    1. I think Germans should at least pay us some reparations, but we have brainwashed idiots even here in Poland, who will say they don’t need it for political reasons…

    2. not suprised. they are all gone now and I dont think young people think the same now

    3. Nothing. Of course they think that way. It’s way simpler than to admit you helped genocide numerous nations. That’s why the clean Wehrmacht myth exists. And their reasoning is why this myth even existed in the West Germany, the one guy even says it: that if not for them, the USSR would have conquered Europe. Western leaders needed to find allies in a crusade against communism and they found ex Wehrmacht officers, scientists. 

      They’re not different from Russian soldiers believing in cleansing Ukraine, Israeli soldiers believing in cleansing Gaza and even american soldiers, proud of their service in Iraq. They mostly don’t want to admit they were wrong

    4. They believed the propaganda, same as we’re fed with propaganda all over. Don’t forget there were Germans who felt disgusted with what they did in the war. Throwing all Germans in one bag, especially with those that were born long after the war, is just not right.

      There’s the whole “clean Wehrmacht” myth. Many nazis, especially those with bloody hands, tried to make their atrocities seem small or nonexistent.

      I remember reading Walter Schellenberg’s war memoire, the guy was trying to make himself appear “cleaner” as soon as he suspected the war isn’t progressing in Germany’s favour.

      Families of Rommel and Speer tried to make them appear less implicit. Look at Skorzeny’s or von Braun’s careers after the war – much was swiped under the rug because USSR was a bigger threat.

    5. Most normal people will justify whatever they did. It’s hardly surprising.

      Dobra zostawcie dziadków w spokoju, lepiej pokażcie im gdzie jest nocnik, ci goście mają mózg wyprany przez propagandę i nic nie poradzisz na to….

      i think you have an agenda sharing this video on this sub now, with a „what do you think“ nudge and a wink.

    8. But they didn’t lie. While they did commit atrocious things. The whole WWII was the aftermath of the situation German citizens were in back then. A soldier isn’t the dictator.

      Nazism existed for less than 12 years and look at the brainwashing it accomplished justifying murder and genocide as self defence. Now imagine regimes that have had decades…

      Mindless drones. No moral backbone. Only these stupid implanted feelings of national pride and duty.

      Same as Russians today.

      I mean obviouslt they’d find any psychological mechanism they could to distance themselves.

      You wouldn’t expect a person to just say “yeah I served a genocidal empire and killed a lot of people”.

    12. That shows one thing – those siding with oppressors – no matter how vile how inhumane – they won’t ever change their beliefs – cognitive dissonance is too powerful in humans psyche.

      This shows a bleak future for US, Europe, world in general – people who were subjected to brainwashing over the years – won’t be coming around. Welcome to age of disinformation.

      Why it is acceptable in Poland to condemn ordinary German soldiers that they contributed to Nazi horror, while it is completely unacceptable to point out that many Polish people contributed to Nazi horror too taking part in Jews extermination?

    14. This is why blindly following military doctrines is a bad idea.
      Everyone thinks they’re the good guy or „just following orders“

    15. Yup! Germans being Germans – will always find a moronic justification for all the ignorant and dumb stuff they’re doing. Just like Russians.

      they were brainwashed, its nothing suprising. These days people are brainwashed too, it was always like that.

      „we only defended ourselves“ by gunning down civillians hiding under the floor boards?

    18. PumpkinOpposite967 on

      Yea. Same propaganda then as there is today in russia – „the world brought the war to us, we are defending ourselves“. Russians are so incapable of creating anything, even the propaganda is all a copy of some 70 year old bullcrap.
