Yall need to learn some history.

The liberal SDP split with the communists, supporting "centrist" Hindenburg in the name of unity.

The communists campaigned on "A vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler is a vote for war"

Hindenburg won the election, getting more votes than either the communist or fascist candidates.

Hindenburg, the liberal candidate, then proceeded to make Hitler the chancellor and staff positions of power with nazis while purging the government of communists.

The nazis then barely had to do anything to assert complete control.

The nazis didn't get in power because communists stayed home, they got into power because the liberals would rather work with fascists than communists.

and lets not forget what stopped hitler wasnt electoralism. it was the soviets, and they needed force at that point.

And the Ukrainians, and the Poles, and the French resistance, and the British, and the Americans, and the Canadians, and...

the soviets were the ones to bear the weight of all the casualties. while your heroes were sipping tea waiting for them to be destroyed by the nazis...

the british, really? americans? yall need to open a history book. ever heard of operation paperclip? or how anticommunist most of these were?

Exactly, the country that shared a massive land border with the NAZIs and was a direct target of their aggression suffered many more casualties than the ones what didn't, who'da thunk it? Without the combined efforts of essentially the entire rest of the world, the USSR would have been toast.

yall need some history. the USSR and germany did not share borders until much later, the west was nowhere to be found by the time they reached berlin.

the us mostly really only helped by the end when victory over nazis was already on the horizon.

They didn't share a border until the Soviets and NAZIs jointly invaded their neighbor Poland.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

no such thing as "jointly invaded"

Nah they're an .ml user... It's all about soviets. USSR is literal utopia to them and didn't do anything wrong.

Forget that the Nazi efforts were always more focused on the western fronts...
