Why isn't this shit marked as nsfw?
Does anyone know the camp and year of this photo?
July 2nd 1944, Dachau according to http://www.afmd-allier.com/PBCPPlayer.asp?ID=1105210
I was under the impression that the Sonderkommando photographs were the only ones depicting the actual murders and cremation of the bodies. At least that is what Wikipedia says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonderkommando_photographs#cite_note-3 unless it refers to Auschwitz II specifically.
Communists in the USSR weren’t that good either, don’t forget that too... Oh, and weren’t they also the ones that collaborated with the nazis from 1939 to 1941?
The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was not societ "collaboration" with the Nazis. It was a self-preserving, non-aggression treaty between a rising fascist empire hell-bent on destroying workers movements like communism as all fascists are and a young workers movement that had been besieged since it's inception. It gave them the time they needed to industrialize and prepare for the inevitable war with the Germans which they sacrificed so much for. 80% of Nazis were killed by the red army and 27 million soviets died for it.
Calling that pact collaboration is incredibly direspectful to their history and reveals a severe lack of understanding in both politics and the material situation of those societies at the time.
Yup. I hate historical revisionism. The pact was strategic, not a tacit approval of Nazism.
Even if you view it from the German point of view, it was the same. Hitler didn't suddenly like Communism for a short while. He had to build up his forces for invasion.
Ahistorical both sidesing garbage. Read a book some time, TV pop culture and Reddut comments aren't a substitute.
Don't be a condescending prick, comrade.
They're definitely misrepresenting the situation, like @ComradeSharkfucker explained, and I think it would be great if someone could make/share a FAQ so we wouldn't have to keep typing this by hand. But telling people to read a book some time is the arrogant crap that alienates us from the people we need on our side. More people are reading this than the person you replied to.
Stalin promised a million soviet soldiers to france and britain to stop hitler. They both refused, as they saw the soviets as their bigger enemy, the brits having used troops to stop the russian revolution less than 2 decades before.
The USSR signed a non-aggression pact after trying to get the Western Powers to help protect Czechoslovakia. The Western Powers of course denied this, as they wanted the Nazis to kill the Soviets. The Soviets ended up killing 80% of the Nazis that died in WWII, the scale of the Eastern Front was many times larger than the Western. Moreover, Americans and other western powers were ordered to not attack western business assets in Nazi Germany. This is because the West had ties to the Nazis, while the Communists and Nazis hated each others guts.
The Red Army saved the world from fascism, and paid the price with tens of millions of lives. They are heroes.
did the ussr applied fordism to wholesale killing of human beings? no. next question.
Normilizing fascism through comparison instead of rejecting fascism is literally how the Nazis came to power
Good job parroting the propaganda like a good nazi dog
One day you might self reflect long enough to know how fucking dumb you sound defending literal Nazis
Please frame your whataboutism properly with a "what about the" prefix.
You can't tell the truth here.
Sorry not sorry but this shit-hole community is just pig fuckers all the way down to the smelly core.
