    No you did not follow the Morgentau Plan. Instead you gave Germany a bunch of money to rebuild under the Marshall Plan, and treated us quite kindly to lead us on the right path. (In contrast to the USSR which took revenge by letting their soldiers rape and loot, and disassembled German industries as repayment. The Soviets also tried to forcibly “denazify” Germany which was unsucsessful.)

    No, we strangled the ones in charge and then […]

    So we agree that there is a difference between Nazis of different caliber, and they’re to be treated differently.

        I’m not defending Nazis? I just disagree with the post, which I understood calls for people to dismiss nuance and engage a black and white view. Which smells like populism to me

      they’re to be treated differently.

      What you’re conflating is being prosecuted for your war crimes. Holy bad faith.
