oversimplified wasnt lying

NUTS! THE GENERAL’S WORD ECHOES CLEAR! NUTS! THE NAZIS SHALL HEAR! CRACK OF THE LIGHTNING, SPLITTING THE GROUND! THUNDER IS SOUNDING, ARTILLERY POUNDING! WRATH OF THE NAZIS, CAST ON BASTOGNE! FACING THEIR FORCES ALONE!

80 years ago today

Damn this game was old

To think the German emissaries had zero clue what Nuts meant and it had to be translated to them as go to hell go to the teuffel devil 😮

And I thought the British response to that was funny. For context, the Germans offered a British unit holding a bridge a chance to surrender. The Brits replied saying, "We don't have the proper facilities to take all of you prisoner. Sorry."

NUTS !!! He said what he meant and meant what he said.

I read that he did not really say, "Nuts"; rather it was "F"_____ off, or some other such epithet, so they changed it to "nuts" for release to the public and the press.

Fun fact : Thes snow in this scene are not real, but shredded paper

nice video

Age of Empires 2, "trolololol" changes color

"When the legend becomes fact, always print the legend!" 'Aw Nuts!' clearly verified by 🎗Lt. Gen. Harry W.O Kennard Ret. was 🎗 Brigadear Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe's second response after he heard the nazis surrender request. Tony first "whispered" BS to his close friend, unofficial body guard and post war pen pal 🎗Sgt. Bernard Doyle 'Willie' MaClean. I think I was picked by him to relate his seldom told story to me at sunrise in the mid 80's. After chatting over coffee he went straight to showing his perfectly preserved B & W photo of him in his battle helmet, fatigues while holding his Thompson .45 cal across his waist. Willie said, "I was in the Battle of the Bulge!" and then he asked me, "What did the General say to the surrender demand from the Germans?" I quickly said, "Nuts!" With a half smile he leaned over our local pool rooms table and whispered that "explicative" to me inside a local uptown business very accustomed to cursing. Willie said, "On that day the 101st was very aware of the POWs shot at Malmedy." He concluded, "Those words could not be used in the National Press back home or the US Army news' ''Stars and Stripes". Lastly he told me, "Nobody ever believes me when I tell them!" and he had a quizzical look on his face with that claim. That morning I will never forget his "other reports" on surviving the cold, snowy days and nights in the terrible Battle of the Bulge inside Bastogne with his close friend, 🎗Tony.

Americans: NUTS! Germans: CASHEWS!

Why the fuck aren't they wearing gloves?

German reply: the balls!

Real men.

The German Commander: “Was ist ‘nuts’?!”

Meanwhile todays young youth need a safe space, cant tell what sex they are or barhroom to use.

Patton, according to his multiple biographies, when he heard about this he laughed and quipped 'A man whom is so eloquent deserves to be saved.'

German General "We want your unconditional surrender" American General "I took that personally"

At this point in the war, why would the Germans demand the Americans surrender? 🤦

Go McAuliffe

God Bless Them. Theyll be better than ill ever can. But ill try

His response was actually, "Aw...nuts".

Nuts!

Philip II of Macedon to Sparta: "If I invade Laconia you will be destroyed, never to rise again." Sparta: "If". Same energy

Came here after watching Girls Und Panzer. I was damn surprised that this actually happened in WW2😲 History is stranger and more amazing than fiction.

2023

0:50 i love how it immediately raised the morale lmao

Nuts that weigh half a ton

DEEZ NUTZ!

Should have arranged a truce rather Than a surrender and celebrated Xmas as fellow anglo saxons The commander not very diplomatic saying nuts After all the brits and germans had one in 1914!

NUTS! Indeed. It was during 1944 near Christmas when Adolf Hitler began to realize the Western Allies were unstoppable. The German Youngbloods and Hitler Youth urinated their pants when the hardened American 101st Airborne unit were charging against the brutal 1st SS Waffen division and death around the corner. ☠️

Most American thing ever

Most epic trolling of an enemy in the History of the US Army...

A couple of comments here about Doc Rowe and Winters keeping an eye on him, but no-one commenting on why it's this specific scene in particular: the Bastards of Bastogne have all seen carnage and their bravery for holding the line should obviously be commended... but this small scene is about Rowe knowing, more than anyone in the company, about the horrors that warfare can do to a human body. Rowe has seen it all, been there first hand while people scream for their mothers as their guts hang out- and Winters, being as smart as he is, knows this and knows that the colonel's speech has a very different affect on him than the rest of the men. So on the one hand you have this cool scene of stubborn bravery we can get all gung-ho about in this comments section, but this subtly is countered by a message about the futility and savagery of war. Rowe knows more about that than anyone else in the scene. And that's why he's sat apart, that's why he's not cheering and that's why Winters is keeping an eye on him during the speech.

This is Christmas during ww2

Nuts? Peanuts? I do not understand what that signifies. But I think it is a negative answer. Because the soldiers smiled and cheered.

They should've said "Ess Scheiss!"

Kind of does make you wonder if NUTS was an acronym for something a bit more vulgar at that time?

I thought it was just an interjection. P.S. If I were the Germans, I would be thinking, "Was ist das 'NUTS'?!!"

Same message should go to to russia today.fucking savages. Never surrender!!

When I see soldiers shivering in the cold, I always wish I could take in some blankets, and hot Hungarian goulash with crusty bread. My mum was Hungarian, Dad was British, I was raised there. I got a unique perspective of the war from opposing sides! But, make no mistake, mum and the Hungarian people hated Hitler! RIP to all those poor souls who suffered so terribly during WW2.

Recently. I feel like this.

Meanwhile in 2022, To the Russian Warship, "Go fuck yourself." Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦

IDI NAHUI

Russian warship… go f yourself.

I like the Ukrainian Snake Island version too. “Go Fuck Yourself”. Ukraine 🇺🇦 Semper Fi Gents! God Speed!

If it was in 2022, they would reply “deez nuts”

hey hanz guess what came in the mail today
