a post about how many nazis remained in positions of power is made, the op is called a tankie and people defend the decision to keep nazis around
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
It sounds like he was a Nazi, you don't get to join the SS, oversee slave labour camps and executions, and not be a Nazi. I don't think his motives mattered if he was willing to kill 20,000 people in his slave rocket factory. He should have been hanged, his expertise be damned.
I don't think the USSR would've hanged him if they got him first.
They'd probably treat him worse and not let him head any agency though. Which would be a better course of action.
Oh I agree, I doubt anyone who got their hands on Von Braun would have hanged him due to his expertise, that's mainly wishful thinking on my part
The Soviets did kill quite a few experts when they were too corrupted. It was of course a strategic decision how to act towards them, but it wasn't as easy as in the USA.
