Yet America’s trying to pressurise Ukraine into handing Ukrainian territory to Russia…

As for “The UK would be speaking German if Starmer was in power in WW2.”
If Trump was in power, Hitler would be having tea and cakes on the White House lawn discussing immigration and extreme nationalist views with his closest American ally.

Great history lesson from post-WW2 Germany.

Once again, we need black people to tell us how we fuck up learning from our mistakes as privileged white people again & again.

That’s why they want to cancel DEI, I think. Because the oppressed will be the first to sound the alarm when we’re strolling down nazi avenue, joyously again.

They’ve seen this all before. Many times.

Wikipedia: "The #HitlerOath (German: #Führereid or #FührerOath)—also referred in English as the Soldier's Oath — refers to the oaths of allegiance sworn by officers and soldiers of the Wehrmacht and civil servants of Nazi Germany between the years 1934 and 1945. The oath pledged personal loyalty to #AdolfHitler rather than loyalty to the Weimar #Constitution of the country. Historians view the personal oath of the #NaziGermany as an important psychological element to obey orders for committing #WarCrimes, #Atrocities, and #Genocide. During the Nuremberg trials, many German officers unsuccessfully attempted to use the oath as a defence against charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity."

Author offers warnings after interviewing former Nazis for decades – Axios

Headshot of author Laurence Rees and the cover of his new book, “The Nazi Mind: Twelve Warnings from History.”

A British journalist whose BBC documentaries tackled the Nazi dictatorship’s chaos has released a new book exploring the minds of those who carried out the Holocaust and how they defended their horrible actions decades later.

Why it matters: The Nazi Mind: Twelve Warnings from History” released in the U.S. last week comes as antisemitism and new authoritarian regimes are rising around the world.

  • It also comes around the 80th anniversary of Allied Forces defeating Nazi Germeny known as VE-Day and as Holocaust denial misinformation spreads online.

London-based author Laurence Rees tells Axios he wasn’t interested in calling out any present world leader or current policy, but sought to examine why former Nazis did what they did and later insisted they were right.

  • That’s where we can draw the warnings, since it shows how lies, propaganda and prejudices can explain away accountability and crimes against humanity, Rees said.
  • “Nobody ever said I had a gun to my head, and I just had to do it. It was orders. And the reason they didn’t say it is because, actually, none of them ever did have a gun to their heads and had to do it for orders. It’s a myth.”

Zoom in: The book came from previously unreleased interviews Rees conducted with now dead former Nazis.

  • He combines that testimony with new psychological insights around obedience, authority and the brain.
  • He shows how the “us” vs “them” evolved into violent bigotry against former neighbors.
  • Like his previous works, Rees seeks to debunk widespread misconceptions and get into the minds of former Nazis through their own words.

Context: Rees earned praise for his BBC documentaries and his previous books like “Auschwitz: A New History,” sold at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial & Museum in Poland because of its sensitivity and reportage.

  • He has collected testimonies for Nazi veterans and Holocaust survivors to show the complexities of how the Holocaust evolved overtime.
  • Nazi veterans would talk about what the British were doing in India and what the United States did to Native Americans to call out the hypocracy of any criticism of Germany.

The intrigue: The book was released in the U.S. days before hip hop artistYe released a song praising Adolf Hitler that is spreading online despite attempts to remove it.
