Nazi is a Political party, not a military force!

You're confusing a drive for historical accuracy with being a nazi sympathizer.

I AM trying to argue for historical accuracy, which means not giving criminals an honor that the International Military Tribunal refused to grant them in 1946. I'm also trying to differentiate between REAL German soldiers, airmen and sailors who did fight for their country instead of for the glory of the Nazi party, REAL German soldiers, airmen and sailors who HATE being lumped in with the SS. The SS were criminals, not soldiers. That is not political rhetoric, that is not historical revisionism, that has been their legal standing since 1946. If you have a problem with that, take it up with history and the IMT. You were the one who said used the words "Nazi sympathizer," not me.

Did you even read the original post, or do you assume anything that doesn't immediately demonize Nazis is white supremacist propaganda?

This should sum it up for you.

I'm defending those same people by saying that German soldiers, airmen and sailors who fought honorably should not be lumped in with people who WERE criminals. And you're the one who just called all Germans from the period Nazis. Germans are not to be demonized, Nazis are.
