His excuse for why his grandfather worked with the Nazis:
Prince Georg says his great-grandfather may have been wearing a swastika, but his primary motivation was to return the monarchy to power -- and he believed Hitler could make that happen.
He just wanted the monarchy to be restored. That is some argument.
Oh yeah, I only helped the Nazis slaughter all these people because I wanted my status to be restored.
Sometimes I don't know if these people actually listen to what they are saying. :stalin-shining:
Some excerpts from the article:
In a New York newspaper column published in 1933, Wilhelm praised Hitler's "clear-sighted and energetic leadership" and blamed communists and Jews for Germany's tattered reputation.
This new evidence was unearthed by Stephan Malinowski, a historian at the University of Edinburgh whose research has concluded that the Crown Prince significantly contributed to the Nazi regime. Malinowski, who declined to be interviewed for this story, is one of four historians commissioned by the government and Prince Georg's family to investigate the relationship between Wilhelm and the Nazis.
CNN interviewed five additional historians for this story, four of whom now side with Malinowski, though most also agreed that neither side's case is iron-clad. Among them is John Rohl, who said that the Crown Prince had once bragged "that he had actually transposed 2 million votes to Hitler," and Stephanie Middendorf, who argues that he helped make the Nazis more palatable to the upper-class elites he rubbed shoulders with.
It's fucked up that they pay repartions at all. The government is just handing out public funds to people, literally for no other reason than that their ancestors were nobles who sat around oppressing the poor for centuries. Wtf.
The most fucked up reparations were the ones the US government paid to its capitalists for the capital/factories they lost that was allocated in Nazi Germany.
The most fucked up reparations were the ones where Haiti had to pay compensation to France for slaves that were liberated during the independence war and the fact that they were paying these reparations for 140 fucking years until 1947.
Honorable mention: The fact that British taxpayers were paying off the debt incurred in 1835 in order to compensate slave-owning families until 2015
Capitalism is the sum of all crimes
Challenge: Can anyone find out a more fucked up reparations then this?
