Right! There is a truly ignorant statement about the German People, to stupidly state that they ALL wholeheartedly supported their regimes is just plain asinine. That is the same as saying that because Bams was elected all Americans support his regime. Maybe you should forget the brainwashing and speak to the people who had to live through the times. No one, I repeat no one deserves to suffer at the the expense of the few but unfortunately we are only human. God help us!

Oh, there may have been a few and a damn few who objected.

Your nobama analogy would be OK if NO ONE objected, even if not voted for him. Not speaking up and hanging around is tacit approval! Understand the danger of speaking up, but it was not impossible to leave either Germany or Japan.

Like the European Jews, oh wait, you can't.

Thank God YOU weren’t in any decision-making capacity back then.

Yeah....some of those Germans may not have supported Hitler.

Maybe they worked in the German defense industry, though. Legitimate target....along with trhey’re families and homes.

Lord Charwell, Churchill’s close advisor, called it “de-housing the Nazi workforce.”

Grow up, in the industrial age, civilians are legitimate targets.

i manage a seniors property, we have 6 residents that were born in Germany pre-WW2. They have been very candid about life during the war. Most of what they remember is the hunger. They werent as afraid of the bombs as much as they were of not having food the next day. One resident summed it up for me who was forced into the Hitlerjugend, “you did what you had to do just to eat, you joined the military so your parents and sisters could eat.”
