I miss when “worse than Hitler” was something patently untrue that people said when they were being overly dramatic.
Say what you want about Hitler, but at least he killed Hitler.
If reports of Donald’s diet are correct, he’s also the one who is killing Donald.
I would prefer it be lead poisoning.
Lmao you’re not wrong!
Reminds me of the old (apocryphal) story of Stalin, FDR, and Churchill debating what to do with the Nazi officers’ corps after their defeat.
"The German General Staff, [Stalin] said, must be liquidated. The whole force of Hitler’s mighty armies depended upon about 50,000 officers and technicians. If these were rounded up and shot at the end of the war, German military strength would be extirpated.” When Churchill angrily declared he would be no party to such mass retribution, the President quipped that he would act as mediator, and suggested the compromise of shooting only 49,000. In heat, Churchill left the room. Stalin himself fetched him back, assuring him it was all a jest.
The tendency to treat enemy soldiers as honorable adversaries while foreign civilians are resources to be exploited or speed bumps to be flattened is extremely fascist.
What separates Hitler and Hegseth isn’t their army’s treatment of survivors of a military operation, but their view of their targets as military or civilian. Hegseth knows he’s targeting civilians and treats them just like a German military commander would treat other civilians.
This is very misleading. As a rule, yes, the Kriegsmarine probably tried to rescue Western survivors most of the time, but it is indisputable that the Kriegsmarine also committed many atrocities both at sea and on land.
Worse than Nazi Germany?
… though even for radical Nazis, American approaches like the “one-drop” rule seemed to go too far.
yeah, but keep in mind that this is only true because the nazis werent sinking soviet submarines in ww2.
fair enough, anyway, you probably cant really rescue anyone from a sinking submarine, but did the germans rescue soviet sailors when they sank soviet ships? there must’ve been a little bit of that too
