The famous Feldmarschal marches alongside the Fьhrer in 1935. Mackensen's early support of the Nazis was more obvious than any other officer from WWI, and lent legitimacy to the Third Reich.

I dont know what wanted the guy to express with the entry-post....

Не се Знае точно, а и едва ли е от Значение.

МакенЗен си е легенда от първата световна война.

Yes, I know. I have a old potrait underlined with his words:

Von Gottes Gnade bin ich, was ich bin.

This is simply an allusion that all Bulgarians are not only "Tatars" i.e. inferior to Yugoslavs, but also Fascists per se...old trick from 1945....this was the way to eradicate all the pro-Bulgarian feelings in Vardaria....Greece had differemt approach, but allusion with Fascism (and Communism) as natural feature of the Bulgarians existed too...

Ahhh...I see. In Greece during the civil-war its was exactly the other way around. All communists where called "Bulgarians"
Unregarded that the most bulgarians activists of Greece until naturally colloborated with the axis-powers until 1944.

But just interesting that such argumentation use a person like Mackensen as example, cause he was (I dont know if you understood the german citation) a member of the part of the anti-nazi church ,so called >Bekennende Kirche< in contrast to the >Deutsche Christen< within the German Protestant Church, and also he protested against german warcrimes in Poland in WWII.

As last alive WWI-Feldmarschall after 1935 he was untouchable in the Third Reich. Of course he was old style prussian aristocrate but exactly not a nazi.

But OK, its the FYROMian way to build history, so may be I spend to much time to think about...

Хитлер е врЪовист. Лакей на Царот....

In early April, Mackensen opened the spring offensive against Russia by bombarding the enemy positions at Tarnow, and this effectively split open the tired Russian front (see description, below). Mackensen then ordered the march forward, but the difficult terrain and the fighting retreat by the Russians made for slow going. Mackensen reached Przemysl in early June, and aided the Austrian recapture of Lemberg on 22 June 1915. Meanwhile, Mackensen was given command of the k.u.k. Husaren-Regiment 10, on 11 June 1915.

Following the glorious achievement of the campaign against Russia, Mackensen was given the task of leading the campaign against Serbia in October 1915. This he did with great veracity, using both the German XIV. Army and the Austrian III. Army, along with help from the Bulgarians to destroy the Serbians. When Roumania declared war on Austria in August 1916, the Germans, fearful of their ally's collapse, mobilised all resources against the invaders. Mackensen was dispatched to Bulgaria, where he organised the Army of the Danube, made up of troops from Bulgaria, Turkey, Germany, and Austria. He invaded the Dobruja, and reached the mouths of the Danube, battling the Russians who tried to block his advance. Then he forded the river and marched to cut off the fleeing Roumanians. His efforts sped the defeat of Roumania and he was promoted to field marshal. Mackensen commanded the occupation army in Roumania until the end of the First World War.

Bravo .
No sepak ta prikazna ima druga osnova

" I have a dream " - UNITED MACEDONIA

A основата е, че България е била държава и през 1915 година и е можела да има държавни интереси и да тепа и сърби ,и френци ,и гърци ,и румъни, и енглези за тия интереси.
Когато Глигоров е поднесувал, Македония само се е пробвала да бъде държава.

Pa ne e bash taka .
