No mention of British intel supporting Hitler and Mussolini in the first place? Wasn’t just Hitler who wanted an alliance against the Soviets, that moron Churchill considered it a possibility too!
He was certainly no fan of the Boksheviks, no question about it. He lived through WW1, when they signed the Brest-Litovsk Treaty and pulled out of WW1 against the Central Powers. When was British intel supporting the Axis Powers though? Sounds a little counterproductive, given his harsh opposition to them.
The British openly speculated about the utility of Hitler against the Soviets, the diplomatic and intel side of it was much more nefarious. Chamberlain boys and the US capitalists etc who funded the Nazis and cozied up to them after the war are responsible, as for Mussolini this is also well known. Quick search on this site for WWII terms brings up numerous extensive discussions about this so I have no reason to believe this will be taken seriously either lol
Britain ‘secretly backed’ Mussolini’s March on Rome
Of course they did. They also speculated about the utility of using Stalin against the Axis. These things are common in global politics.
Ah, in 1922. That makes more sense. Cozied up to a few of them post-war I suppose, the ones that didn’t hang anyway.
Blowhard thing to say not even going to bother with it
A few of them lol? For starters this is a very common meme have you not seen it? Doesn’t even get into staffing the entire govt of West Germany with Nazis. Tip of the iceberg. Don’t just bluff your way through history
Blowhard or not, it’s completely true.
No, I don’t find memes on social media to be healthy sources of information. Fine for light-hearted entertainment, but usually more propagandistic than educational when they try to be serious. Real history is entirely too complex for anything worthwhile to be conveyed with simple factoids.
Well it’s a very complex issue for you, I’m sure, but have you considered Googling their names?
I wasn’t saying I was unfamiliar with all the people, you may recall from just a couple comments ago that I agreed there was collaboration with some people that were not hung.
You asked if I’d seen the meme. I answered truthfully, no, and I told you why. I think you’re more interested in trolling than giving any fucks though, judging from your tone.
It’s actually hilarious that there are still people out there who think the Nuremburg Trials were effectively the end of the fascist international. Was hardly even the beginning. You act like being hung was not an exception for the perpetrators of the Holocaust
