“The Allies imposed guilt on us. Yes.’’ Like Hell they did!. You Germans, those of that generation anyway, were guilty the moment they put that shrieking , anti-Semitic Austrian misanthrope in power!
“Fuhrer befiehl wir Folgen!’’ they all screamed.
Let’s play, “What If?’’.
What if Nazi Germany had won the war, a war it had every intention OF winning
We wouldn’t be discussing this right know and I’d really know how to speak German.
Please calm down.
I wouldn‘t be here either, since (pardon me when I repeat myself), since, handicapped as I am, I would have been murdered, as my great uncle was, who suffered from the same as I do. And his cousin didn‘t escape either…
And what I was saying, I understand the anger at all the unspeakable things perpetrated by the Nazis and their collaborators.
What had been unclear to me was that not long afterward, the Powers that Be in the Allied nations used similar tactics to shame their own populations.
What logic is to it. The Allies did not genocide anyone. Thus, the accusations from their own power elites appear preposterous to me.
Thus, my assumption was that this was an evil trick, perpetrated on the peoples of America, Britain etc. by their Mighty Ones. The rulers against their own people.
That is all I wished to say, and I am baffled, why they would act like this.
