Has anyone watched the BBC documentary on the Nazi's?

Honestly, Hitler sounds like a real jerk.

I doubt U.S. would have been able to defeat Germany, WW2 without Soviets. Soviets sacrificed significantly. Have to remember, the vast majority of both USN & USMC were in Pacific fighting Japan. I cannot see a way U.S. could have prevailed against Germany, WW2 without Soviets doing most of the fighting.

Stalin and the Soviets invaded Poland. They did not recieve a declareation of war from France or Britain.

They also attacked Finland before the nazis attacked USSR. The USSR had also invaded Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia. In the twenties they had invaded Georgia and Ukraine. They had also invaded Poland before.

The USSR and Britain invaded Iran during ww2.

A big reason why a lot of Germans voted for Hitler was that Germany actually had two empires for neighbours. At least one very aggressive.

Why would Italy launch an operation against Germany when they were allies?

Italy switched sides before the end of the War:

Italy also fought against Japan:

And, Caucasians fought for Japan:

The Nazi's what?

And why would the generals of Italy attack Germany? They were on the same side.

If you are going to try to post a troll post at least try to get your facts straight and make it at least feasible. A better example would be:

My grandpa always said that the war would have been over six months earlier if the Yanks hadn't messed up the landing at Omaha Beach. If they had been as aggressive as the Brits and Canadians were at Gold, Sword and Juno we would have been in Paris by the end of the week.

See? It's a mixture of truth and opinion coupled with enough detail that the average LR poster will just respond with an ad hominin attack rather than try to debate the issue.

In the end the Nazis were horrible to everyone. They brought the wrath of the world on Germany for a second time. Even the most innocent Germans and most loyal Nazis suffered in the end.

The conservative establishment considered the Social Democratic Party as a big threat to their privilege, and thought Hitler was a useful idiot they could manipulate to defeat the left. Of course, they got completely outmaneuvered by their "useful idiot.'

Sounds a lot familiar to Americans today?

You are being too kind to Nazi lovers in Europe and U.S., 1930's. Nazi lovers in Europe & U.S., many loved everything Hitler stated and most of all they were enamored by Hilter's public speaking style.

I think the point is the establishment would rather side with fascists than even mildly center-left governments.

Come on man, you cannot be serious? I thought the entire world --including most of your fellow right wingers-- realized that was nonsense by now

Right up there with John Blutarsky.

Sham 69 sighting! This is a rare treat folks; it’s rare these days to witness this majestic creature in its natural habitat!

One thing you won't hear much about is that German POWs that were brought to the US during the war were allowed privileges that black US soldiers were not allowed at many bases in the south (entry to the officer's club and access to the PX).

The Liberals are using several tactics of the Nazis. Psychological control and manipulation. Indoctrination. Suppression/censoring of information/truth and controlling narratives. Inciting division and labelling people as sub human (jews vs non vaccinated) to justify sub humane treatment (lockdowns, vaccine passes to take away human rights, vaccine mandates). Using media propoganda to fear monger and instill an agenda into the minds of people they control.

Yeah. I wasn't talking about MTG, Gaetz, and Jordan of 1930s. They were not the establishment. I was talking about people like Schleicher, Papen or Hindenburg. They thought they were using Hitler for their political goals, but in fact they were the ones being used.

Half of the GOP members in Congress would have voted for impeachment if the ballot had been secret. Those cowards should watch this documentary to understand how much damage they are inflicting on the country.
