One of my friends keeps going on about how Fury is one of the most historically accurate films of all time because it shows, and I quote, "that American soldiers were as bad as the Germans and were not good guys".

All. My. What.

The disturbing part is that he is still your friend, and not an ex-friend.

Ah, he isn't malevolent, just ignorant. He is doing business studies at university, so it is clear as to why.

You are not building a good case for your friend here! :D

I was at least able to make him realise that his belief that "the American Civil War had nothing to do with slavery" was wrong. There is hope for him yet.

Honestly I think a lot of people like that aren't racist or stupid, just ignorant. I remember talking to my Dad, a very well published astrophysicist, who believed a couple of badhistory tropes just because he had learnt them before and didn't know any better.

Yeah, he sounds like he has a case of second opinion bias.

Less jerky: that whole Greatest Generation worship can get in the way of taking about war crimes committed by the Allies.

Makes it difficult to show how systematic the crimes of the Waffen-SS and Heer really were, in Italy, Russia, or France.

Up yours, bot.

Reading tons of papers on German warfighting doctrine. It's rather scattered.

Any interest to get that posted here when done?

I really want to visit some of the concentration/extermination camps and I wanted to ask which ones you guys would recommend I go to.

[–]seaturtlesallthewayGood German 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

Theresienstadt, Bergen-Belsen.

The former to see how terrible the camp was that the Nazis showed the world. The other is the Urexample of the forced labor camp.

Auschwitz, if you have the stomach for an extermination camp.

Dachau is pretty far south west. If your coming from Frankfurt, you can stop at the BMW Museum later.

[–]seaturtlesallthewayGood German [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Doesn't the BMW museum mostly skip over the time between 33 and 45, for some really weird reason?

If you are that far South, might as well visit the Deutsches Museum.

They did a little bit on the motorcycles they built and some of their engines. No more, no less. They also had some of their aircraft/engines from WW1 on display. The museum really has the most of its content in the interwar part, and after WW2

So odd! It's like something sort of embarrassing happened!
