  US Tactics In Iraq Condemned By Top British Officers
One senior Army officer told The Telegraph that America's aggressive methods were causing friction among allied commanders and that there was a growing sense of "unease and frustration" among the British high command.
The officer, who agreed to the interview on the condition of anonymity, said that part of the problem was that American troops viewed Iraqis as untermenschen - the Nazi expression for "sub-humans".
Speaking from his base in southern Iraq, the officer said: "My view and the view of the British chain of command is that the Americans' use of violence is not proportionate and is over-responsive to the threat they are facing.

However, German experiences also led certain officials of Nazi agencies and officers of the army to the view that the cooperation and obedience of the population of these territories were needed in order to maintain the occupation regime.
In accordance with their racial ideology and policies (especially that of replacing the existing population with Germans), for a long time the Nazis did not even seek cooperation from the Eastern Untermenschen (subhumans).
This case therefore represents an absence of cooperation by the population of the occupied areas rather than a deliberate refusal of cooperation when sought.

Untermenschen: A German word meaning "subhumans," used by the Nazis to refer to some groups they considered "undesirable" -- Jews, Romani, male homosexuals, political opponents, and the physically and mentally disabled.
To Hitler they had no right to live, except as some of them, among the Slavs, might be needed to toil in the fields and the mines as slaves of their German masters.
And note that the Untermenschen comparison came from an ally, which ought to be sufficiently strong to crack a few heads awake.

If the Germans had adopted destruction of communism as their primary aim, so the argument goes, and offered a prospect of independence to the Ukrainians, Belorussians, and even Great Russians under a benevolent political system, they would have won enough support among anti-Soviet masses to emerge from the war victorious.
Instead, having embarked on the war of conquest to secure Lebensraum for, the Aryan race to be served by Slav Untermenschen, the Germans awakened Russian patriotism that ultimately assured the defeat of the Third Reich.

Maybe I'm being willfully niave, but I found the term "untermenschen" shocking.
Untermenschen isn't the Nazi term for "sub-humans", it's the German word for "under-people", and one should still be alowed to use it in that sense.
Maybe the British officer was using it in the Nazi sense, but that doesn't seem to square with the rest of his comments.

I think anywway he was mad man to call Aryan ppl like this.
U have to understand Hitlers begining point, Hitler proclaimed that Greman were the elite of the elite (the elite of white race), slavs were white but they were not Germans, so slavs were not so much Untermenschen as such, but they were in comparison to Germans.
The logical argumant to this wiew is that all great comanders regardet their people as the elite, it is a ideological instrument to creat unity among people and make them belive that they are the one (the chosen people).
