For a nation so vile and barbaric, the name will stick to them forever, "hun" and kraut" will always be the german mark of shame. We stopped calling Japanese people "Japs" and"Japos", but we wont for these dooshers. hahahah Dooshbagland. ******* doosher krauts, always screw up the world with wars that they start, they should've divided germany between Poland and France at the end of WWII and erase that cruel murderous country once and for all off the map.

I think you mean Krauts. As in Sauerkraut. And yes it's an insult. Just like calling an English person a limey, an Italian a guinea, an Irish person a mick, etc.

The "war Measures Act" became declared in Canada while some French Canadians began to bomb and kill human beings. usually, French Canadians have not achieved what the Palestinians are doing yet extremely have been doing something useful. they have build the worldwide's fifteenth greatest financial equipment. The Palestinians would desire to do what the French Canadians and Asians (who equipped a efficient financial equipment) in Hong Kong have achieved.

They were a very bitter and sour people so we called them what they eat SourKraut, I guess it is true you are what you eat? ha ha Happy New Year
Big Mac Large Frie and a Coke ha ha, America. But not to offend anyone but it is true they were bitter and sour after losing WWI and took advantage with extreme prejudice the innocent and defenseless people, and ruled havoc and destruction on everyone, when they could have gotten more flies with honey than vinegar. It is never good to be a poor loser.

It was spelled "krauts" as in sauerkraut, which is a german food. They were our enemy at the time and most people call their enemy a derogatory name when speaking of them

Yes from Saurkraut but it started in WW1 you could smell them cooking it across the battlefields during trench warfare. Good thing they weren't cooking weinerschnitzel.....
