Scary racist site

I agree with Namp. We tried being tolerant to nazis in the 30's, and look where that got us.

And Caid, don't be so quick to say that they will eventually realize their mistakes. Hitler never did. Neither did any of his top nazi officials.

[Caid Ivik]

What about Speer, Galland, Hess, Rommel or Stauffenberg? Well, with Hess it is uncertain, maybe he was only spying, but he had opponents. Some before, some after turn in war. But of course, foreign intervention in 30's would solve any problem. Altough in 1920 was one attack against totality unsuccesful...

Rommel and Stauffenberg were never dedicated followers of the Nazi ideology. After Hitler put the Wehrmacht under oath their codex as officer dictated to follow him (All Wehrmacht officers took this codex very seriously - so one just have to admire Stauffenbergs act of "treachery", a rebellion against the highest commander was unthinkable for an officer). That doesn't mean "they didn't want to follow Hitler, but they had to". Perhaps they were admirers of the person Hitler.

And what about Himmler, Goering, Doenitz, Goebbles, and so many others? They never admitted how evil and twisted their ideas were. They were proud of all the murders they had commited!

It is foolish to assume that nazis will "eventually realize the error of their ways". Some will, but many won't.

I can't say that Donitz was with nazism more than Rommel. Submarine warfare wasn't for me something brutal, compared to SS operations. What thought Goebbels, Goring and Himmler, when they were putting hands of own lives, we don't know. But some conscience is in everyone. That's the only problem. Some find the error in the middle, some at the end...

Just wanted to point out that not all high-ranking "nazi" officers were nazis by ideology. Of course the Wehrmacht generals aren't innocent but i think you have to see the difference between them and people like Himmler, Goebbels, G

[Caid Ivik]

Yes, they were all nazis, otherwise they would be beheaded already before the war. But many of them lost the believe in national socialism. You see, first Donitz's act was capitulation. If Stauffenberg would be succesful, new german leader would do as well. In 1944 there were maybe three men believing in nazism.

Himmler was an artillery officier and Goring a fighter ace (17 shotdowns) in WW1. About Goebbels I don't know.

Rommel wasn't a nazi, he was doing he's duty like general Lee under the american civil war.

Rommel was fighting for his country not for the nazi ideal, and wasn't member of the party. You can debate weather or not if he should have delflected or not though.
