“And when Germany was falling we should have joined with anti Hitler forces in the Wehrmacht “

Ahhh the mythical anti-Hitler Wehrmacht. The only reason a few didn’t like him is because they thought he was below them socially and not as tactically brilliant.
Any I cannot imagine a sicker thing than asking an American GI to shift gears in early 45 and agree to fight alongside a nazi army and plunge into the eastern front.

Utterly sick. I suspect you were not a grunt in WWII.

To be fair, the guys who did Operation Valkyrie definitely were trying to restore the nation of Germany due to viewing Hitler as an antithesis to Germany’s survival, so it’s unlikely they would have viewed National Socialism in a good light. Also, the Wehrmacht technically owed its allegiance to Germany, not necessarily to its leader (that’s even what the guys who used Operation Valkyrie tried to use as their rationalization. Hitler ended up making a specific loyalty oath to him personally largely because of that).

Besides, it’s not like our siding with the USSR was much better, anyway, arguably being even MORE sick due to the USSR under Stalin committing even more mass atrocities than the Nazis did. And I must ask you, were YOU a grunt in WWII?
