    One thing I think about a lot is the idea that if stuff like phones, selfies and social media existed back during WW2, we’d see literally all the exact same excuses people give for Israel today to the Nazis. We’d have this same shit, with people taking selfies outside of the death camps (like Israeli soldiers do in Palestine, or these POS above). It would be identical to the social media of today.

      We have a bunch of photos of Axis troops committing war crimes they took of themselves. Ranging from burying people in mass graves, posing with dead bodies, beheading contests, standing in front of prison camps, and literally killing infants.

      You’d think people would figure out this never makes them look good, but the US did similar shit in Vietnam and Isreal is doing it today. You’re 100% right the Axis would have posted themselves all over social media with comments from Americans/British/etc. cheering them on, saying how those people deserved it.
