I hate how they paint Rommel as a bad dude. Other than that, it shows what a bubble college aged people live in. How do you not know who the fuck Rommel is?

If there is one thing that history has shown us, is that North Americans have a disdain for studying history.

Its not just Canadians. These American college students didn't even know about American history. And no trick questions here.



Edit: Just to add, I had no idea who Rommel was. I'm not a history major nor did I learn about this in high school history (or not that I remember anyway, it was well over 15 years ago). But I do know who won the Civil War and who the American vice president is, and I'm not American.

Wow.  This is all basic Jr. High School history.  Although I have to say I thought Snookie was the name of General Grant's dog.  (jk)

The guy doing the interviews for shock value is a tool, and the kids answering questions to things they dont know are idiots too.

People need to find better things to do with their time like post on getbig.

Funny, when I was in high school I did an entire presentation on the Desert Fox for Modern European History.

Had Hitler heeded his generals and avoided invading Russia, we all might  be speaking German today.
Trust me, I'm no fan of Nazi's but they had the advanced military to do serious damage 65-75 years ago

You simply can't fight a war on many fronts.

Hitler had to attack Russia otherwise Stalin would have invaded from the East. The reason the Germans caught the Russians so off guard was because they were drawn up into OFFENSIVE dispositions and not defensive; this is also the reason they broke the Red Army so easily at the start of the invasion.

I've known the name Erwin Rommel my entire life, and I am not a history major nor do I even have a college degree. I'm simply a citizen that is aware of the world around him, and well versed in modern history and politics.

No, American folks wouldn't be speaking German, no way they would've made it here nor would they have needed to. I do however, hear what you're saying and get the sentiment.
