My German ancestry predates the Nazis, but I probably have relatives who were.
Does it account for all the Nazis that existed after and still exist there today?
Do I have to link the song? Fine. I’ll link the song. I want to hear it anyway.
Edit: Not picking on Germans. America is really at fault for protecting them after WW2.
Those are not members of the Nazi party.
Spoiler…
They probably were.But to be fair, Germans took a lesson from history, at least in the west, in the east however, they covered it up. And so AfD grew from the east with the help of Putin and Trump.
I’m not sure that’s accurate. I mean, Heusinger, who was a high-ranking member of the Wehrmacht, was later a West German general, and a Chairman at NATO. Definitely striking, but not the only similar example. Denazification was woefully incomplete.
Just being part of the Wehrmacht doesn’t automatically make you guilty.
You also can’t put everybody in prison for being a member of the Nazi party.
To exaggerate it a bit, it sounds like you think genocide against Germany was the only moral response, but that is of course not at all moral, and would make the allied forces worse than the Nazis.Genocide? It feels like you’re making a few leaps of logic there.
Either way, if they were a high ranking military commander in nazi Germany, they likely didn’t get there by being nice and virtuous. To place them in another centre of power seems a little odd, at the very least.
Germans took a lesson from history
Not really
And DDR prosecuted and ran intensive denazification programmes
Wouldn’t this be an example of them taking a lesson from their history?
