I remember hearing on TV a few years ago they were interviewing this guy in Zaire when the revolution there was on. he was talking about civilian casulties when he said "When two elephants fight its the grass that gets trampled"

Let Mr Friedrich write his book, people should hear all sides of the story. Its sort of like the american war crimes against the vietnameses civies, the ones we're just now hearing about when the vietnam war's been over for 30+ years. like I said the world needs to hear all sides of the story

Besides the german civilians really got shafted by the allies and even by their own military. German civilians seeking refuge in the subway system from the allied bombing were flooded out by the ss under Hitlers orders because he felt that germans were losing because they were weak.
