In the coming centuries we'll be back to pikes and muzzle loaders, sure as poo poo.

I'm laughing at how American vehicles were apparently abandoned in mud puddles while Kruppstahl was hauled back and every bit of the ~~buffalo~~Tiger was used, even if the vehicle was scrap metal and they were just looting it for spares.

Also laughing at what I presume is where credentials go on that website. "Read over 100 books on WW2." Half tempted to find where that is and write a rebuttal with "have a PhD in German history."

But I won't. Because I'm lazy.

That's what I call linguistic efficiency! You just need to read the first six words, and you immediately know what to do next.

In this case, purging the text from your memory and wishing hard for psychic powers so you can give the author a wedgie through the internet.

Nah, there's some oddball specifics. I mean, could be a highschooler but the kind who hangs out in the history aisle of Barnes & Noble reading poo poo like "TIgers in the Mud" rather than the one who's just cribbing off video games.

If it makes you feel better, the top voted answer for that on Quora is "The Americans kicked their rear end in literally every way."

Reading his profile, he claims to be a descendant of an SS soldier. He's also denied that there's any concrete evidence of gas chambers in the concentration camps (with one of his sources being https://www.expeltheparasite.com), stated that the SS always got the best training and equipment, and admitted to getting banned from Fortnite for hacking.

So not a kid, just an outright Nazi.

I used to post on the gamefaqs forums as a youth and I remember one time in a Medal of Honor game forum (frontline? It doesn�t matter) some kid asked to proofread his high school essay about d-day and it was literally just a description of the opening of Saving Private Ryan. He thought the characters were real and that�s how d-day happened. I think he came back and said he got a B on it

Are there actually that many books with iron crosses on the cover?

Could it be 100 copies of the same book?

100 is at least an order of magnitude too small, even if we just limit ourselves to non-fiction.

However, this

is still entirely possible.

The sad thing is I can believe this, based on my own experience of getting an A for just listing one battle after another in a WWI-presentation I had to do for school. I literally bored everyone to death and still got an A, so yeah. This scenario sounds disturbingly real.

If I remember just one thing from this thread, it's the joke about identifying squads by firing a round over their heads and the US response being "nothing happens for fifteen minutes and then everything is wiped out by artillery and air strikes."

Tigers in the Mud is a far cry from most wehraboos. Carius spends a good chunk of it praising the T-34, plus straight up confesses that his official kill count is fiction.

"The USAAF was fighting a totally different war and never coordinated with the ground troops! All their fighters and bombers were in the Pacific!"

"Then how did the USAAF maintain air superiority for so long over so much of Europe?"

"Jews."

You're right, I just grabbed a title from memory. My point is that there's a certain type of kid who loiters in the mil hist aisle at big box bookstores and can end up speaking from what they see as a position of authority on things.
