Use of the term Nazi.

[maz]

i'm not Jewish, but i don't think you need to BE Jewish to feel uncomfortable with the term. my ancestory is German, and as much as none of my family were involved (as far as i know - my great grandparents fled Europe for Australia at the time) it is still something that i don't like.

OH yep ... maz hears you

Do you realise how many Germans HATE the term....they lived through the rule of the Austrian who destroyed millions of lives and families and branded them from that war onwards as the worlds biggest ******** race!!!!!!!
Yes Im German....my parents immigrated here in 1969. My dad was beaten for not saluting to a soilder....he was 3 , My mum's grandparents and a few aunties were taken to concentration camps and never seen again my opa returned from war with only one leg and my great opa had everything, including the family title, castle, everything taken and burnt by the Nazi's......lots of those 'Nazi's' had to do what they did in the war...im talking about the guys lower down the scale..if they didnt they were tortured, beaten and killed infront of their families iand that was after they raped and sometimes killed the woman and children infront of them....yep so the world Nazi leaves a horendous taste in even German peoples mouths.

they have made me extremely emotional each time - and to be honest, it wasn't a conscious choice for me (DH is very interested in learning about it all from a more factual perspective). i think so many people could learn a lot about WHY this is so emotional for so many if they were to see even one episode of this series.

were NOT fascists - they were socialists.

A very corrupt form of socialism.

A corrupt form of whatever they were really- no box to put them in!

Perhaps even 'breastfeeding dictator' would describe what people are trying to say actually. I prefer 'lactivist' myself
