Why do Americans get all the hate for "traveling back to our ancient homelands to kill our brothers & sisters" when the vast majority of European white men chose to either sit on the sidelines or fight against Hitler's crusade? Well?!

SA man up until 36. Left then 'cause loyal to Hitler.
Munitions driver on the Western front during the French invasion
Then comfy planning job in a German city for the rest of the war.
Almost lost the material goods he had gained through his position, but the "de-nazification" stopped (pfew)
Was a kind man. Disgusted by the atrocities when they came to light.

>Why do Americans get all the hate
It's not about what you did then. It is just that you are nauseating fucks now. If you were normal people instead of bleeting LARPers you'd be respected.

Had 2 of them.

One of them was captured by the germans in 42 I believe(he was wounded and KOed) but he escaped.
Same thing happened at the end of the war and he was released cause the war was over.
Then sent to Siberia for a couple of years, on Stalins order, cause he "must be a traitor since he survived"

The other one was also an infantryman. He stormed Berlin and also survived. Dont know much about his endeavours.

>Hey Euros, what were YOUR grandfathers doing in WW2?

Father of my mother was only 17 in 1945. He was made to dig trenches. He was in the Hitler Youth before. Never really saw any righting, was briefly in a French POW camp - the French were the worst people he ever met.

Father of my father was a lawyer. He became a father rather late and my father was his second kid. So by 1940, he was already older than 45 and did not have to serve. He kept arranging himself with the regime, but always remained a committed monarchist like his father.

>Grandfathers on both sides were too young
>Their fathers were farmers
From as far as i can tell they just kept farming.

For most people in the Netherlands it was just civilian life.
Some fought in the resistance, some larped in the resistance and quite a few joined the Germans in the Wehrmach and SS.
>>
>Why do Americans always get the hate blablabla
Because most of you just LARP like retarded palsy down syndrome shitters who scream muh heritage I'm 1/258th German one day and bash on Europe a few minutes later in another thread.

No one cares your great great great grandparents were from Europe. You're not and never will be, no matter how much you LARP to fit in.

gramps was too young to serve, his father too old. One of his cousins died in Greece though, apparently he was a staunch fascist. Not sure about the other men in the family.

>>136052513
oh yeah and another great-uncle was captured by the britbongs I think in N.Africa and shipped to a POW camp in India. Apparently he and his mates didn't get much food and had to eat the snakes that would slither into the cell. Gotta get them proteins I suppose.

Grandfather was a farmer and had German POWS on his farm. Got on well with them I think. Japs were seen as more barbaric because of their POW treatment.

Grandpas were busy colonizing Africa and Brazil on either side of my family branches.

Now I'm colonizing Germany. I suspect my family is Jewish but they deny it completely but for some reason we all own our own business and just talk about money on family gatherings. /pol/ taught me to connect back the dots about my own family, fuck.

Since I enlisted my grandparents mailed me a copy of my great uncle's Wartime Log. He was an officer in the Canadian Royal Tank Regiment (I think; I know he operated a tank.) He was captured near Normandy I believe - but it's strange because the book never details the capture. I found an online source mentioning him by name, saying his tank was destroyed by the Germans, and he ordered his men to fall back while he marched forward as an infantryman and was captured.

All throughout his log, he sounds like he likes the Germans more and more. I noticed, on his cover page, he lists his personal motto as "Freidheit und brot," which was a slogan used by the Nazis. He was transported through northern France, to Paris, where a riot had to be quelled when the civilians heard there were POWs. The Germans basically toured them around, showing them the Eiffel Tower and driving them through a village where the locals gave them good wine.

He mentions being transferred through Luxembourg, to NE Germany, and being almost bombed by allied planed 4 times, in spite of the CLEAR POW markings. He spent a short time in the camp that, after the war, was mentioned as being strictly extermination, and had smoke stacks constantly operating -- a detail he never mentioned in his log.

He was nearly starving, supply lines were cut badly. The Nazis still actually tried to entertain them with marching contests.

Not the good guys imo but not as evil as to deserve what the Russians did to the whole population as collective punishment.

Starving and scurrying in the streets of Marsa from one bomb shelter to another scavenging for food.

The other side of the family was digging a small private bomb shelter in the countryside but also starving.

Fuck the Germans
