      Most people who do that only do it cause they're surrounded by the other idiots who do the same crap and once their friends and people aren't around, they have nothing to say cause most of the time they say the same stuff about you everytime it happens
      I've experienced situations like that and it's best not to do the thing where people say "man up and do something about it", cause they don't have a good idea on the severity of the problem
      But yeah it's best to say something back once those pricks aren't around with their other idiots, they only care about popularity and such, once everyone has gotten enough of it, they stop cause it's the only thing that motivates them

German sailors who were interviewed many years later simply couldn't believe that the British had any interest in saving their lives after having spent hours shooting across the waves at each other and sinking HMS Hood resulting in the death of 1,500 British sailors...

      Indoctrinated how? They always say the Hitler youth radicalized people but they never show any documents as examples. Just like they never translate his speeches, they never let anyone read his book, and they’ve never produced a single document detailing orders for mass executions of PoWs. We’re just told to trust the people who lie about literally everything else.
      If you’re in the US or UK your school textboooks were likely published by the Maxwell publishing company which was founded by Ghislaine Maxwell’s father. Imagine that. Your version of history was written by the defacto father in law of Jeffrey Epstein, Robert Maxwell. A man suspected by both US and UK intelligence of being a triple agent for Israeli intelligence and who personally funded violent communist uprisings in the East. The fact that the US/UK weren’t allowed to say no to having their youth taught with this man’s history books tells you everything about who really won the war and who lost. Take a look at your country, you blind cowards. Does it feel like you won??

As you mentioned at the beginning, not every german soldier was a devoted nazi or even agreed with hitler, and those who did didn't often know what went on behind closed doors. They were all brainwashed, they were all weaponized, and many of them could not cope with learning the truth about what they had been behind, and where so many of their captured prisoners ended up. Even soldiers were victims of the war.

He was at that cup final and remembers it well. He told me about how Bert had a hard time at first, but the fact he knuckled down and got on with the job (and did it well) won everyone over in the end. He always spoke of our club in glowing terms, citing the club, the players and the fans as the reason he felt so at home here.

    He had a few television spots during his lifetime of the "redeemed sport hero now a good bloke" sort, so he and his past were known of; but when after his death the skifield wanted to officially name his favourite run after him and all Hell broke loose- several columnists even suggested writing him out of the club history, when he was one of the foundational blokes of NZ's winter scene, and generally well liked to boot.
