No, which is why i said "over the age of majority". Do you understand what that means? (I certainly don't think the bombing of Hiroshima was acceptable. Dresden, i'm a lot more ambivalent about.)

The big difference between Dresden and Hiroshima is that Imperial Japan's worst atrocities were carried out on foreign soil whereas Dachau was right in the heart of Germany, a suburb of Munich

Oh yeah the postwar claims of German adult civilians that they had no idea the Holocaust was going on just up the road from them did ring pretty hollow, certainly. Does that justify burning them and their children alive?

Dresden wasn't a judicial punishment, it was an act of war intended to disrupt the German war machine and break the morale of the populace in order to hasten surrender On those utilitarian grounds, it was justified

Slaughtering Jews, in Hitler's view, was necessary to winning the war. I think that view was wrong for the same reason I think slaughtering German civilians was wrong. Civilians are not legitimate military targets in themselves.

This is both gross and incredibly historically inaccurate.

What is inaccurate about it? Hitler says himself that ALL Jews were the enemy of the Reich. They were, for him, all legitimate targets. I think that logic is evil. I also think he wasn't the only one to engage in that kind of categorical thinking.

The Holocaust had nothing to do with "winning the war." Nothing at all. Had there been no war--in some bizarre world where the Allies just let Hitler take over Europe--the Holocaust would have happened exactly as it did, but at larger scale.

Really? What do you make of this? The actual policy of the Nazi Party toward Zionism and the Jews changed over time. Removal ultimately came to mean total extermination, but that wasn't always the case. See Haavara:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavara_Agreement …

I do not support ethnic cleansing, but I also think that cooler heads might have prevailed in the 1930s. Had Britain fulfilled the Balfour declaration in the early days of the Nazi empire much bloodshed might have been averted.

You don't approve of ethnic cleansing by the Germans of the Jews but the ethic cleansing of the Germans by the Czech after Potsdam is such an evil it makes you think WWII wasn't worth fighting Nazi apologist piece of shit

Read that dude's bio. He's clearly got some Reich-swag hidden in a closet that he only shows to the "right kind" of guest

He's exactly parroting the fake pacifism spouted by American Nazis *during* WWII
