      Because articles and blogposts can be handwaved, hard history can’t-- and hard history says an uncomfortable amount of Nazis held power in NATO in ways that can’t be undone today. These people really want me to believe NATO’s current angle wasn’t inspired by some literal monster who should’ve been executed by 1950 holding the reigns of the ‘defensive alliance’ they never were?

    Here is a video on the Nazi generals who joined the Bundeswehr, from Mark Felton. The youtube comments are from some bizarro universe where this is a good thing. Oh wait that’s just our universe.

    Here is another one about the few generals who joined the GDR army.

      Didn’t stop you from entirely swerving the point of the post, though. Wish it woulda.
