They are wearing stahlhelms again and doing torchlit parades in front of the leader. Do they not know this is a very bad aesthetic for them, does the Red Army need to roll into Berlin again since they obviously didn't learn their lesson from last time.
Their military traditions come from the fucking nazis so yeah, it’s an extra level of terrible.
This particular one "only" comes from Prussian militarism via the Nazis
And Nazi militarism is just Prussian militarism taken to its logical conclusion.
In that case, we shouls torpedo the whole thing and make the Germans wear pastel colors only.
Unironically making Bavaria the new face of Germany is the second best thing.
Hitler fucking hate lederhosen
:yes-comm:
:soviet-heart:
If only it was just the military traditions they got from the nazis...
:strangelove-wow:
Which one of their traditions comes from the Nazis?
Easy one: the version of the grand tattoo performed in “reunified” germany removes the section from the DDR version that honored the victims of fascism and militarism.
There was a whole part focused on everyone who died during the first German Communist revolutions of 1918-19, the Nazi regime, and the subsequent resistance during WW2.
Also, if your cultural military traditions have been co-opted by the textbook embodiment of evil, just drop them.
There’s a whole “traditionless” movement for the military in Germany because of the increase in “clean Wehrmacht” neo-nazis that showed up when Germany started accepting Syrian refugees.
Good luck!
I don't understand what your response means, are you saying "good luck in removing nazi traditions"? Because like... yeah, that's the whole point.
