Everything ANTIFA thread

There's a big difference between serving in the Wermarcht and being a Nazi (meaning being part of the Nazi party or NSDAP).
The article you showed says he was "conscripted" into the Wermacht, meaning he was forced to serve just like millions of German citizens at the time.
The NSDAP had up to 8 million members when the Wermarcht had over 18 million, meaning at least 10 million people in the Wermarcht couldn't be Nazis.
Many people in the Wermacht were actually against Hitler and the Nazi party.

Just like General Olbricht.

Scooped ya Sylvain, lol

Considering the Wehrmacht attempted to kill Hitler on more than one occasion!

 

[Sylvain]

2 things: He was conscripted, and while it is common to call anybody bearing arm, for Germany during a war, a "Nazi," that is incorrect. Being a member of the Wehrmacht did not make one a Nazi.

A Kut beat me to it!

Some Wehrmacht folks were even part of the German resistance and were anti-Nazi.

Of course...but again, lame attempt at humor on my part I suppose.

The German company that built my dishwasher (still in business and now a famous German brand) actually had a factory inside a Nazi concentration camp during WW2.
They used slave labor to build their machines and the company changed their name after the war to hide that part of their past.
Now Antifa could protest against that company (not that the people now in charge are responsible for the action of the founder of the company).

And Newsweek !
What's next? Somebody will start believing the nightly news? The WSJ? The New York Times?

I probably have a unsettling obsession with Germany, and the Nazis in general. I mean how any people can say they've read "Mein Kampf?" Obviously, I'm in Germany at least twice a year, and I've had the opportunity to speak to German people from that era. The one thing that I can say about them that is almost universal, and very similar to how older Americans hate Japanese, is that older Germans hate Russians.

So anyone resisting yet? Maybe they got the time wrong.

I've read several translations of Mein Kampf but never in its original language.I believe since last year it's now in the public domain.
I like me some dressed sauerkraut and apfelstrudel when I go to Germany.
I don't go there often though but I often get to talk to German folks who are visiting France.

It's barely noon in California.Give them time to wake up and get ready.

Do they go "My uncle was in a bunker, over there, shooting at the Allies"? That would be awkward. I love apple strudel. And I get blasted at Christmas drinking gluhwein...better than hot chocolate. I'm surprised it isn't more widespread in the states. Do the French have something similar?

 

[Sylvain]

Apparently some Antifa protest in Austin now.

AUSTIN CITY HALL: Antifa group faces off with counterprotesters

APD officer estimates about 20 Antifa and 75 counter protestors.

lol

I've even seen Allied WW2 vets meeting German WW2 vets.It's actually not that awkward.

We have the same thing that we call vin chaud (hot wine) that you can get at Christmas markets and fairs.The German name is used as well.

Antifa apocalypse? Anarchist group's plan to overthrow Trump 'regime' starts Saturday | Fox News

 

[Leadeye]

i'm glad i live in the woods and won't have to deal with stupid **** on my birthday weekend....

Me too, and happy birthday.

 

[actaeon277]

Must be small crowds they don't want to cover.
I don't see any news about it.

 

[jbombelli]

So far this huge apocalyptic war I was promised is not impressing me.

Bosch I’m assuming?

Miele?

didn't Krupp do a lot of business with der fuerher?

Bosch I’m assuming?

Close.Siemens, they built their own factory/concentration camp.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobrek_concentration_camp

But Bosch also used slave labor.Just like Audi, BMW, and many other German companies.
Even the chemical company (IG Farben) that produced Zyklon B for death camps is still around today under a different name and still a leading chemical company.

Some of those companies had to pay millions of dollars to concentration camps survivors.
