Some National Geographic WWII documentary said this about a nazi lieutenant just now:

"Not much is known about Generalleutnant Fritz von Kraut. We know he was a brave and competent military commander, but we don't know about his political beliefs or his attitude towards national socialism."

wtf

- Unlike the Germans, the Soviet woman wore all of her medals for the interview

The white devils can't help themselves, can't they
- It was some German historian talking head saying it too
  
  Yeah but since he supports he can't be antisemitic
Libs when talking about socialists and socialist projects during the cold war : "They were bad and evil and the people behind them just wanted to be bad and evil, because that's how bad and evil communists are."

Libs when talking about literal Nazis (or US war criminals) : Flattery and white washing, thinly veiled as "nuance."
'Fritz "Burner of Polish Villages/the Devil of Minsk/Drinker of Russian Maidens Blood" von Kraut is not known to have directly committed any warcrimes'
- Absolutely no idea what the political affiliations of Obersturmfuhrer Heinz "Der Jewslaughterer MegaNazi Prime" Hitler 2k could have been
- But did you see how uncivil those Slavs were being about their impending extermination? They didn't even get protest permits!
- "Allegedly"
  
  "Von Kraut's Unit, the 2nd Belarusian Town Destroyers allegedly burned down ten towns in Belarus"
- HE didn’t shoot Jews guys! He just ordered his troops to shoot Jews! That makes him an innocent smol bean uwu
"Rommel was a respectable guy even if he was playing for the opposite team" - a thing I've seen liberals seriously say more than once (except for the opposite team part, that was me doing some comedic hyperbole)
- It's all part of the "Clean Wehrmacht" propaganda campaign to make incorporating the NAzis in to NATO palatable and keep anyone from asking what the Wehrmacht was doing in Eastern Europe.
  
  I hate that clean Wehrmacht feels quaint now that we have clean SS from

Liberals also fall over themselves to say Robert E. Lee was brave and honorable and also a very handsome boy
- There's another insidious bit of the propaganda regarding Lee and a narrative that he fought for The State of Virginia rather than the confederacy which is almost-but-not-quite saying he did it out of concern for states rights.

lmao they always are way too lenient with the Nazis while using every opportunity to disparage the Soviets.
Fritz von Kraut

No

I refuse to believe this is a real man

I believe wholeheartedly that he was a Nazi, but one ala Colonel Klink
- I could not remember what they said the guy's name was and substituted a joke that I hoped was obvious
  
  I am high as shit at the moment, so forgive me and my chicanery
  
  Colonel Evil von Machinegunhands
- general Pretzelwaffen der Schnitzelstoffen
  
  Well, I have a name for my line of German chain restaurants now
- He clearly got out of it by shouting "I know nothing! I see nothing!" when being on trial in The Hague.

- But what did he believe?
  
  What did he eat for breakfast? Did he put the milk before or after the cereals? How could you condemn him without knowing the answer to those questions just because he was a Nazi?
They really love saying "national socialism" dont they
- When you gotta pad the word count on the shitty essay you half assed the night before due date.
  
  I think it is more to tie socialism to the Nazis
A new Netflix doc i saw was basically nazi propaganda when it came to the eastern front
The allies should have shot every Nazi officer they got their hands on, but I guess if they did that they would have had no one to run NATO
- Churchill had a fucking cry when Stalin suggested killing between 50~100K N*zi officers. Guess he didn't want to lose the manpower.
"He had remarkable intelligence, insight, and persuasion, all the qualities to make a successful commander, but it's unclear whether he understood his own personal connection to the Nazi project."
That sounds about reich...
We can take a fucking guess
History guys often say this
In May 1944, General von Brodowski, worried about concentrations of the maquis in Cantal, a sparsely populated area of 65,000 square kilometers,[1] asked the Kommandant Heeresgebiet Südfrankreich (KHS), the military command of the Army area in Southern France, to transfer to Lyon troop units to combat the resistance.[5] General Curt von Jesser in May 1944 created the Jesser Column, a force of about 5,000 soldiers, including units of the 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich, to suppress and destroy the Maquis in the Auvergne and Limousin regions from June to August 1944.[1] These units wiped out the population of the town of Oradour-sur-Glane in June 1944, shortly after the Allied landings in Normandy

Huh sounds like a genocidal Nazi
