a million pieces/segments sneering at hasan piker and the co-chair of the DSA, meanwhile a republican congressional candidate in upstate new york named peter oberacker is the grandson of an actual nazi germany soldier and his former staffer was part of the 'i love hitler' young GOP group chat
Yeah, this post strips a lot of context from history. What I mean is that it's important to remember that in Nazi Germany not everyone was a Nazi and that the armed forces were a separate organization lead by Nazis. That's an important distinction because a lot of the soldiers in Nazi Germany's armed forces were just regular people. Who happened to be in an organization who's leadership was replaced by Nazis. Some of whom were already serving long before the Nazis took over.
Now I don't know if this particular person in this photo was army or SS. I don't know if they were a Nazi or regular person who was forced to follow Nazis or die. I do know that not every German soldier was a Nazi.
Also it's a dumb post by a Neo Nazi. Just hopefully revealing to people that Nazi Germany wasn't so simple and had a lot of context.
Edit: so apparently I have been falling for the "Clean Wehrmacht" myth.
