Yes, they were "evil". Yes, they should have lost the war. But frankly, it bothers me why we can't recognize some of their achievments without falling into either THEY SHOULD'VE WON (/pol/) or THEY WERE STUPID EVIL IDIOTS.
Can't we have a rational discussion on the boldest (if stupid) army of the 20th century? Or the best uniforms ever made (shut up you know its true). Or why if Hitler wasn't a dumb, racist prick and had an actual general command his forces they could have advanced more into Russia (Although winning the war is impossible)?
>uses the word evil to describe a regime >claims to want serious discussion
Fuck off back to pol you halfwitted nigger.
Noah Turner
I used quotations for the word as I recognize some people do indulge in morality, so I recognize that they commonly cite the Nazis and their actions as "evil". I myself do not, but can see what they mean by this.
Also halfwitted nigger is a phrase only a /pol/ack would say, you fuck off
Oliver Watson
The reason this board will never be great is because everyone is so sensitive about /pol/
Fuck you for stifling discussion and making 50% of the discussion on this board related to whether or not an OP should "go back to /pol/"
Liam Lee
I prefer "they shouldn't have been necessary in the first place". If we had just expelled all the Jews from Europe in the middle ages we could have avoided so many of the issues that gave rise to the Nazi reaction and arguably still plague us to this day.
Luke Edwards
We don't want your kind here. We have already way too many threads about Nazis.
Jaxson Carter
Actually hadn't considered that. When and why did the Joos come to Europe?

Talk about improvement
Jordan Hernandez
That's not how fascism works at all.
If it wasn't Jews, it would've been some other scapegoat. All fascism needs to thrive is a shitty domestic situation and an internal enemy

Its sad really. Germany was always fucked over by the Frogs and Austrians because when Germany gets united, shit goes down

If it was not for nazi Germany, would the soviet have steamrolled the entire Europe given enough time? If not for Germany, who would have the power to stop them? The french? Not likely, the Britts? Not likely, and if it where not for WW2, would USA have build their enormous military industrial capacity to the extent that they could have intervened?
Matthew Green
Pure conjecture as we lack a control society free of Jewish influence with which to compare against our own.
Dylan Bennett
Nazi army was a biggest meme. >Hitler is a Wehrmacht (armed forces) commander, Heer (land forces) commander and a fucking Army Group A commander during the Battle of the Caucasus >Goering wars pretty much on his own, he commands all air forces, Luftwaffe Field Divisions, airborne infantry, is in charge of Four Year Plan, is a Prime Minister of Prussia and a Reichsminister of Aviation and Forestry (kek) >Heydrich is simultaneously a director of Reich Main Security Office (Kripo, Gestapo, etc.) and Deputy Protector of Bohemia and Moravia >Dietrich got promoted from Hitler's bodyguard to Oberst-Gruppenführer in the Waffen-SS, can't even read a map >SS is a clusterfuck of a security service, paramilitary unit, domestic intelligence outfit, municipal police forces, detectives, and Waffen-SS, overlapping Gestapo, Abwehr and armed forces functions Remember, kids, bureaucracy always results in chaos.
Jonathan Anderson
>If it was not for nazi Germany, would the soviet have steamrolled the entire Europe given enough time?
Probably not, given that they showed little expansionary interests since 1921, at least until the Germans spurred them along by dividing up Eastern Europe with them.

But you could check out Stumbling Colossus, if you're actually intellectually honest about this.
David Morales
Thanks for the tip.
Adrian Adams
I personally don't like the German uniforms. The only thing cool were their helmets.
The Italians on the other hand were a lot more suave. Goddamn, I LOVE their coats.
Other then that though, I agree with you. If we can appreciate some of the things the Mongols did despite their mass rape and slaughter, then its only a matter of time where we appreciate some of the things the Germans did during 1933-1945, like their advancements in science for example
Jacob Bailey
>Yes, they were "evil".
NATIONAL SOCIALISM IS A "GOOD" IDEOLOGY, NOT AN "EVIL" ONE; BY RELATION, ONE CAN PRESUME THAT ANY NATIONAL SOCIALIST INDIVIDUAL IS "GOOD", NOT "EVIL".
>Yes, they should have lost the war.
NO, THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE.
>Can't we have a rational discussion on the boldest army of the 20th century?
NO, WE CANNOT, AS LONG AS YOUR OWN PRECONCEPTIONS KEEP HINDERING YOUR DISCERNMENT.
Gabriel Brown

If you like helmets then the germans are till your guys, mate. The Pickelhaube is fucking intimidating
Kayden Miller
I'm really more interested in Rohm, the Strasser brothers and the others in the left-wing of the Nazi Party that took the "socialism" part of "National Socialism" seriously. Considering how strong the SA was, the only Nazi alternate history I think is intriguing is if Rohm was alerted or got the sense of Hitler turning on him and started a civil war. How much of the SA was loyal to Hitler personally and how much of it was laborers fucked by German "captains of industry" and Franco-British pettiness? Do any anons know of books along these lines?

How is an ideology that explicitly favors one arbitrary group of people and advocates for the death or subjugation of all others morally good?
Michael Jenkins
YOU ARE DESCRIBING ZIONISM, NOT NATIONAL SOCIALISM.
NATIONAL SOCIALISM ASSERTS THE OPTIMALITY OF THE ARYAN RACE, WHILST ADVOCATING FREEDOM, AND ALL THAT IS CONDUCIVE TOWARD IT, WHICH INCLUDES FIGHTING AGAINST ANYTHING, AND ANYONE, THAT PROMOTES SLAVERY, AND/OR SUFFERING, IN ANY FORM.
ASSERTION OF THE OPTIMALITY OF THE ARYAN RACE, IS NOT AN ACT OF TRIBAL SUPREMACY, BUT AN ACT OF RECOGNITION OF NOBILITY AS THE BASIC FACTOR OF ALL THAT IS "GOOD" IN THE WORLD, AND ESTABLISHING THAT AS THE UNIVERSAL CRITERION OF QUALITY.

Christopher Ramirez
I really do think they should've won. If they had, eastern Europe wouldn't have had to suffer through communism and all the massacres and purges that came about with it, which caused 10x the proclaimed death toll of the Nazis except it was real. Sure some Jews would have died or been deported to Madagascar, but they were the ones propagating communism in those countries to begin with. I would have much rather seen them defeated then than see them doing what they're doing to the West now.
Evan Adams
And they managed to supplant communism as the greatest enemy of civilised society. That takes some serious doing
Xavier Gray
fuck off
Jaxon Walker
Except the Nazis wanted to literally enslave and later exterminate Slavs. And no, they killed much more people than Stalin. Please educate yourself. Read about Himmler's treatment of alien races in the East, Generalplan Ost, what the Germans did in Poland and the Soviet Union.
Liam Cox
>NATIONAL SOCIALISM ASSERTS THE OPTIMALITY OF THE ARYAN RACE, WHILST ADVOCATING FREEDOM, AND ALL THAT IS CONDUCIVE TOWARD IT, WHICH INCLUDES FIGHTING AGAINST ANYTHING, AND ANYONE, THAT PROMOTES SLAVERY, AND/OR SUFFERING, IN ANY FORM. Unless they're a political opponent in which case they stand in the way of the will of the Fuhrer's party and must be imprisoned without due process or murdered in the streets by paramilitary gangs.
Dominic Anderson
?
Oliver Howard
I mean the Nazi party's playbook was killing or imprisoning its opponents, political or otherwise. It seems ridiculous to claim they advocated freedom while suspending due process and literally murdering any of their Aryan kin who stood in their way like during The Night of the Long Knives.
Thomas Perry
YOU ARE EITHER GENUINELY IGNORANT REGARDING THIS SUBJECT, BESIDES NOT KNOWING WHAT FREEDOM IS, OR YOU ARE BEING DISINGENUOUS.
Owen Cruz
>for the non-German population of the East there must be no higher school than the four-grade elementary school. The sole goal of this school is to be simply arithmetic up to 500 at the most; writing of one's name; the doctrine that it is a law to obey the Germans and to be honest, industrious and good. I don't think that reading is necessary. I think I prefer the Soviets.
Benjamin Young
The thing about an ideological regime that purports to speak for ALL the people is it carries with it the corollary that anyone who doesn't agree must be an enemy. This thinking not only justifies the brutal extra-legal murder & imprisonment that the Nazi party paramilitary force routinely engaged in, it encourages it. So your freedom only extends as far as what the ruling party allows which in the cases of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy meant inarguable restrictions on personal liberties & constitutional rights.
Nathan Lewis
There is no such thing as the Aryan Race, it was all fantasy, pseudoscience, and LARPing.
Freedom? Nazism promoted giving up ones rights for the benefit of the state.
Jaxson Robinson
How is your own group arbitrary? He didn't exactly end up with Germanics as his preferred people chance

Ryder James
>There is no such thing as the Aryan Race
Not sure about that claim, it would be like saying there is no such thing as Arabs, Both are ethno-linguistic groups.
the Germans and Nords however are definitely not Aryans.
>Not sure about that claim, it would be like saying there is no such thing as Arabs, >Both are ethno-linguistic groups. When the right says "Aryan race", then they aren't talking about ethno-linguistic groups.
They are talking about race. About genes.
Jackson Rogers
It's just not correct though, it would be like me calling myself a Slav.
James Hill
I don't think you even read the article that I linked.
Robert Moore
We have to go deeper. The problem comes from Jews not being allowed to hold property and Christianity not allowing proper banking. The Cucked Jews aka Christians are the root to the problem.
Isaac Cruz
I did, it was some good ol fashioned Nazi science :^)
Charles Campbell
I see that you're a retard now.
William Mitchell
Say about them what you will: they did kill a lot of Jews.
Robert Phillips
Not that guy, but it's nonsense. There is not a single source proving this. Typical 19th century larping.
John Lewis
The Germans were pretty good at killing unarmed civilians, it was only a problem when they faced real soldiers.
Zachary Ward
They were good at killing these too. If there is anything Germany had mastered in WW1 and WW2 it's tactics.
Evan Torres
>Muh proud Aryan pastoralist worldview based on debunked science. Yes, i am too retarded to understand this logic.
Brandon Reyes
Not much use after massive strategic defeats.
Blake Powell
Tactics and strategy are different layers of war.
Caleb Reyes
Exactly but tactics are useless if the end result is the destruction of your nation the rape of your womenfolk and the appropriation and cultural purging of your cities (pronounced Königsberg).
