Dzons! maybe I am racist against all the wops that are in this country but not against anybody else, My own grandmopther was born in Perm, that,s in the Urals if you didn,t know already! my hatred of the Russians comes from my father who told me that if ever the Russians invaded Latvija again he would be there with a gun to shoot any of them that tried to cross the borders AND I WOULD DO THE SAME THING!!!.
Courlander, I know that my father was put to work in the marshalling yards at Hamburg which I believe was in the Russian zone at the end of the war, I think schwerin was where my father ended up first of all with false papers using the name Andrejs Orleans then maybe he went to sengwarden near to wilhelmshaven which was where he was brought to England from by the Red Cross in 1947. I have photo,s of my father in German uniform, maybe he was in the latvian legion I don,t know because my father never told me, but, after seeing these photo,s I have my suspicions.
You “get all that racist crap” ? You are the one spewing the racist stuff.
What is “wop” to you? I am afraid that I might be one. My surname is Schmit, but I am half Italian. If that is wop, please forgive me for taking up space in your part of the continent.
That is curious that your father would choose to defend LV when it wasn’t at risk (after return to independence). Why didn’t he return to LV after the war and defend it when it actually needed it?
samazinat “crap” tom, es tikko uzzinaju loti lepajas fakts! mana tevu, pec tam atri talruna zvanu lai mana parmate vina apstiprina ! es esmu tik lepns !!!! JA !!!!!
1. Am I a wop?
2. How does your “parmate” explain your father not returning to LV to defend it from the Russian hordes when it was actively being overrun? We all tend to be brave after the fact. Me too. Give me a gun, I’ll fight them Nazi hordes crossing the border.
I thiught it was the Americans who called the italians wops ! I mean all the pakkis etc in this country and as for your second question why dont you ask that to all the other hundreds of thousands of true latvians who fled the russian zone and ended up all over the world thousands of miles away from THEIR HOMELAND !!!!!!!!!!??????
When people make outrageous claims that ignore their own past actions, then I will ask the question.
Nobody would begrudge your father his decisions (though I admit that taking on a different identity makes me curious), but still it is odds when anyone says that they would defend LV when 1) they had the chance and didn’t and 2)are planning on doing it from the other side of the Baltic Sea.
I guess that by “constructive” you mean agree with you. Sorry, don’t . Have Pakistani and Russian friends. Actually, to think of it, every Pakistani friend that I have, has either an MD or a PhD. Odd.
Karli - on a fairly regular basis my wife accuses me of being a self-righteous, arrogant jerk. Probably I am. It seems that much of what you write provokes that in me. So, I wish you luck and hope that reality treats you kindly and I will try not to address you directly.
