December 17th, 1939 was the date when the 1000th German solider died while bringing liberty to the people of France.

The death of the 1000th German soldier at the hands of ruthless French terrorists during operation "French Freedom" marked an unfortunate milestone for the people of the Third Reich. The soldier's heroic sacrifice for his country and for the liberty of the French people will not be forgotten.

The heroic solider was killed when terrorists attacked a German convoy using an "improvised explosive device", or IED. Following the attack German troops defended themselves by "hosing down" the surrounding buildings with machine gun fire, killing 7 children and an 88-year old woman, all of whom were terrorist sympathisers.

"These terrorists will be defeated" said German chancellor Adolf Hitler. "They will not be allowed to stand in the way of the establisment of a peaceful and secure French nation".
