In a few years there won’t be any WWII veterans. That’s a big loss for humanity. The only consolation is that this kind of crap won’t keep happening.

I appreciate modern media’s black and white view that Nazis are bad. That’s definitely a place where I don’t want to see a lot of public nuance.

When it comes to individual soldiers thought, it’s always more complicated, were they supporters of Nazi ideology, or just fighting for their country, were they part of genocides and atrocities or trying to avert one? Ukraine especially really got fucked by everyone who took her over. The Nazis and the Soviets were starving and whoever had control at any given time just took all the Ukranian grain and starved the people who grew it to death.

You can’t even discuss the topic without risking neo-Nazis or Putinheads joining in to support you. No thanks, I’d rather cut my own hand off than be helped up by these people.
