Okay… so Operation Paperclip was a good thing, because the Nazis were the good guys? Is that what everyone is saying now?
I would not conclude that Operation Paperclip was good. Now the U.S took their scientists because of their technology. In that case, good, but importing them here and later, give them senior positions, bad.
No.
Why would you conclude that?
Paperclip was to steal German technology, which I guess would be expected, since all governments are constantly trying to steal technology of everyone else.
"Nazi" was not the name that the German Socialists called themselves. It was a pejorative the jews used, because that word means "idiot." Clearly, they would not have called themselves that. It was used to dehumanize them, as often happens in war ("gook," etc.).
Yes, the German Socialists were the good guys, fighting against the bad guys. As Patton said, once he got to Berlin and met with the German people and the jews, he said, "We fought the wrong enemy." By that, he meant the communists, but he also was repulsed by the behaviors of the jews, and he knew the jews were behind communism.
He ded a few days later. Coinkidink, I'm sure ...
Your logic is faulty. The fact that the Communists were bad did not make the German Socialists the "good guys."
It was more or less a "choose your poison" scenario. Case in point: I once dated a fellow whose father fought in Hitler's army. I was reasonably appalled and asked him why on earth his father would have supported someone like Hitler. He responded, "He thought the communists were worse."
So perhaps it isn't a case of Patton thinking the German Socialists were such terrific people. He -- like my date's father -- may have considered them the lesser of two evils. That's nothing to recommend them.
The jewish communists were not merely bad. They were horrific barbaric people.
Anyone who is fighting such disgusting animals is good in my book, though there is much more to it than that. The Germans really were the good ones. Some of the best in the history of the world, in fact.
BUT ...
YOU would have to actually research the topic to understand why.
Your intereaction with a boyfriend and his father was meaningless because you had a pre-conceived idea of what to believe, and that idea was formed by indoctrination (that we have all been subjected to).
If you were to take the time to understand why so many of us here defend some or all of what the Germans did and were about, you just might have a better understanding of this aspect of history -- AND you would better understand what is going on today in the world.
It's also conceivable that you are a member of a neo-Nazi organization and have a biased opinion of the WW2 German state.
I don't believe my father or any of my uncles who served in that particular war would agree with your assessment. Nor would my mother and aunts who contributed to the war effort manufacturing aircraft, walkie talkies, and other needed supplies.
We can argue the treaty of Versailles until the cows come home. BUT...
In the final analysis, it was Hitler's lust for "Lebensraum" that kicked off the whole shebang on September 1, 1939 when he invaded Poland.
The agressor is always at fault. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
My dad was less aggravated at the Germans because he fought in the Pacific theater. His ire was directed toward the Japanese. My mother hated the Germans until the day she died because she lost friends in that war.
Never believe that because governments sign documents and say that "it's all over" that the hearts and minds of the populace agree. From what I knew of them -- the greatest generation never forgave and never forgot. And I don't blame them.
In case you are unaware of this fact -- history is compiled by interviewing people who lived during the period in which events occured. I challenge you to prove to me that the recollections of your sources are any more valid than the recollections of the many WW2 veterans I have known. They were also there and there is no power on earth that can play games and create revisionist history to make Adolph Hitler's Nazi regime the "good guys".
