I was in the hospital and watched a bit of The Little Tramp (I think), and it had him go to prison, like it, get thrown back out with nowhere to work, and at some point inadvertently lead a socialist protest. He also released it two years before Pearl Harbor, and the studios didn't want to touch it with a ten foot pole, so he produced it himself.

From their website:quote:This video goes why the Holocaust is flawed and if you were going to genocide a group of people, how the Nazis would have actually done it. Didn't OJ write that book?

I bit the bullet and looked it up (in incognito of course, I don't even want to know what googling "holocaust debunked" would do to my algorithms) and the video itself was taken offline.

Soricidus posted:what. how. No idea what the reasoning is there, but if you expanded the genre to include POW camps, I bet in the Minecraft remake of The Great Escape, all that tunneling would go a bit more quickly. (Although I'm not sure what you'd need at the crafting table to forge German travel documents.)

(Although I'm not sure what you'd need at the crafting table to forge German travel documents.) 1 book, 1 feather, 1 ink sac, and 1 swastika emblem = 1 soldbuch. You'll still need to get your hands on enough wool to make a convincing feldblus if you want to pretend you're a soldier yourself. Edit: or instead of impersonating a soldier you could impersonate a tailor since all Nazi uniforms were individually tailored to the wearer. A side effect of wearing what was basically a dress uniform to the combat zone was there was never enough tailors. Of course that could get you effectively captured/imprisoned by a unit desperately in need of alterations and/or in trouble if you screwed up some officer's uniform.

Do you mean Nazi officers? I cannot believe that millions of soldiers got tailored uniforms, especially as the war progressed and got worse.

There’s an effortpost or two in the Milhist thread about just how impractical Nazi uniforms were. I don’t recall tailoring, but they had vestigial internal suspenders.

I'm pretty sure at least half of the R&D teams working on various superweapons were completely aware that their research was going nowhere, and just kept rigging enough promising-looking demos to keep their projects from being canceled, so they could stay in relative safety and hope for the war to end before they got reassigned to the east front or something.

Wasn't there also a big thing about various people in charge of making the designs were jockeying for political favour, so they'd throw their weight around by demanding specific widgets get added, because their rival also had something added and they can't be outdone? The biggest argument against "the efficiency of fascism" is the Nazi regime.

Yeah, the MAN Panther prototype had a waterproof engine compartment that no one asked for, for instance. The inefficiency went both ways. British analysis of the PzIV concluded that someone from the ball bearings industry was handing out kickbacks, since there is no way that the tank needed so many ball bearings.

I know the motivation for the fash is just vindictiveness and racism, but it does still make me laugh that anyone would get into Nazism as a political ideology today. Like it went so well last time, within twelve years Germany was a smoking crater that spent the next fifty years split in half.

Yeah, their politics were pretty stupid. Another thing was that they rejected anything they decided was "Jewish science" which meant some of the most important recent advancements. Basically if a Jew did research they decided it was automatically bad and they'd find their own German way around. That of course doesn't work if there's really only one way around the issue but nah, gotta focus on that superior German engineering. A lot of it also had to do with their deliberate rejection of meritocracy. Since they sorted the world into categories where inherently cool and good people were at the top those peoples' ideas could never be questioned even if they were blatantly, hideously wrong. Meanwhile if you were lower and somebody higher up told you that you were wrong then welp. That was why you ended up with Ratte being pushed. It didn't matter that the thing was completely insane idea a couple of really important people decided it was a good idea so the idea got worked on. Didn't matter that a 1,000 ton tank was one of the worst ideas possible for at least a dozen reasons.
