history morons

You must be mistaken , EVERYTHING on the idiot box is true !

oh silly me.

I once watched a special from National Geographic on the wrecks on the Great barrier reef in Australia then two weeks later the kikes put out a movie (well advertised) on National Socialist Gold off the coast of Argentina , same footage , same wreck , some reproduction daggers and a fake scull meticulously placed to suck in the ejots. The Jews OWN the Media , the Holohoax brings in 42 Million a year, If you are too ignorant to believe facts then smile and blindly pay up !

Hey, Noddy

Look up Seig Heil in your little black book.

Or just look in the mirror you cretin.

I thought I had that piece of crap killfiled long ago.

Well, he sure is now.

I suppose anything that gets lobbed into the air ends up going around a corner, just not a sharp 90 degree one!

Actually, while the Germans experimented with weaponry that could fire around corners, they were pretty much like the Luft '46, being paper projects (cocktail napkins?). The weapons that the US Army is tinkering with might actually be ~used~ in combat.

Post this over on rec.aviation.mil. A certain German tech fanatic lurking there will be on this like a hobo on a ham sandwich.

the germans produced and used in combat a around corner gun. it had a curved barrel that wore out quickly. i cite ian hogg as proof. the actual gun now is an isreali weapon. they also have an m16 and grenade launchers that fire around corned. the u.s. gun doe not fire around, ir see around.

no thanks. a buddy and i post in alt.skinheads to bait the idiots.

No, not morons, they just don't care about accuracy. I am convinced that frequently they KNOW they are making incorrect statements, but do so because it makes a better or more exciting feature. These guys are video producers, not historians. They do not have a historian's sense of ethics.

It is an old trick in fiction to make a story better by claiming, swearing that it is true. I find History Channel, Discovery Channel, TLC, and NG all doing this on their supposedly non-fiction productions.

It has been a trend in Hollywood too, in recent decades, to produce a fiction movie in the style of a news story or documentary.

We as a society are starting to be unable to tell fact from fiction. And I suspect few these days even care :-(

Hello

I go to the discovery.com to see the weapon..... by any means is the Corner Shot System......???

Almost Right, they (the Germans) produced an add on extra for Sturmgewehr 44 called the Krummer Lauf, a bent barrel with a periscope sighting device that fitted over end of existing barrel. The production model could fire at a 30 degree angle. The also had working prototypes for 45.60 and 90 degrees and also had one for the MG42.

Isreali weapon here

But firing guns round corners was nothing new, all you had to do was poke weapon round the corner and pull trigger. Hitting somthing with this method might not have been so easy though!

Just a bit I missed on my last post Sturmgewehr 44 with the Krummer Lauf WERE used in combat, albeit limited. And that was 60 years ago, the US army are gona have to tinker a bit faster if they wish to claim this one :)

the point was it was in combat.

maybe on the tv shows, but they often return email saying essentially, duh, we didn't know that.

I saw that last night (although I thought it was discovery channel?) and was thinking didn't I see this same thing listed as a Wermacht invention a few weeks ago on History channel :-P

Yep I was agreeing with you, and actually posted again shortly after to clarify that point.

Im not sure all Historians have a sense of ethics, a lot come up with ideas(later proved to be wrong) that are rushed to print to further there ability to sell books, lecture, appear on TV etc, all to make money. And what of the English "Historian" recently given 5 years in an Austrian prision for claiming the holocaust never happened. When any right minded person should know what went on

Im sure the history and discovery channel are giving there intial (US) audiance exactly what they want to hear, we did it First, best, fastest, more expensivly than the rest of the world, I watch a lot of these channels, and am always left with the impression that the only participants in WW2 were the Japs Germans and the USA and USSR, Hardly any other mention of others when in fact 16 nations fought in the italian campaign on the allies side. Korea the same, Vietnam ditto, GW1.

Or even too produce a movie based on true events, then completely twist the truth so they can get in a big name movie star or appeal to an American audiance. Great Escape(Steve McQ), bridge on the kwai (William Holden), U571, are three that instantly spring to mind but Im sure there are a lot more.

Sad to say it but I totally agree :-(
