Victory, sweet victory over the fascist scum. The Hiterlites of G*rmany brought this war upon themselves. Damn Stalin for thinking he could trust the Hiterlites oh was he wrong.

The arrogant G*rmans thought they could conquer the Soviet country, and subjugate the Soviet people, they played stupid games and won stupid prizes.

Sad. As a german with relatives who had to flee the first wave of commie rapists, real sad.

My grandpa told me that once the first week was over and other russians and especially higher ups arrived the situation normalized and rapists and the like were often shot on the spot by their higher ups. Before that you could only hide and hope or run. My grandma hid in a cabinet in some cellar for 5 days until grandpa found means to get the fuck out of the east and to NRW.

Why do all these pseudo commies who would be the first one to be send to the gulag think that the soviets first wave was anything of worth.
Its was steppe mongols and pretty much nothing else, more chinese than russian, send into the meatgrinder. After that it changed, no other faction made so much military progress in the war years as the soviets. But still. Im correct.

>>3255597
typical WHERE ARE THE PROOFS!!!
Proof is that most of our losses were exactly where i said they were, at the frozen hellscape of stalingrad and the surroundings. I dont know the exact number anymore but a really big portion of our losses were at stalingrad.

The land is naturaly hostile in winter yeah, but the old tacticts of the ruskie of burning down everything and taking everything of worth while retreating is smart and effective.

Given operation barbarossa was retarded because hitler demanded stalingrad to be taken just because of the name.
They already destroyed it, if they had jsut go around it to moscow it wouldve been a whole different story. Instead they got the meatgrinder urban warfare shitshow of stalingrad.
Cant imagine how it was for either side to fight there.

Soviets are not a hive-mind. Why can you tell the distinction between German civilians, Wermacht, SS and the Nazi party but not between the Red Army, Soviet civilians and the Communist Party?

The Russian soldiers of WWII are ultimately heroes and communism is a tragedy that struck the Russian people the most.

Yeah it's a tragedy and also tragic that the Soviet army was used to take as much land as possible and to the civilian population they proved to be worse than Germans which is no small feat.

Most russian soldiers of ww2 that actually advanceed into western europe were mongolian steppe niggers, cannon fodder. And yes communism hit the actual russians real hard, i mean native russians were systematicly genocided by the soviets, yet its not that bad and my god that holocaust ! all this fixation on the holocaust and how many jews died there (plenty of non jews died in those camps) is absolutely retarded and disrespectful of all teh people that died in gulag or in american pow camps or anywhere in the theater of this war.

And people who actively defend communis should be send to maos china or stalin russia to live in the amazing world that communism creates. blue eyed naive sheltered shits.

Tha Nazis killed 2.7 million Poles, the Soviets around 150.000. They were not worse. Those are official estimates made by modern Polish historians from IPN.

The Nazis and Ustase also killed much more people in Yugoslavia than the Soviets. Your anecdotal evidence means absolutely nothing.

How about Soviet camps. Or how about Siberia?

Both Germans and Soviets used exactly the same tactics during different periods. Soviets were first to start policy of extermination based on nationality in late 30s. During WWII and early occupation both were just as harsh but the circumstances changed later during the war. It all depends on the timeframe. But based on the things I've heard personally and read I will never agree that Soviets were lesser evil.

Didn't it go through your head maybe that we also use German pre-war and WW2 records and documents to write this history you wish to revise? Or is this one-sided too?
>>
>>3256131
No it wasn't. It simply wasn't. They already exterminated Polish population in their own country and after 1939 both were just as dangerous. Both were killing the elite, the officers and sending people to labor camps. In fact on the Soviet side it was even more random. And originally I was talking about the attitude of average soldiers to average civilian.

I can smell the indoctrination on you, i can see your empty gaze. You probably own a che guevara shirt. Im not even left or right. I try to look at it in a neutral way.

It's really not comparable.

This is a fragment from Himmler's Treatment of Alien Races in the East (1940):

>Within a somewhat longer period, it should also be possible to make the ethnic concepts of Ukrainians, Gorals and Lemcos disappear in our area. What has been said for those fragments of peoples is also meant on a correspondingly larger scale for the Poles.
>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 divine law to obey the Germans and to be honest, industrious, and good. I don't think that reading is necessary.

>This population will, as a people of laborers without leaders, be at our disposal and will furnish Germany annually with migrant workers and with workers for special tasks (roads, quarries, buildings): they themselves will have more to eat and more to live on than under the Polish regime; and, though they have no culture of their own, they will, under the strict, consistent, and just leadership of the German people, be called upon to help work on its everlasting cultural tasks and its buildings and perhaps, as far as the amount of heavy work is concerned, will be the ones who make the realization of these tasks possible.
Do you think this is less bad than just a communist regime?

>You know that this is a quote for like the 1700s right
You know this doesn't help your argument right? Historiography and source critique have progressed immensly since the times of Gibbon and Voltaire.
>And documents have never been forged to get the public on your side
Right, another jewish conspiracy.
>Im just saying that the germans were made the boogeyman for everything ww1 and ww2
They've been made so for a reason. They are mostly responsible for the first war and completely responsible for the second one.
>And stop with your buzzwords. I can smell the indoctrination on you, i can see your empty gaze
Amazing ad hominems, but that will not help your argument. I like how you revisionists always pretend to be objective and neutral when in reality you just want to push your cause and revise history. You're more subversive than the jews in your fantasy tales.
>A fuck you from the bottom of my heart to end this should be enough
Fuck you too but no, that will not be enough. Don't try to get out of this just because you have nothing to prove.

Really conflicted. Yes, it's the symbol of the end of the war in Europe, but the cost as enormous, and you see that in the picture as well by how ruined Berlin looks. On top of that, the Soviets were brutal in their taking of Berlin, and the Germans were putting old and sick out there with weapons as a desperate last line of defense.

Plus, it signals (to me) the start of the Cold War, seeing the Soviets planting their flag over the capital of Germany like that.

I think if I needed to pick one word, I'd say sobering. Not many images capture war, especially World War II, quite like this.

Again. For people who saw both armies Soviets were more dangerous. Can't change their memoirs those are their testimonies. They were more scared of the Soviets.
The policy of both regimes was changing from time to time but both were using the same tactics (Gestapo learned from NKVD).

It's relative vs. absolute as we can see on the map. In late 30s USSR basically anihilated the Polish population, During the war they did the same things as Germans including robbery, murder, arrests etc. This included local communists as well. Of course losing Germans accelerated the extermination programs. But basic principle of both was the same: kill undesirables and total disregard to others. After the war it meant politicians and soldiers who couldn't been a threat to the new regime. Of course since people living there couldn't talk about these things and because the West was at least partially responsible for it of course fewer people know about it but recently more historians like Snyder or Moorhouse have written about the subject.
No lesser evil.

Why are you posting this map?

>In late 30s USSR basically anihilated the Polish population
In the USSR, yes. This is a map of Second Polish Republic.

>For people who saw both armies Soviets were more dangerous.
Are you sure that for, for example, citizens of Warsaw Soviets were more dangerous?
>>

What he tries to argue is revisionism, yes. It makes actual sense since he actually advocates it.

Do you realise that all you do in this thread is hating on anything axis? You dont evne care about the stuff other people say, youre like a commie shill, nothing more. Not even interested in the subject youre just here to spew your half assed shit and belittle people that think differently than you.
>>

My lot?
Im not from pol mate, i was mainly on /ck and /x before i went here for a bit.
All this here is, is a shitslingling contest between larping nazis and larping commies who are nothing else but directionless yankees who fell for the divide and conquer tactic.

But I dont like semites a lot, I give you that but thats probably self hate since im half german and half jewish.
>>
>>3256278
The map is because you talked about raw numbers. Plus you have to take into account special circumstances. Warsaw in 1944 was not only a major German occupied city but the uprising provoked the kind of reaction that is typical foroppressive regimes usually when challenged such a way. Especially the one that was losing the war.

Out of respect for the victims I usually say that Nazis and Commies were just as bad but I also remember what I've been told.
>>
>>3256293
Ah so i'm a commie now. Cool.

Of course you aren't, you just happen to advocate things that fall into their narrative.

>>3256308
Pls dont try to argue with him that both sides were practially the same when it came to dealing with non commies/ non nazis and collaborateurs

Wont work, I tried. On here your eitehr one side or another, they only deal in extremes it seems.
Its a lefty version of pol or something with a few pol dudes invading and baiting the shit out them. and vice versa.
>>
>>3256311
Advocating look at both sides of the coin and taking an ideology that is known for the effective propaganda with a grain of salt? (this fits both the nazis and the commies)
Alright matey.
>>
>>3256308
I like to talk about raw numbers because they are the only ones that matter. Anecdotal evidence can be misleading. Thanks to statistical data we know that the Soviet occupation was not as bad as the Nazi one, but that doesn't mean they weren't also bad.

My grandma lived in the East and for her the worst ones were not Germans or the Soviets but Ukrainians.
>>
>>3256287
>anything axis
Not really, it's more like hating anything kraut. That includes kommunism too, btw.
>>
>>3256323
I've never found a single "researcher" who didn't try to "look at both sides of the coin" without being one-sided. It usually just ends as pure apologetism of one side and condemnation of the other.

This especially goes for Nazi-Germany apologists, and it's always the same shit with them. We wuz good boys, everyone else around us were evil, we wuz misunderstood.
>>
>>3256325
Even many American historians now acknowledge that the Soviet occupation was just as bad. And it's significant because it's out there it's uncommon. Almost taboo. Stalin was supposed to be lesser evil. Of course Snyder and co rarely find anything new for people who actually had relatives there but it's good that they spread the message. And Norman Davies forgot about him. For a leftist he's a great advocate of equating III Reich and USSR and their policy. But of course it's mainly people who investigate singular cases, study documents (which isn't easy considering Russia denies almost everything) so we have a picture of daily life under occupation. That's how we know it was just as bad.

Being unbiased doesn't mean being dishonest.
Neonazis expect taking their sources into account.

I think the best example of this in work is Che Guevara (because commies and nazis are so alike it doesn't matter). Commies always sperg when some article or video says something bad about him. Does that make the article biased? I'd just call it historically accurate. Being unbiased doesn't mean "Well one side says this but those who disagree say this"

I mentioned in one of my previous posts but i'll say it again, since you obviously can't read. We DO take first-hand sources from Nazi Germany into account, they aren't ignored because of some jewish commie conspiracy like you fags think. What actually helped us form the view of Nazi Germany we have today are those same accounts and records. Einsatzgruppen reports, reports of camp governors, even first-hand accounts from the big guys like Himmler himself. Everything is catalogued.

But no, you aren't interested in that. You are interested in pushing your own narrative, which ignores actual sources when it's necessary.
>>
>>3256382
I barely read those posts. I came here to fight. But seriously I just went back from /pol/ and as usual there was a thread about the origins of WWII, Hitler's policy towards Jews and fake quotes from Polish politicians who apparently couldn't wait to start a war with Germany, or British government controlled by the Jews and how Hitler only wanted peace and how nazis dindu nothing.
This puts you in a certain mood. Especially since they can't see how their infographics are clearly politicall charged.
>>
>>3256353
I don't know any historians like that. Snyder is definitely not one of them.
