"Not much is known about Generalleutnant Fritz von Kraut. We know he was a brave and competent military commander, but we don't know about his political beliefs or his attitude towards national socialism."
My parents watched one recently which, to my incredible surprise, interviewed a living female Red Army sniper. She was the only Soviet representation, meanwhile they had on two or three guys from the German army talking about how bad things got at Stalingrad while they were attacking and blockading it.
Unlike the Germans, the Soviet woman wore all of her medals for the interview

"Sigma rule Zhukov: Reject Hitler from Stalingrad like art academy in Austria."
Libs when talking about socialists and socialist projects during the cold war : "They were bad and evil and the people behind them just wanted to be bad and evil, because that's how bad and evil communists are."
Libs when talking about literal Nazis (or US war criminals) : Flattery and white washing, thinly veiled as "nuance."
'Fritz "Burner of Polish Villages/the Devil of Minsk/Drinker of Russian Maidens Blood" von Kraut is not known to have directly committed any warcrimes'
Absolutely no idea what the political affiliations of Obersturmfuhrer Heinz "Der Jewslaughterer MegaNazi Prime" Hitler 2k could have been
But did you see how uncivil those Slavs were being about their impending extermination? They didn't even get protest permits!
"Von Kraut's Unit, the 2nd Belarusian Town Destroyers allegedly burned down ten towns in Belarus"
The gentlemen soldier skillfully trapped the peasants via maneuver warfare, or Bervegunskrieg as it’s known among his noble Prussian military brethren.
HE didn’t shoot Jews guys! He just ordered his troops to shoot Jews! That makes him an innocent smol bean uwu
"Rommel was a respectable guy even if he was playing for the opposite team" - a thing I've seen liberals seriously say more than once (except for the opposite team part, that was me doing some comedic hyperbole)
It's all part of the "Clean Wehrmacht" propaganda campaign to make incorporating the NAzis in to NATO palatable and keep anyone from asking what the Wehrmacht was doing in Eastern Europe.
lmao they always are way too lenient with the Nazis while using every opportunity to disparage the Soviets.
Liberals also fall over themselves to say Robert E. Lee was brave and honorable and also a very handsome boy
There's another insidious bit of the propaganda regarding Lee and a narrative that he fought for The State of Virginia rather than the confederacy which is almost-but-not-quite saying he did it out of concern for states rights.
Fritz von Kraut
No
I refuse to believe this is a real man
I believe wholeheartedly that he was a Nazi, but one ala Colonel Klink
I could not remember what they said the guy's name was and substituted a joke that I hoped was obvious
He clearly got out of it by shouting "I know nothing! I see nothing!" when being on trial in The Hague.
What did he eat for breakfast? Did he put the milk before or after the cereals? How could you condemn him without knowing the answer to those questions just because he was a Nazi?
When you gotta pad the word count on the shitty essay you half assed the night before due date.
A new Netflix doc i saw was basically nazi propaganda when it came to the eastern front
The allies should have shot every Nazi officer they got their hands on, but I guess if they did that they would have had no one to run NATO
Churchill had a fucking cry when Stalin suggested killing between 50~100K N*zi officers. Guess he didn't want to lose the manpower.
"He had remarkable intelligence, insight, and persuasion, all the qualities to make a successful commander, but it's unclear whether he understood his own personal connection to the Nazi project."
he can't be antisemitic 
"Allegedly"
