    “Yeah we should have just killed every German! That would show those dumb Nazis!”

    Damn if only there was a middle ground between execution and funneling Nazi elite into your highest echelons of power

      It’s not the epic own they seem to think it is that they hear “German” and jump straight to “Nazi”. Insecurity much?

      And also there were far too many Germans that should’ve stopped breathing permanently who continued occupying positions of power.

        Everybody always wants to talk about operation paperclip (“we recruited the good nazis”) absolutely nobody ever wants to talk about operation bloodstone (haha just kidding we went out of our way to make sure we recruited all the bad nazis too, and immediately placed them in the kind of intelligence roles with unchecked power and funding, the kind of shit most governments would refuse to ever acknowledge could even exist)
