  2. 16mm color film looks to be around 480p or a tad higher. I don't recall VCRs looking as bad as 360p even in the super cheapskate 6 hours of taping mode.

  3. And communism was spread even further, even Patton said we were on the wrong side and he was killed. No more brother vs brother wars. Dig deep and you will find the truth. Hybo

  4. 1966, California.
    Primarily home-schooled, during one of my rare experiments at a government school, my civics teacher was a German war-bride.
    .
    Mrs. Elsa Field told us of soviet scum -- encouraged by their BOLSHEVIK coward 'Political Officers' -- raping anything and everything.
    Babies, children, animals, and of course females of all ages.
    She, her family, everybody she knew survived years of starvation and constant American bombing of civilians.
    .
    At the time, I considered it a privilege to know such a strong human.
    And still do.

  6. So, the US Army had "so many POWs they could not shelter or feed them all". If you want the truth, get ahold of the book ACCEPTABLE LOSSES. Ike deliberately let thousands die of starvation and exposure. Britain feared the competition from the Germans ever since Bismark united the country. Ike's genocide removed a lot of healthy white DNA from the gene pool and paved the way for the importation of Turks and other foreigners for fill in the manufacturing jobs. My trip to West Germany (Frankfurt and Munich) was an eye opener. Since I was fluent in German at the time, I was able to get the real truth from the people on the street and in the Hofbrau Haus. It was an unfortunate situation. There can be no more brother wars. Bleib ubrig.
