"Nazi is as Nazi does" - Adolph Gump

You rang??

Sure, gladly, Patriot!

I live here in "the west" for longer than a decade and what I see is that most of the "wessies" (~95%) are indoctrinated since generations (operation mockingbird, kalergi plan, etc) into submission, practically feeling guilty for what their grandfathers did and accepting everything (destruction of their culture, customs and tradition by MASS immigration, etc) without saying a word. When I once questioned it, the answer was: "how do you know that what you think is the right thing to do?" referring to my patriotic thinking. They are rejecting and questioning free thinking! I see them as soulless beings, empty vessels, at least from a patriotic point of view... And by patriotic I don't necessarily mean national patriotism, we Patriots are in a sense Human Patriots, we fight for HUMANITY, for OUR CHILDREN!

The "ossies" (Eastern-Germans) on the other hand grew up under communism, not saying that it was better, they were told for example a lot of lies about the communist party as I understood it, especially in the ending and were not allowed to question them but it became obvious that the system is crumbling... Critical thinking was developed, not extinguished... Somehow the patriotism was not destroyed in them, it was not the agenda of the communists, many of them (~70% or more) are true Patriots! AfD which was a beautiful organic patriotic rising in the beginning and lately infiltrated by clowns and attacked as "nazi", originates from there!

Hope I could explain my opinion a little...

Since I'm not a native, would be great to hear the opinion of one, maybe u/zeitreise : are you German? (zeitreise means time travel...)

It's a huge and unwieldy subject, and ever since May 1945 certain people have been trying to profit by peddling false narratives about the war.

Just for starters, you might try searching for the "Soviet Offensive Plans Controversy."

I could post a number of very long videos that tell some alternative versions of WW2 history, and I've found that some of what they say are true.

What I don't like are those that want to absolve the Nazis of all wrongdoing. These were not nice people; they were authoritarians and they did commit atrocities.

As always, the truth is somewhere in between. Let me know if you want the links, and I'll caveat in advance that I'm not condoning all of the info offered.

You could go back to my comment history to see some things, but probably best if you start off with the remarkable revelations brought out by the (immoral) Nuremberg Trials in the work "Made in Russia : The Holocaust" by Carlos Whitlock Porter. It's starting to disappear from sellers online, but still can be downloaded.

Almanacs and encyclopaedias pre WW2 are also incredible in showing the population levels and how it HAD to happen in Russia. It was simply impossible any other way.
