I've tried several times now to come up with a fitting comment and there really can be only one:

Lest we forget.

Kinda makes me remember on the Osttürkische Waffenbande of the SS.
Brave Turks all over from the Soviet Union had chosen to throw in their lot with the German forces...Well, it was no safe bet, and that was known to them, however what else could they do? After the war had ended, Stalin was on their asses, exiled the lot of them. Kinda pissed off at both the Soviets and the third Reich, but well, they're both dead now, so why worry?
I've fixed my eyes on the future now.

Like I said, I wasn't sure if that was the sort of thing you were getting at. I only posted them, in response to your "why worry?", as an illustration that the dream for these people is not dead. Just as with the flat-Earthers and Geocentrists, we can see how out-of-step they are with reality and have a laugh at their delusions if that is what we wish. However, the Neo-Nazi movement and others of that ilk, rather like the creationist lobby, are seeking political power and could conceivably be in danger of achieving it if society ignores them. Remember, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

jesus christ.



...I liked him a lot better when he lurked around and kept his fucking mouth shut

I've often wondered what my grandfather saw during his service in WWII. I know he landed at Normandy after the beachhead was established and was wounded at the Bulge (and subsequently sent stateside).

After seeing photos like these, I can certainly understand why he never spoke of it.

Well, I really can't stop them.
They're being hell for my countrymen over in Germany for sure, but it's democracy you know.
Even Hitler came to power through democracy.
These neo-nazis are simply nothing more than trash though, nothing like the old ones, lacking the "just as planned" routine, finesse and the great uniforms and accents or whatever.
Obviously, only the police needs to do something, and that's before or after these guys get violent and break the law.
Other than that....I know a couple of "neo-nazis" myself, at least I did so.
When I was in Germany at least, their grandfathers were all either Wehrmacht, SS or had some sort of a connection to the German Army or the Schutzstaffel regiments...
Obviously, disowning the nazis would mean for those kids to disown their grandfather, so they don't. I understand them.

Of course, you're right. Modern day Nazi's are quite lacking on fashion. That must be all that's wrong with them.
