Your ancestors fought against the Nazis better than the French I suppose...?


Is it just me or you always get jumpy when it comes to the strong resistance that eventually led to the demise of the nazis? Its time you face the facts...


To the main discussion:

Now to collaborators and quesling governments. Indeed history repeats itself. The nazis were creating quesling local governments ( like the US does in Iraq ) and they would also hire a lot of locals as security forces ( like the US does in Iraq )...and indeed, where these governments substituted dictarorships then they were even called 'democratic'.....

Considering the famine and the lack of work that nazi occupation caused its no surprise that a lot of people collaborated with them. Most of them fled their countries or 'had accidents' soon after the Nazis left. One such person from the Ukraine was revealed in the US yesterday I think and faces deportation.

I am sympathetic to most human beings. However for collaborators I always make an exception, they dont even hold animal status to my eyes.
