Why did Germans commit so many war crimes and crimes against

>>1893795
Because like the mongols, they took huge swaths of territory and millions of people who don't want to be ruled by the invaders. To keep the peace and to keep rebellions low, extreme brutality is needed. Though Germany had an actively genocidal leadership

>>1893804
How come Napoleonic France managed to hold onto millions of conquered foreigners without violence and by giving them rights instead then?

>>1893804
But that really didn't work did it? They just provoked more and more resistance.

Because the winners had to paint their enemies are evil. Especially true for the Soviets, who had zero regard for civilian life, so they made it a point to portray the Germans as responsible for every single death in the war, thus presenting themselves as the smaller evil. A related thing is "The fascists wanted to kill all the Slavs" which is a commie propaganda fabricated so that people wouldn't complain that the alternative to the baby-eating Germans were the raping stealing subhuman Russians.

>>1893813
What about Spain?

>>1893818
I don't get your point, are you claiming their crimes were faked or something?

>>1893827
I'm claiming they were most probably exaggerated, especially by the Soviets.

>>1893820
Spaniards hated the freedom the French gave them and wanted their old tyrant ack instead
Serve them right

>>1893813
because of the growing admiration of the French Revolution among the underclasses. the Germans had nothing to offer anybody in 1945.

>>1893813
As another anon said, there were rebellions. And if you give people more rights than they had before, they won't rebel. I'm not saying the brutality method is the only method.
>>1893816
Yeah, the nazis weren't the smartest of people. Turns out if you kill all the Slavs in Slavic countries, the Slavs won't like it.

total war on meth is one hell of a drug.

>>1893813
Because the French weren't facist fuckwads touting a "Master Race" ideology.

>>1893818
>for every single death in the war,
A war that they started. Had the Soviets invaded first, which they may have eventually, then that would only serve Western Propaganda more during the Cold War. But no, the Germans invaded the russian border, abusing and massacring civilians as they saw fit. Thus why they get a terse treatment when they bitch about the Battle of Berlin.

>>1893831
Yeah but do you have any proof of that?

>>1893851
You're not refuting my point.

>>1893852
Do you?

>>1893838
This is a salient point. Meth was used extensively by the Germans and Japanese. Combine the psychosis and jackboot mentality and it's a shitstorm.

>>1893834
>the Germans had nothing to offer anybody in 1945
except unconditional surrender

He's not saying that really.
But to say that the Germans were the only ones to commit warcrimes is retarded.

>>1893858
Yeah, actually, most of these crimes are well documented and sources are widely available.
Even if you ignore East just look at what they did in Balkans and Italy, and in France on certain occasions.

>>1893858
What point? That da ebil Allies had to make up a story of the misunderstood germans so they would look better in comparison? The Western powers knew the Soviets were full of shit before the war started, and the Cold War began immediately after that. This isn't a dichotomy of the victors vs the losers, but an interwoven conflict of Nazism, Communism, and Capitalism.
And yet in the end, the Nazis initiated the aggression, and ended lives from the Atlantic ocean to the Ural mountains. But for some reason we had to make shit up so they would be extra evil.

>But for some reason we had to make shit up so they would be extra evil.
Exactly.

>>1893838
is this actually true or a meme

>>1893903
That was sarcasm.

>>1893870
What is not what OP implied either.

>humanity

Because they considered their enemies in the east as untermensch, inferior people.

Same justification the US used in Vietnam with the MGR (mere gook rule).
