Greetings,
I found some informations about SS soldiers , I'd like to discuss about them. I read a lot about ss freeing cities and people from jews and soviets, so I believe there are many lies about them (let's already out apart holocaust staff, I know that's bullshit, I'd like to discuss about the rest)
1)
"The Einsatzgruppen were predominantly employed in the Soviet Union, Poland and Hungary, where they played a vital role in the Holocaust process. Their main task, in the testimony given during the Nuremberg trials by Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski, was «the annihilation of Jews, Gypsies and political opponents», achieved through mass shootings and the use of trucks converted into gas chambers (the Gaswagen) and then into camps specialized in extermination.
In addition to their criminal brutality, the members of these formations actually stood out for their extreme cowardice: they never faced fighting units of the Red Army or the strong Soviet partisan resistance but limited themselves to the massacre of defenseless civilians, mostly women, children and the elderly, the bulk of the young men being engaged in the ranks of the Soviet army or joining the partisan formations.
To achieve their horrible goals they made use of the active and zealous collaboration of auxiliary units, mainly Ukrainian and Baltic"
Is it possible that there were mass shootings of Jews and communists who had mistreated Polish Russian and Ukrainian people?
2) "Historian Hans Buchheim wrote that the mentality and ideal values of SS men must have been "hard", without emotions such as love or kindness, with hatred of "inferiors" and contempt for those who did not belong in the SS, reckless obedience, "camaraderie" with fellow SS men, and an intense militarism that saw the SS as an "elite order" fighting for a better Germany."
3)
"For the members of the SS their mentality was such that for them nothing was impossible, however arduous or cruel, including "the murder of millions". Among the SS men who attempted to live by this principle of violence there was an unusually high suicide rate. The values of the SS "soldiers" were specific to the post-World War I German concept of the "political soldier", indoctrinated to be a "fighter" who would dedicate his life to fighting for the nation.
One SS officer, Karl Kretschmer, "considered himself a representative of a cultured people fighting a primitive and barbaric enemy" and wrote to his family of the need to desensitize themselves to mass killings. Burleigh and Wippermann write: "Members of the SS administered, tortured and murdered people with cold, iron precision and without moral scruples."
today even the survivors regret it. Did the former SS men who face trials today undergo denazification and make them believe that the SS were evil?
thanks
