    I mean…maybe we just shouldn’t have nazis at all? I know my deceased purple heart WWII normandy beach storming grandfather would have prefered that outcome. In fact in the 90s, he was quite proud of the lack of nazis due to his and everyones combined efforts in the 1940s.

      I take it you haven’t seen the movie…

      spoiler

      The blonde on the pic was raised by Nazis on a moon base. She meets the black guy, realizes she’s been indoctrinated into a terrible regime and helps kill the fuhrer

      It’s very much a tongue in cheek comedy movie mocking Nazis.

      Uh, there wasn’t a lack of Nazis in '90s. The US, under Truman, partnered with the Vatican to save over 10,000 Nazis from justice and brought them to the US, its territories, and its vassal states. It gave them fake names and official documents, money, jobs, property, and protection. Then the US staffed the first generation of NATO with Nazi officers, and together they organized Nazis and Nazi collaborators all over Europe in a covert operation to arm, fund, train, and prepare them for a resurgence. In West Germany, former Nazi politicians were openly elected and appointed into government positions, and it was so egregious that some Germans and Scandinavians turned to terrorism in protest. The USSR had to build a wall completely around West Berlin because it was a small little polity in the middle of East Germany that was literally electing Nazis to power.

          It is an .ml account, not really surprising.

          Tagged as such and moving on

          They were 45 years after Operation Overcast and 30 years after Operation Paperclip officially ended. Which means Nazis got to regroup after having been defeated and cast into disarray by the USSR and spend 3 generations developing their program under the protection of the US military with the resources of the US economy.
