Hey USA why did you drop an atomic bomb on a defeated country that was ready to surrender, anyway?

    they also kept the Jews in the prison camps for months and up to a few years, and thousands of them died of malnutrition and disease after the end of the war, while still in camps. Also, General Patton refused orders to keep the Nazi prisoners and Jews separate, because he thought the Nazis were the best suited to keeping Jews in line. This means that after the war, the Nazis were prisoners and capos in charge of all the Jews they hated.

    We are the fourth reich

      Patton basically wanted to continue the war of extermination. from Losurdo’s Stalin:

      Take the example of general George S. Patton. He dreams of an immediate war against the Soviets: “We will have to fight them sooner or later […]. Why not now while our army is still intact and while we can push all those damn Russians all the way back to Moscow in three months? We could easily do it with the German troops that we have, just arm them and take them with us. They hate those bastards." Unfortunately, according to the American general, it’s the Jews who oppose this project. Full of resentment toward Germany, they harbor sympathy for the USSR: the “evident Semitic influence in the press” aims “to promote communism." There clearly emerges a line of continuity with the Nazi understanding of communism as a subversive Judeo-Bolshevik conspiracy: the enemies continue to be the communists, the Soviets and the Jews, the latter being “lower than animals."
