Where Junkers evil?
I just read at the end of WWII the Junkers were more or less blamed for 200 years of war and their homes burned with countless artifacts, they were force migrated resulting in thousands of death, and what remained of their wealth was confiscated.
Ignoring the ironic fact that they were stereotyped as evil and blamed for starting wars by people who were offended the Nazis did this to Jews, was there a point to this?
Were they really an evil race of warlord that had to be violently destroyed forever? Their way of life and nation is completely gone from the map and culture.
Seems like a meme to me.
They were if nothing else a bunch of elitist assholes.

They were basically just a bunch of useless assholes. Military nobility sitting on farmland like it was 1400 or something. Bismark had a hard-on for them so he naturally shaped the entire government around them, instead of the monied interests that actually built successful economies and governments in the industrial age.
Reminder that if Claus von Stauffenberg succeeded in killing Hitler, the world would be significantly worse.

Otto was himself a Junker. Of course he created a government that gave his group disproportionate influence to secure his grip on power.
