Nah, I didn't intend to start a controversy!

This is getting a bit but bears some further mention. The use of political and/or ethnic epithets to describe soldiers of other nations, was common on all sides. It was a useful propaganda tool to help dehumanize the enemy.

Hence, in Soviet newsreels, German armies and soldiers are referred to as "fascists" and in German newsreels, the Soviet armies and soldiers are referred to as "Bolsheviks". In US and British newsreels, Germans were called "Nazis". That it persisted after the war was probably as much from force of habit as from lingering resentment.

I was telling not about war period. It is rather clear point with propaganda, besides you can not insult soldiers diring the war by naming them "bol`shevicks", "nazis" or "fascists" whille it was their official self given names at the period. I told about nowdays But no more off topic!
Sorry Doc.
