Doesn't why we fight also have a scene where german prisoners are executed as the americans drive by? I've always wondered about that one because in the truck they just kind of shrug it off. why we fight is an episode i think i've only ever watched once because as you say it's a really tough watch

Jerusalem posted:Yep, I had actually forgotten because there is a LOT going on. I'm not sure which troops it is doing the execution, I don't think they were American but from memory they just haul a couple of soldiers out of their post and unceremoniously shoot them in the head, and the Americans are a little surprised but also too exhausted to really pay it much more mind than that. It certainly doesn't stand out in their memories like the Speirs story, which I think might have been part of the point of showing it in this episode? yeah iirc it isn't americans that did it. the americans shrug it off, and then it immediately gets forgotten because goddamn they find the camp

I was under the impression that soviet russia post wwii was incredibly anti semetic, though I'm happy to be corrected on that Or is this just like a tankie joke communists are never bad guys kind of thing

McNally posted:The German populace was far more complicit in the war crimes of the Nazi government than popularly believed. I've always wondered about stuff like this, what can the baker/a hypothetical German do? Was making a run for the border and trying to defect a viable option at any point?

Arc Hammer posted:Watch the Deep Space Nine episode "Duet" which explores that very question in a fictional context. Spoilers: the character in the episode worked at a death camp and was so horrified by the atrocities and his own cowardice that he disguises himself as the camp operator in an attempt to force his homeworld to admit to their complicity in genocide by goading the camp sirvivors into publicly executing him for war crimes. This doesn't feel like it's answered the question but I'll read it again when I'm not falling asleep

Like even if he was opposed to what was going on it doesn't seem like franz bakenbauer could actually much about it that isn't like.... try and poison some local nazis, which might work once and hopefully wouldn't result in the death of everyone in his family? ilmucche fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Apr 15, 2024 |

Orange Devil posted:They never once, other than this one single protest, even try to protest against the Nazi government. So don't loving sit here and try to lecture about all the bad things that surely would have happened to them if they had protested. Because they didn't. And the one single time they did, they got everything they protested for with no repercussions. Just so I understand, you're saying that the people who organised resistance to the Nazis were the first to get sent to the camps, but there was no reason for anyone to expect consequences if they organised resistance to the nazis
