary. 500 years ago their ancestors were bemoaning about how guns are ungentlemanly and were some kind of faux pas while everyone involved in either army was far more likely to shit themselves to death rather than die on the battlefield because Lord Numbnuts decided the latrine should be dug upriver from the camp.
You'd think the constant throughline of war before antibiotics of shitting your britches until you died would have disabused these motherfuckers from thinking war is cool and yet here we are! Again! :screm-a:
I've seen it said many times that Zelensky could just end this really quickly if he wanted to. Wish he would.
He sure didn't seem to hesitate to take up the whole "we'll keep fighting forever!!" Line that just so happens to be really convenient for America and absolutely disastrous for Ukrainians. Wonder if he got a good deal out of it or he's just that much of a shithead.
Based on what we know of him, I would hazard to guess the latter.
to be fair to the man if he tried there are decent odds Azov and their like would kill him and/or keep fighting anyway
it's almost like well armed fascist militias are bad things to have
Putin started this war... But to end it zelensky could simply give up things he already lost. Acknowledge DPR and LPR two regions largely out of ukr control already and it'd basically end. But now gotta get many killed for images
Like 20,000 French and British soliders died during the evacuation from Dunkirk and another 40,000 were captured. They were relentlessly straffed by the Luftwaffe during the whole evacuation. The only reason they weren't totally wiped out was becuase the majority of Nazi forces were focused on the drive to Paris.
Also, I'm pretty sure Rundstedt is the one who came up with the idea that the Germans graciously let the British evacuate Dunkirk to cover for the fact that he kind of fucked up there by giving the famous halt order.
There is also mention in contemporary accounts that the tank crews who were pushing Dunkirk were basically into their third straight day of a methanphetmine binge and there were eyewitness accounts of drivers passing out due to sheer exhaustion. Because of this some military historians think that if the French and British had managed to regroup and fortify the beach head, it is likely they could have held it at least until Paris fell, but their command was too busy panicking. It is unclear how much it would have mattered in the long run.
“Hitler let them” bruh liberals are out of their fuckin minds with this neo-nazi shit
This post reminded me of that video that came out yesterday of a Ukrainian soldier literally doing the Sig heil and mocking western liberals for believing that they weren't fascists and showing off his Swastika tattoo.
Wanted to re-link here but I can't find it now.
It's in the current mega-thread. Short lone comment with the link right at the top.
Sorry, I meant the comment was short and the link was right at the top of the comment. Not the thread.

Couldn't find the post but I still had this open in another tab
There already is an extraction procedure: You walk out, slowly, unarmed and with your hands above your head while saying "I surrender"
But then you take away from the poor wittle nazi defenders what nazis love the most: murder-suiciding their wives and children instead of surrendering to the approaching Russians.
Ukrayinska Pravda
Well that makes sense. I have literally never seen a westerner describe Dunkirk as something Hitler allowed.
I've seen Neo-Nazis try to spin Dunkirk as Hitler being kind and wanting a Treaty with Britain.
Didn't the French and a bunch of Matilda tank crews perform a heroic last stand against the Nazis so the Brits could escape from Dunkirk? Also it makes no sense ever for the Nazis to allow a foe to escape when cornered in the first place. just purely strategically, I'm calling bullshit on the Nazis "allowing" the Brits to evacuate.
Ok, I checked and yes, while the Nazis did stop their advance on Dunkirk for a few days, it was most likely to save their armored divisions for a push south, not any fucking wack-ass "honor agreement".
Hitler admired the British and thought that them losing their army would result in widespread revolts in the colonies, resulting in the end of the British Empire. He thought this was a terrible outcome and would not allow it.
Remember, in 1940 the idea that the British would ally with the USSR was absolutely insane. As in, you'd be committed to an actual mental institution.
And then in 1941 Churchill excused it by saying "if Hitler invaded Hell I would allow a favorable word to be said about Satan in the House of Commons."
Even HITLER is better than POOPIN. Are you on POOPIN's side now huh?!?
Even your average drooling gammon idiot here in the UK knows that's bullshit. They bang on about Dunkirk enough.
Are there any pictures of Ukrainian soldiers where no one has a clearly visible nazi patch?
Is it because he looks most like a CoolBeardGuyOperator that Americans love to see pictures of in places outside their own country
