Dafuq did I just watch. Asian-German mixed Hitlerjugend, SS murdering jewish refugees (as well as non-compliant Germans) in China, and Nazis winning an election even after Nazism was thoroughly squashed in Europe.
Haunting:
Chiang Kai Shek’s son fought with the Nazis, if I recall he participated in the invasion of Austria
Not many people talk about the fact, that Britain wanted to take the leftover Germans still able to fight and to attack Soviet Union shortly after the end of WW2.
The old version of Wikipedia states, that Churchill’s plan was to use 100 000 German soldiers.
But probably they realized, that the general public would not accept this policy shift very well plus they would get their asses kicked like Napoleon and Hitler again, so they canceled this plan.
Many nazis were treated by the US Army in “their part” of Europe very well and quite friendly after the Hitler’s defeat.
I would say, that Wikipedia is just quite watered down version of what happened, but still:
The Soviets too. I think it all gets talked about a lot.
Too what?
Absorbed Nazi scientists tech etc.
Yes, used their knowledge too, who would not?
But I haven’t heard contemporary witnesses to talk about that they would cheerfully drive the nazi military officers in their cars around after the battles stopped like Americans did.
The Operation Unthinkable is the main point anyway.
What do you think the significance of it is? Militaries are always drawing up plans. Russia was credibly a potential adversary.
In which way?
Well, they quickly became one, no? Poland did not get “a square deal”, did it?
To those who still want the Russian resources, land and whatever else they want, probably yes? But they never stopped being adversaries in such case.
I guess, if everyone would be required to put here his or her real nationality/origin and the flag would be displayed next to the nickname, the discussion would give more insights on motivation of people.
I would not mind to put here mine then.
Probably it usually isn’t too hard to guess ![]()
Assumptions can lead to wrong conclusions.
Well, I’m American, where are you from?
From Czech Republic, former Czechoslovakia.
