“ Is entire point of talking about WW2 is that we have built up an almost religious mythical view of WW2 which cannot be questioned. ”
No.
Many of us actually know history quite well. We knew the men fought in it and read their first hand accounts .
What we don’t need are people trying to soften up up what Hitler and the Nazis did.
Tired of the wacko revisionist history types.
Same with the left trying to soften up Communism .
I have read the first hand accounts too. Go read Patton’s diary. Read Pat Buchanan’s Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War.
We were manipulated into fighting in Europe and we fought the wrong enemy.
It is really curious to me that it acceptable to debate all kinds of different aspects of WW1, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, etc... but to question ANY of the revisionist narrative of WW2 is sacrilegious. I say “revisionist” narrative because the narrative we have today IS NOT the narrative we had in 1947.
The whole idea that the allies went to war with Germany to “save” the Jews IS revisionist history. By the way, we did a great job “saving” them when 6 million died in the war.
Maybe if Churchill wasn’t so eager to go war only 2 million or 3 million of them would have died (or maybe FAR fewer)? Maybe if we fought the right enemy, the 6 million who died at the hands of Stalin would have been only 3 million?
