WEHRMACHT: Misunderstood Monsters?

Holy fucking shit.

But you have to admit the Wehrmacht were supporting a group of people trying to kill everyone in their quest of genetic “perfection”

They were not supporting them. They were just serving their country. So by your statement all the soldiers in the American army were supporters of Bush?

Yes I suppose they were just serving their country, but I’m sure Americans would probably object if Bush told them to go kill millions of their own people

Because Abu Ghraib and similar events never happened?

Or never mind the fact that the Allied forces during WW2 already knew about the existence of the workcamps since 1942 or so, but felt it wasn’t important enough to actually do something about it.

Man I just suck at history today don’t I?
But still those were suspected terrorists, it’s wrong to torture people based on paranoid suspicion, but the Nazis killed millions of innocent people
and during 1942, weren’t the Allies trying to take back Western Europe? How would they be able to help the people in the workcamps?

All Jews were also suspected terrorists in the Nazi doctrine. They believed in the conspiracy theory that the Jews were going to take over all the wealth and power in the world, gradually, until every other people would be slave to the Jewish race.

Every human in the workcamps was a suspected terrorist, collaborator, sympathizer of the enemy, member of the political opposition, or in any other way declared “enemy of the state”. Homosexuals were also interned because they were viewed as “defective humans” in the Nazi ideology.

So, it is wrong to torture people based on suspicion? Does Guantanamo ring a bell, then? And what if Christian hate-mongering fundamentalists would provide a president in America? I could totally imagine Muslims and homosexuals going into concentration camps, then. Many Americans still see homosexuals as “defective humans”. And people from another religion and culture (this time it’s the Islam) as “potentially dangerous”.

A good basis for the same thing happening again. It just takes a few more steps to get there.

You talked about “killing millions of their own people”. But people who were sent to concentration camps weren’t “their (the Germans’) own people” anymore by definition. They were enemies, because otherwise they wouldn’t have been sent into camp.

I suspect that in America, you can pretty much send anybody into prison by now, if you just publicly announce that he has been a terrorist himself, sympathizing with terrorists, collaborating with Al Quaeda or running an Islamic fundamentalist group bent on destroying the Western culture from the inside.

Proof can be engineered (if needed at all), that should be no problem for a resourceful government such as this.

That’s not so different from things in the Third Reich, at all.

Yes then that man’s lawyers will disprove it, and you’ll forever known as that moron who randomly accuses people based of suspicions

Not all Americans are rabid paranoid bigots, is the thing. It’s just now and then one of them attains power and it’s assumed (from omniscient eurotards) that all Americans are rednecks and cowboys, when that’s really just a fraction of the population.

But anyone can be an asshole. Ever heard of the Harvard Prison experiment?

We could proably fix our 12 trillion dollar debt if we sell Texas. People could visit it and their sterotypical visions of Americans would be true!
We’d make quadrillions!

Texas would probably succeed from the Union first :stuck_out_tongue:

Disprove it although there is much more evidence (albeit fake) of his guilt than of his innocence?

The only evidence is a random guy yelling very loudly," HE’S A TERRORIZER!" And why is Texas trying to secede? They’re the ones who gave us Bush, who contributed 4 Trillion dollars to National Debt. And we had to pay all their debts when they joined the Union

The Jews were rapidly singled out as foreigners, regardless of how long they had been living in Germany. Besides, the SS were the main Holocaust implements. The majority of the Wermacht was busy fighting a war.

Check out the “Banality of Evil” and the “Milgram Experiments”.

Or just test yourself. I can either break this guy’s jaw or be hung. What would you do?

jews have always been the easy scapegoat throughout history. WWII wasn’t the first attempted genocide involving the jews.

It really depends on where your heart is. If you can dehumanize someone it’s easier to kill them, which Hitler was really good at getting people to do. But if you have a strong connection with your brother, than you might be more apt to sacrificing yourself, which people have done throughout history.

Depends on what you mean by the term “hung”. :retard:

But, to me, if I’m in that position where my life is in danger if I don’t do as they say, then I’m as good as dead because I refuse to do as they say no matter what. They’ll have to kill me and my blood will be on their hands and they still didn’t get what they wanted.

And now those Palestinians are trying to do it again! Poor Jews, all they want is some peace and quiet :frowning:

You say that now but nobody can know what they’d do until they’re in that situation.
