Hey guys, I was wondering what you guys thought about facism? I am personally not a facist or a racist but if you are, i would just like to know what you guys thought and why you guys think that. What do you guys think about facism in WWII? Another thing is why do they make so many german models?? Sorry if you guys take this wrong but i am not trying to be byist. Just want your guys opinion. Also if youve heard of a SS unit called the 36th-SS please post any info on them here. Thanks

I'm not a racist nor a fascist, but I've studied quite deep in detali the fascist story (I mean the Italian one and not the German National Socialisms) and I have to say that Mussolini made lots of good things for Italy. Unfortunately these are nothing compared to the bad ones he made. I still cannot understand how he decided to get in the war in 1940, when our army commaders stated quite clearly that the Regio Esercito could be ready nont before 1944-45, and knowing perfectly that our industry couldn't reach teh production levels needed to support the war effort. The only reason I can see is that he bet that the Germans were going to win in a couple of months...



Quite likely the answer could be: because it's what the market is looking for.
I only bulid stuff who served with the Italian Army, in particular in our Cavalry, and sometimes I get upset to see some kits in injection plastic of vehicles that never left the German designer's drawing table, and I have to spend a fortune and run like a mad to get often crappy, very expensive and difficult to find resin kits...
Ciao

Fabio-- amen to your last statement about spending a fortune for crappy kits.

there is an old book out there somewhere about the United States becoming a facist gov't i plan on reading it soon, it sounds quite interesting

36th SS- Waffen Grenadier Division.

The division was created at the Oder front on 20th February 1945 and consisted of the former SS-Brigade 'Dirlewanger' and elements of the Army (2 PZ. Jag. ABT 681, Pi. Btl 687 and GR 1244...). The two newly formed regiments and the divisional units saw action with the V AK (4th Panzer Armee) on the Lausitz area and were destroyed there.

From Werner Haupt's 'Elite German Divisions in World War II'.

Its funny you guys bring up the 36th-SS. I am a pc game and used to play Call Of Duty. In that game i became a member of a clan called 36th-SS. I sorta like them at first. but then i found out the real truth of what they thought. It was disgusting. I quit the clan. The night that i posted this i was on their website trying to figure out why they thought it was such a good unit. I found out that they werent, It said that "they killed many jews" i was disgusted. I hope to never talk to those ______ again.
