    The Prussian military industrial complex was wild. Wehraboos fetishise it. Australians fetishise Rommel far too much. More on this another time.

      I don't think there really were military industrial complexes before ww1 and ww2. Wars back then were considered ruinously expensive and resented by the bourgeoise for their disruption in commodity production. The workers weren't big fans either given all the dying involved but no one cared what they thought

      The British built Rommel up after the war because that makes having beat him seem more impressive. A good general is a general that wins Rommel lost

        Shall I tell that to his grandson? Not me. A gay guy I used to know. Might be dead now. I last talked to him in 2015. He was abusing cocaine and antipsychotics. Liked guys to shit on his chest.

          who Rommels grandson? I don't like Rommel because he fought for Nazi Germany I don't see why I would want to involve his family. If Rommels grandson is not a Nazi I think that bygones should be bygones
