Liberals are being like “Nooo don’t you understand this iron cross is slightly different from the one we used when we killed 6 million Jews, it’s totally different I swear.”
this iron cross is slightly different from the one we used when we killed 6 million Jews
They now understand that "free markets for individuals" is superior to "totalitarianism" which cruelly oppressed their PMC comrade Eichmann. Smash the Stalinist state for refusing our oppressed Ukrainian comrades the ability to cross the border to sell their blood!
how does this fascism keep winding up in my zionism?

ShowWhy the fuck is Germany even allowed to have an Air Force?
Why the fuck is Germany even allowed to have an Air Force?
Don't worry, it's a terrible air force. We have two types of combat aircraft - one is a sort-of-good 50+ year old design MRCA that will be replaced by the F-35 (genius move!) and the other is an interceptor designed in the 80s that was pushed into the fighter-bomber role. The project was so bad that France left and developed their own plane - they managed to finish the design faster and cheaper.
Oh and the entire Bundeswehr is basically the worst army money-efficiency-wise. We pay almost as much as Britain or France, who have like nuclear subs and actual nukes. Germany has less tanks than Poland. It's a giant grift, maybe worse than the friggin' Pentagon. Everybody thinks it's money well spent.
That’s comforting to hear! Critical support to the German government in their fight against the German military
It’s basically just the German word for Air Force, I’ve seen the US Air Force referred to as “US Luftwaffe” in German before. More notable is that when they reformed they just rehired a bunch of the same dudes from the Nazi version
And honestly change the name anyway
For sure. And importantly don’t use the fucking iron cross as your symbol
Well it is now the Bundeswehr Luftwaffe rather than the Wehrmacht Luftwaffe that existed from 1935-1945
Nah it's just called that and they use iron cross. Unfortunately real
oh my god stalin shouldn't have stopped at berlin
Finland Air Force used swastikas as symbols until 2017
And they’d aggressively defend the use of the swastika because the Swedish guy who founded their Air Force wasn’t a Nazi so therefore it’s fine
(He was an “aryan race supremacist” who was married to a German Nazi party member and he was friends with many of the top Nazi officials, especially the committed aryanists but since he was Swedish he never joined the German Nazi party, meaning the use of the swastika was totally cool and not Nazi)
