Sorry for the salty language, but when that message was scribbled inside a box of .50 cal rounds 77 years ago, we were a nation at war. The demil furnace crew found the message while destroying rounds from #WWII. We are eager to see what else they find. #greatestgeneration

Throwing shade on the decorated WWI veteran who made Germany great again.

"There was much more violence on the Eastern Front. There was no violence on the Western Front, in terms of World War II".

...and he followed that up with, “I knew the Third Reich were people who really loved their country, that truly respected law enforcement, would never do anything to break the law, so I wasn’t concerned".

It was actually titled "High Hitler".
The cocktail of drugs he was on was immense.
There's also a doc on the use by the Vermacht of Pervitin, which was essentially crystal meth.
Also, very interesting.

I am so very proud to say my daddy was a B-17 bombardier who had many successful missions dropping bigass bombs on Nazi plane factories & railroad lines. When he sighted his target he would call out: BOMBS AWAY (I’m adding: Motherfuckers!). This box should be in the Smithsonian!

It just can't be abusive.

That was a pretty mild statement, most stuff was a lot worse.
