No link because it’s from discord and I am but a lib. Comes pre-dunked though.
I once saw DPs(displaced person) beat an SS man and then strap him to the steel gurney of a crematorium. They slid him in the oven, turned on the heat and took him back out. Beat him again, and put him back in until he was burnt alive. I did nothing to stop it. I suppose I could have brandished my weapon or shot in the air, but I was not inclined to do so.
It was only after the collapse of communism, for instance, that the Kremlin grudgingly admitted that the Soviet secret police, not the German SS, murdered thousands of Polish POWs during WWII. In 2000, it was Poland’s turn to reexamine its war record, and the larger issue of anti-semitism, when an American scholar uncovered evidence that the massacre of the entire Jewish population of a village called Jedwabne was the work of Polish compatriots and not the Nazis, as had been the official version.
Huh, wonder if these two things are in any way related? :thinkin-lenin:
Thanks for the link this is a fascinating read.
Reminds me of another “Nazis in ovens” story. He didn’t die from it though but he got what he deserved.
The former Auschwitz subcommander Hans Aumeier had come to Norway in January 1945 to a newly constructed camp in Mysen. As the first commander of this camp he made himself infamous as extremely brutal and in Auschwitz he had ordered at least 90 executions. As a prisoner in the Akershus fortress however he was beaten so his screaming could be heard over the entire fortress. Some days later he was beaten again and thrown into a steam disinfection oven that was heated to 65 degrees. Aumeier was later sentenced to death in Krakow and executed in January 1948.
How it was that Weiss was chosen for the small American allotment was even more of a mystery, since compared with Britain, Russia and other havens, the United States placed tight restrictions on Jewish refugees.
:curious-marx:
Ferencz prosecuted members of the Einsatzgruppen. “There were 3,000 members of these killing squads who did nothing but kill women and children for three straight years,” he says. "These 3,000 men alone were responsible for almost 1 million murders. Do you know how many I brought indictments against? Twenty-two. The rest were never tried.
“I remember talking to Soviet officers,” he adds. “And they were baffled. ‘You know they’re guilty,’ they’d say. ‘Why don’t you just shoot them?’ There was a lot of that kind of feeling in postwar Germany.”
Hey look, that’s what happened to all those Polish POWs
Read the whole article, and I liked this little reminder that the Soviets dealt with Nazis much better than the Americans did.
“I remember talking to Soviet officers,” he adds. "And they were baffled. ‘You know they’re guilty,’ they’d say. ‘Why don’t you just shoot them?’”
Although handing SS officers to former victims and saying “Whatever happens happens” is in fact, based.
The good German soldier bullshit is so exhausting.
@7DeadlyFetishes @7DeadIyFetishes sup want to comment about how the nazi death camp guards were just following orders?
no. they commented that a bunch of dumbass kids got drafted into the vietnam war and it wasn’t their fault. someone started an argument and called them a war criminal sympathizer or something, and they doubled down.
edit: it’s kinda lame when i see mother fuckers here say shit like “i used to be a neo-lib, but i’m reformed” or “i was such a racist asshole when i was a kid” while living in fucking america in the late 20th century, they get forgiveness because they reached the light, but when someone presents a perspective of people who were actually up against the wall, they get fucking banned.
this is not to trivialize what the fuck we did in vietnam, america is entirely fucked and evil. they literally brainwashed and forced our youth to go “spread freedom” or go to jail for what was possibly a life sentence to them, and there’s little empathy for them, compared to “reformed” racists and neo libs.

Reminds me that there’s an entire subgenre of wehraboos who always call german medic “sanitater” compulsively like the dorks they are
Are these the same guys who get incredibly mad if you refer to the bullet-holdy-plastic-thing as a magazine instead of a clip?
Maybe I’m fucked up, but I’ve always wanted to knock some dweeb like this out lmao
