Well we did have a Cold War for 45 years with the Russians and won.
Now their heir apparent Putin, a mass murderer in his own right is our “most favored dictator” but that’s a matter for another thread.
We also fought Korea and Vietnam against the Chinese.
Barry Goldwater was frequently likened to Hitler by his enemies as were the Bushes. President Trump is routinely called a latter-day Hitler.
If these thoroughly decent men were like Hitler, then maybe Hitler wasn't such a bad guy.
Sobibor,
Yup ,true Story.
The article is a complete nothing-burger, without any new photo at all!
I recommend the book OPERATON PAPERCLIP.
“In the chaos following World War II, some of the greatest spoils of Germany’s resources were the Third Reich’s scientific minds. The U.S. government secretly decided that the value of these former Nazis’ knowledge outweighed their crimes and began a covert operation code-named Paperclip to allow them to work in the U.S. without the public’s full knowledge.”

“isolationist”
Its hard to imagine a less useful description of the America First worldview in the age of Trump.
“Side note: As I said before, I like a lot of Buchanan’s ideas. So it pains me to have to make this post.”
I appreciated Buchanan on Crossfire for years but his views on WWII were bizarre. All of these public figures and politicians have strengths and weaknesses. It is appropriate to hold them accountable and call them out as needed. No sacred cows or idols.
Post Buchanan doesn’t come from the age of Trump. PB is a true isolationist.
Pat B is simply wrong on these issues but I view him as a combative tough guy not afraid to be called names.
This is so 2001
Let’s beat up Pat Buchanan
Oh the glory days when virtue signaling was so obnoxiously prevalent here
“You’re an anti Semite!”
“You’re a racist!”
Blah blah blah
Buchanan has done more than any loudmouth on this forum and he was right about culture war decades before your average republican was
75 years later they can match the black and white picture of a 20 year old to that of a now deceased man?
I recently attended the 50th wedding anniversary of a close friend and the invitation included a color photo of their original wedding day. Never would have recognized him if his name wasn't on the invitation........
I've never once believed the charges against him. Conscripted into the Russian army, then taken prisoner by the Germans and then they make him a prison guard? That doesn't make any sense at all........
That is exactly right. Pat has many strengths as well as being Loco on WWII
Vichy Pat
I was given Pat’s book “Death of the West” as a gift back in 2001.
Read a chapter or two then life got in the way. Never finished reading it until this past year. I was curious how right he was.
Pat was spot on.
Article says the photos will be published in a new book presented in Berlin on January 28th. Reading is your friend.
Read the article.
The evidence was always shaky which is why the Israeli’s themselves acquitted him. I am very dubious about pictures surfacing now, when they spent decades scouring the earth for information from any and every WW2 concentration camp that might have something concerning his history. Suddenly new photos appear?
Why aren’t the photos being shown publicly if they exist? Likely it is a stretch of imagination and so better to talk about them then let people see how flimsy the claim is.
Buchanan doesn’t claim that the British “mismanaged” the war. He claims that Hitler was a peaceful man who was goaded into the war by Churchill. He basically calls Churchill a warmonger who foisted war on the innocent Hitler.
His over the top defense of the indefensible Hitler is why he is sidelined.
I do think however, there were mitigating circumstances that made him different than a German/Austrian Guard.
German guards volunteered for the duty.
Being a captured Red Army soldier, Demjanjuk had the choice of either working as a Camp Guard or being shot.
