How many of you are ex-Wehraboos?

I think there's a difference between just passively absorbing wehraboo bullshit because of simply not knowing any better (it doesn't help that wehraboo sources are all over Wikipedia and everywhere else), and turning it into some kind of belief system and defending it.

I am an ex-Where'saboo. I would insist that "Where's Wally?" was a superior puzzle book series to all its competition, and would even spend hundreds of dollars for top-of-the-line Wally garb. I even forced my dog to dress like Woof.

But to be completely honest, frank and 100% devoid of memery, I used to be a full-on neo-Nazi. Like, in the full extent of what that word implies. I was fascinated by the German military (and the rest of the Axis) as well of course, but I considered myself an actual proponent of the ideology behind it as well. Actually, the latter eclipsed the former by quite a lot back in the day. Although I had those beliefs, even I saw that the Nazi war effort was a failure riddled with many mistakes and inexcusable fuck ups. I merely admired them from the perspective of them being people who fought and died for "the cause", as it were.

I used to be a German armor boo, but that kind of faded. I wasn't a 'German armor stronk-er than Allied armor!', but I did enjoy them to the point that I didn't think the reliability issues were that bad. Then I started reading into armor from all throughout the war and after my studies and a few sessions of guiding prayers, I became an M7 Priest in the house of Patton.

I used to make these theories on how the germans could have invaded britain, how they could have beaten back the landings in normandy, how the could have defeated the soviets etc. Not from a "the nazis were cool" but more a "war is interesting" point of view. Still get twitches when i see a Tiger tank. But i've been clean for 4 years and there is no way om falling back into that hole.

You're never taking my Pz.1 from me though.

This is a trap, right?

Alright, you've got me; I still enjoy reading alt-history, much of which is focused on possible German victories (particularly my favorite author, Peter Tsouras).

I used to tell myself "At least it's kinda sorta based in fact! Alien intervention is kept to a minimum! I cut Turtledove out of my life, man! I'm past that.", but reading this sub makes me furrow my brow and think that there's no way Germany could've achieved anything close to a victory.

That being said, Disaster at Stalingrad is still tons of fun to read.

Back when I started playing more WWII games I was almost wehraboo, enough that I'd bought in to a quite bit of their bullshit but not enough that I donned the "Waffen-SS Das Reich" username and plastered all my profiles with Rommel quotes. After I became more well acquainted with Axis players I pretty much did a heel turn.

I used to think that Rommel was a pretty cool guy and that the Nazis could actually have won if Hitler listened to his generals.

I've always been way more into the Western Allied side of things.

I used to believe the whole "human waves, Soviets kill hundreds of thousands of their own men, yah dah" thing though. Fortunately not for too long.
