Those Red Cross women, holding flags as their only defence: definite bravery there.

@eggbertfarnsworth5787 3 жыл бұрын

@Tyler Wilson Showing yourself to be a medic, IS a defence. So is shooting back, hiding behind a rock or tree, and countless other things to keep from being hurt. As far as respect for the Rules of War, I doubt all soldiers were that. The Nazi's didn't exactly follow the rules. Neither has the American Army in recent years when it comes to POWs, mass annihilation, etc. Didn't Trump pardon some of them? So I stand by what I said: definite bravery there. I've now noticed that Steve&LizDonaldson stated something similar further down.

@@bingobongo9521 Of course most people did not actively resist! It was always a minority who fought actively. But most people rejected the German occupation, and resisted in their hearts, or through passive resistance actions. That is history (which is widely documented by historians, based on police and territorial intelligence reports). In addition, 1.8 million men were military prisoners in Germany, plus 650,000 young forced labourers. There were also 400,000 deaths. This reduced the number of people of fighting age and condition. Many others stayed with their families, to feed them at a time when there was very little to eat. But above all, the occupying troops were far more than "a few thousand", since they were massively stationed along the Atlantic and Mediterranean coast to avoid a landing. Moreover, to face a professional and mechanical army, with a few guns and without training, is an illusion. Moreover, the Vercors and Glières maquis were liquidated in this way.

Its about the shortcomings of the enemy, the bravery of your team and so on. History tells you that your fate indeed depend on with side of a border you are born. Sometimes you fight in what you truly believe is right sometimes you don't care as long as you and your family, friends and so on survive. The propaganda movies on all sides shows you macho resistance men with a cigarette and a gun, the other side shows you well equipped elite soldiers on a Panther moving towards the enemy. All are humans individuals staging for us to choose the right side. Not only in the 40s but for now.

What a poor, tasteless comment. This is the worst case you could give to support your arguement. Nazi germany was ,objectively, one of the most deviant, cruel and oppressive regimes in human history. Standing up against it is moral. Collaboration is not. This has nothing to do with the side of border you were born in. Trying to justify axis war crimes as allied propoganda shows very extreme levels of historical ignorance and fascist apologism. I could easily let this slide in the context of ww1, for example, but not this. You are from the future, you can judge history from a moral and objective point of view. Why would you go out of your way to make it seem like ww2 was just "another" conflict that didnt include some of the most horrific and unjustified actions in human history? In what way is parisians standing up for their city seem negative and nazis destroying it positive? Use your brain. Not everying or everyone is biased. Some people can glance over their nationality/heritage and judge things as they were.
