shareLooks good.

sharePlays like a ww2 propaganda reel. I suspect that the citizens not only of Dresden but also of many other cities across Europe, would vehemently protest their claims about fighting the monsters. More like "Masters of War Crimes".
shareThe millions starved and tortured by the Germans in those concentration camps needed a much more humane and prolonged liberation
shareI doubt that the soldiers cared much about that, especially considering how widespread antisemitism was before the war.
shareI wasn’t talking about soldiers in my sarcasm. Your quip was shallow and fatuous in light of German atrocities that ended only with the destruction of Nazi Germany
shareYou realize that they were not thinking like that, do you? You (and the show) are retroactively inserting motivations and considerations that were not a thing back then. Fighting the evildoers or whatever... They were just fighting a war and this is how they fought it. I mean, UK (and not only them) even had their own fascist party.
shareHow many Jews did Bulgaria send to Nazi death camps? Your country was Hitler’s enthusiastic instrument during the war. It’s the height of satire to read your drive-by accusations of U.S. war crimes during WWII. And America was absolutely fighting to liberate Western Europe from the Nazis. You’re the one now trying to re-write the fundamental reason for the U.S. entering the war in Europe.
shareBulgaria deported Jews only from the occupied territories, which sparked protests in the country that led to the saving of all Jews in Bulgaria proper. Not well known fact. Actually, Italy and Hungary also resisted deportation until they were occupied by the Nazis. Romania, on the other hand, not only collaborated, but single handedly executed hundreds of thousands - they impressed even the Fuhrer. Fun fact, in Poland pogroms continued even after the war.
shareAfter your blanket “masters of the war crimes” comment, you’re suddenly willing to be quite nuanced when it comes to Bulgaria’s role in WW II genocide. I doubt the Greek, Serbian and Macedonian Jews appreciate your distinctions. Where did Bulgaria deport those men women and children? It was the gas chambers of Treblinka and Auschwitz, not a resort island in the Caribbean.
shareI don't make such judgements on countries based on historical facts and I'm quite allergic toward people who do that, often without understanding the context of these facts. I simply got triggered by the teaser, portraying the events in simplistic heroic fashion, like some hobbits fighting the orcs. In reality, back then it was acceptable to massacre civilians in order to inflict moral damage on the enemy and they did so plenty. This is not how we imagine the hobbits to be.
shareThis is a fair and candid comment and I respect what you are saying here. I have read many of your past comments and see them as almost universally balanced. I was surprised at your OP here which seemed to the contrary. I was probably overly defensive of my country. But, I have seen the content of all the episodes, some of which honestly portray the suffering of German civilians in the allies’ bombing but also in the Nazi prison camps
shareFair. My comment was based only on the teaser.
