I was just having a conversation about this kinda stuff with a 100% German guy who moved here to try and launch his product line in the USA. Both his grandfathers were part of the Nazi party and he revered them which every man should of their grandfathers but he also said if his grandfathers were alive today they would hate the Nazi party and regret all their actions. Not because the Nazis were bad but because it enabled the demise of his country and no goal was worth what the price was to his country.
That was very sad to me but it makes sense considering what they were trying to accomplish in the beginning and what it ended up as....they handed their children directly to it when their goal was to actually deliver them from it.
Unrelated but another thing he said which I found interesting was to say that Americans are not European in any way, "European" isn't even a thing. I said yea nationality wise we're all Americans that's true but culture wise what about the ones that were originally from Europe? He pointed to some guy and his wife at a nearby table and said "go ask them what their culture is, they will give you 6 different answers. They say European because they don't know themselves. You think just because someone taught them how to make schnitzel that makes them German? Nobody in Europe calls themselves European, I'm German....I would never call myself European. How many white people in the USA can tell you their culture with one word? Europe is a continent it's not a culture, call yourself an American you have nothing to do with Europe anymore and that was true a long many generations ago".
I'm not sure if I agreed with that and I've never heard that before but I'm not sure if could tell him he's wrong. It was a very interesting dinner with a hardcore conservative from a different country, we talked for a very long time about all kinds of stuff like that.
Better not show him this thread: https://christisking.cc/threads/hit...ogistics-and-background-of-world-war-two.797/
We've got members (MusicforthePiano) who will defend Hitler's actions, despite their catastrophic consequences for Germany. I have no idea if these guys are actually German or care about the Germany people, however, but any honest Germany patriot will be forced to conclude Hitler was a disaster.
