    Another thing to note is people keep saying that if ideology didn’t gimp the war effort, the Nazis would’ve won. However, the ideology was the whole reason the war even happened in the first place.

      Exactly. It’s Fascism 101 - you invade anyone smaller than you to get slaves/money/etc, you pick scapegoats to blame for any issues you have, and you steal everything not nailed down, and then you move on to the next place. Eventually you pick a fight you can’t win, and then you lose.

      Part of them losing that fight was two of my grandparents, and I’m kinda pissed we’re dealing with them again. So I want to reinforce: If a country goes fascist, this shit is coming. Nazi Germany was never going to win anything with an ideology that flawed.
