I find this thread offensive. Jazz is not for losers; it is a complex and inventive form of music representing a blend of western and African influences that deserves both recognition and appreciation.

I too find this thread offensive! Its bloody offensive that someone would turn on the outrage machine because of an offhand comment like that.

Seriously, what are the Nazis going to do? Conquer the world with toy soldiers?


(Yes - I signed up just to say that)

Dudes,
It seems to me that calling the germans ratzis started the subject on the wrong foot... they are just soilders following orders...

and GO Go seems like a appropriate response to troops with rocket packs!

Also Hello, i've been stalking these forums for a few months now.

Well, there were Nazis in the German Army, and there were non-Nazis. For the most part you wouldn't find non-Nazis in places like death camps. But, Nazi or not, when someone orders you to shoot a French green grocer, "following orders" is not an acceptable abdication of choice and moral responsibility.

For the record, I'm with Howard Moon on this one.

Now on to flying nazis...

In Zack Parsons, "My Tank is Fight!" he lists a German invention named the Heliofly III/57, a strap-on helicopter. It couldn't travel very far or very high, demanded a particular strong and skilled pilot, and no one wanted to use the thing cause rotors next to your head mean decapitation.

The rocketruppen uniforms look pretty convincing if you want these chaps to look like Luftwaffe airmen. The only problem with this is that they would be better outfitted to look like Fallschirmjager, but in the world of Pulp WW2 no one cares .

Man, that Heliofloy thingie would be awesome if confronted by Leftenant-Warlock Aleister Crowley of His Majesty's Thaumaturgical Corps and his army of reanimated corpses.

Indeed. Or Uncle Sam's, light armor, walker patrol.

have any of you guys read the short story about these guys on their site?

its about a rockety soldier flying over russians and shooting them with a one shot flamer from above.

it sound rather dangerous to strap a fuelcannister on your back and the flam DOWNWARDS! sound like victory!!

Well some people are sensitive to things about thier beliefs. Not everybody thinks its ok to have fun poked at thier beliefs. Makes jokes all you want, freedom of speach and all but dont expect to be liked or have it tolerated. Making fun of somebodies religion is quite different to making fun of serial killers and paedos

Besides its my job on this forum to piss people off. Man i go away for a month and all these new upstarts try and take my glory.
