I agree, but I've never seen this particular person call the Reich sweet boys who were just doing their best.

I mean, it's all anon so this is unproveable, but aquatics is very recognizable on meme as the one with the Reich fetish and is constantly cooing over "sweet" Nazi officers, so I don't think it's a stretch to say this is her.

You never know, it could be the *other* nonny who thinks WW2 movies are too hard on the German side, Rommel was a sweetie, and jackboots are hot.

"...But I love-to-bits stories about how those cute boys were just trying their best for Hitler!"

The distinction between "enrolled members of the Nazi Party" and "people fighting for Nazi dominance over Europe and extermination of its minority peoples" is immaterial to just about everyone who isn't a working historian.

As they are constantly reminding us on FFA, that actually makes a HUGE difference! Actually the only enrolled Party member is the Jewish character, who's drawn like a caricature from Der Stürmer!

Are you by chance American? Because this brand of "I have no clue about (European) history but I have strong opinions about it anyway" is very telling.

In case you're not being deliberately offensive, yes, there was a hell of a difference between being a party member, people buying into the Nazi ideology, and people fighting in the war, and it's a difference most people with at least passing knowledge of German history would be aware of. Obvious, there was quite a lot of overlap and some people belong to all three groups, but equalising them is incredibly simplistic.

(Caveat: I don't know how and if this relates to Desert Peach. From what I understood, this is about soldiers at the war front, so I don't know how party membership figures in.)

Again, fictional brother of Rommel, please come back after the instinct of skimming a single comment, making a snap judgement, then jumping in diminishes.

AIRT's statement didn't refer specifically to this canon or this specific character. And from all the other comments, it's pretty obvious that some people genuinely think everyone who was a member of the Nazi party supported the Nazis.

Er... everyone who was a member of the Nazi Party was a Nazi, by even the most restrictive standard. That is the literal definition of a Nazi. It doesn't mean they cared about the ideology at all, but if they paid membership dues to the party they were quite literally "supporting the Nazis".

This. Some people in this thread are incredibly dumb.

You mean people can just go on the internet and lie?!
