    Yeah,I really don’t care how many Nazis got worked to death after that they did, it’s a shame they let so many of them right back into the west german government afterwards.

      Wonder what the world would look like today if Germany had been thoroughly purged of Nazism, rather than a slap on the wrists.

        It would have been really funny if they had given like Austria or half of Germany to be “Israel” on top of actually removing the Nazis
