Wehrmacht was not a Nazi organisation. Members were free to join the party but they were not under any obligation. The SS was an explicitly Nazi army but completely separate from the Wehrmacht.

Very cool clean Wehrmacht myth

Good to know world isnt a leftist echo chamber, you can share nazi propaganda too

      That account is wild before that post but damn I didn’t think they’d be this mask off

      I was reading through wikipedia on world war two, and found out that over half a million german prisoners of war died in soviet gulags after the end of the war.

      I’m pretty well read on world war two and I’d never heard that before, so I decided to post it on “today I learned”.

      There’s a real problem with Neo-nazis, less on lemmy, but it’s increasing worldwide. But you’re accusing the wrong person.
