....and Stalin's troops across the border? In 1943? The Germans and Russians were locked in a death grip at Kursk during the summer of 1943.. And then Manstein, the Germany tactical genius, succeeded in surrounding and killing or capturing tens of thousands of Russians who foolishly rushed forward to exploit their success at Kursk.. The Red Army didn't cross over into Germany proper until 1945 (not counting E. Prussia)... Hell, they didn't even "liberate" Warsaw, Poland until January 1st, 1945.. Bolshevik uprising in Germany in 1943?? LOL!!! There was more chance of a Ukranian uprising against the Soviets.. Hawk

gus. Ya figure the holy islam clerics will start using kindergarten bombers next? I mean who would ever suspect 4 and 5 year old kids? Hamas Vows Escalation After Using Female Bomber abcnews.go.com Jan. 14 — GAZA (Reuters) - The Palestinian militant group Hamas said it used a woman suicide bomber for the first time on Wednesday to counter Israeli security precautions and vowed to escalate attacks in a more than three-year-old uprising. "For the first time (Hamas) used a female fighter and not a male fighter and that was a new development in resistance against the enemy," Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin told Reuters, referring to a bomber who struck at Erez crossing point on the Gaza Strip boundary with Israel, killing four Israelis. Hamas and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed offshoot of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, jointly claimed responsibility for the attack, identifying the bomber as a 22-year-old mother of two from Gaza City. The Brigades and Hamas' kindred group Islamic Jihad have used women bombers in the past. Witnesses said Wednesday's bomber set off a metal detector at a terminal used to screen Palestinian labourers en route to Erez industrial zone. She told soldiers she had a metal splint in her leg and then detonated her explosives, witnesses said. "Resistance will escalate against this enemy (Israel) until they leave our land and homeland," Yassin said. Sworn to Israel's destruction, Hamas has spearheaded a Palestinian uprising that erupted in the West Bank and Gaza in September 2000. Its attacks have tapered off in recent months, a fact Israeli officials attribute to army crackdowns in the occupied territories.
