Wow

I feel like drawing attention to the image of the German soldiers.

It’s a common stereotypical perception that German soldiers were themselves very twisted and evil, that their thoughts and views were in line with that of Hitlers. As if killing one of them would make the world better in a way.

It’s really not that simple, we’re talking about Nazi Germany.

We’re talking about Hitler.

Many people were forced to fight for Germany- not because they wanted to, but because they simply had no choice in the matter.

Don’t take things face value, no matter what it is. These were people. I’m not saying all of them were in that position, but a good many were.

I felt that was worth pointing out when I saw that, it’s been on my mind for a while now.
