You should watch Kanal, and the rest of Andrzej Wajda's War Trilogy if you're interested in that period of time in Poland. Ashes and Diamonds is one of my all-time favourite films.
Yeah that's a great Wikipedia article.

Why do you think people like me autistically defend Pattons insistence that the only correct course of action on VE Day was to KEEP PUSHING EAST?
Based Patton
You don't have to be good to be a veteran, I just assumed they were pretty experienced.
In his defense everyone there was more or less his enemy. Sure the Poles would've appreciated the help but when the Nazis were crushed they would've likely turned those guns against him, and for good reason cause fuck communism.

He killed millions of people to serve his ego and surrendered half of Europe to the soviets. He also presided over the collapse of the British Empire.
"Unthinkable" was just the obligatory contingency plan. It has to exist because policy. Patton went to the extent of refusing to disarm surrendering Heer formations with the expectation they would be turning them right around and pointing them at the Soviets. He was not involved in planning for Unthinkable.

Which was a good thing, unless you're a bootlicking cuck.

Makes me wonder why we didn't nuke them into surrendering in 1945 though, dodge the cold war.

because of the political issues involved, glassing moscow was a legitimate strategy

Germany made multiple offers to end the war, all of which Churchill refused
>Everybody thought a war against the Soviets was fucking retarded.
Because the Allies had destroyed the best counter to Soviet power - Germany's industrial base and army (not to mention its decimation of Germany's civilian population through "strategic" bombing that was definitely a war crime)
>Which was a good thing, unless you're a bootlicking cuck.

Maybe they should avoid firebombing areas populated exclusively by non-combatants if they're going to do nothing but whine about war crimes after the war ends.

It's the same retarded lolbertarian argument that totally ignores the impact of capital on government. Yes, monopolies are faciliated by the government. This doesn't mean that monopolies are caused by the government, or that monopolies wouldn't arise without government intervention.
Power consolidates - it's far better to have a government, which traditionally was charged with preserving the social cohesion and culture of a nation, powerful enough to control capital and not the other way around.
It's a funny coincidence that all of these anti-government intervention arguments in white nations tend to originate from Jewish "economists" who support a Jewish ethnostate that totally ignores libertarian principles.
My god, you can't make this shit up. Can't understand basic economics? Must be Jews trying to trick me! Just remember when shit goes down, most people who think reds aren't people don't think fascists are either.
My favorite part about the "basic economics" meme is that society functioned in total defiance of libertarian principles for most of human civilization and yet you faggots are convinced that it is the only legitimate system.

Its not excusable what the axis powers did, but its also not out of place of what literally every world power was doing at that time. Morality was not the name of the game back then, winning was. And the victor writes history. Had Germany won we'd all be hearing the arguments reversed. THE SOVIET HOLOCAUST! REMEMBER THE 13 BILLION! BUT IT WAS PERFECTLY OK FOR US TO PUT POLITICAL DISSIDENTS AND ETHNIC MINORITIES INTO PRISON AND HORRENDOUS LABOR CAMPS BECAUSE THEY WERE A RISK TO NATIONAL SECURITY! (Japanese ethnic americans were a risk to national security? Give me a fucking break)
Ww2 is taught in school as good vs bad. The free word vs evil fascism. But war is not moral. There are no good guys, there only bad guys. Horrible governments fighting horrible governments. The only good guys were the poor men on the ground.
This us unironic
>in total defiance of libertarian principles
Completely false. The Roman Empire and almost every civilization before it were all relatively small governments compared to what we have today, with much less regulation and lower taxes. Most western governments remained relatively small until the late 19th century.

The Bengali Famine happened because the Japanese fucking invaded, autist. The Kriegsmarine was also operating in the Indian Ocean and something like 800,000GRT of shipping was sunk there. In addition, ships used to send food to India weren't being used to move supplies to other parts of the world like Greece (also undergoing a famine) or France.
>>soviets genociding literally more civilians than the germans could ever dream of, literal death work camps for political prisoners in siberia, called gulags. Purposeful starvation of entire regions to maintain control. Esentially a fascist regime
Except over the course of ~30 years, around 2-3 million died in the gulags. 3. Fucking. Decades. More people died under Hitler's regime in 4 years than in the gulads over a decade.
>>america nukes two civilian centers
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not just "civilian centers". The former had around 400,000 soldiers stationed in or around the city, was a massive communications center, shipping hub, and had numerous factories dedicated to the war effort. Nagasaki was a vital port city and produced other vital war materiel. Both cities were also defended with AAA.
>>britain and america repeatedly firebomb civilian centers
Bombing accuracy back in the 1940s was pathetic, with CEPs often ranging in miles. The US went with daylight strikes since it allowed them to get somewhat better accuracy, the bongs went with nighttime area raids because they knew it was difficult to do 'precise' bomb hits. Was it brutal? Fuck yea it was.
>inb4Dresden
Dresden was a major link in the German railway network in addition to having over 100 factories dedicated to the war effort.
War is the biggest war crime

You remember all your "dying for kikes/niggers/anglo" memes, Jow Forums? Well this is it, but for real. No matter how much assblasted polaks cry over >muh bravery muh nation, the Waraw Uprising is one of the perfect actual examples of non-Englishmen dying in droves for English political interests and literally nothing else. Churchill knew that Uprising is about ultra-doomed when he pushed for it. He didn't care.
>>soviets genociding literally more civilians than the germans could ever dream of, literal death work camps for political prisoners in siberia, called gulags. Purposeful starvation of entire regions to maintain control. Esentially a fascist regime
There are so many wrong things with this sentence.
First, genocide is the purposed extermination policy, which soviets have never promoted.
Second, labor camps weren't called Gulags. GULag is the office that is doing management of the camps.
Third, they weren't death camps, the main purpose was penal labor. Which was paid for and rewarded for, by the way. For example, Trofim Morozov, father of Pavlik Morozov (one of soviet propaganda heroes), was accused of illegal activities on the post the chairman of village council in 1931 and sentenced to 10 years of labor. He was working on the site of White Sea Canal and recieved amnesty three years after and the the order for hard labor.
Fourth, the mortality. Alexander Yakovlev has published the data, based on the internal reports of Department of Record and Distribution of Prisoners. It turned out that 1606748 has died since 1930 to 1956, including convicts of usual prisons from 1930 to 1938. The highest mortality rate has happened in WWII, when the food rations were cut for the sake of military and civilian consumers. That kinda doesn't add up with "killed more than germans" statement
Fith. Purposeful starvation is a popular myth. In fact, the famine of 1930s wasn't only soviet trouble. It has damaged Poland and several other neighboring countries. The reason was the backward agriculture, lasting since the days of Russian Empire. Most of the independent households couldn't afford the tractors and fertilisers.

You filthy fucking commies deserve to be despised as much as the fucking nazis. Get the fuck out of here with your misinformation bullshit. You’re either have a severe mental deficit or are an actual commie faggot for believing that retarded line you just typed out. 3 seconds in fucking google and you can see what atrocities that Bolshevik shithole committed by mass deportations of ethnicities, forced labor in Siberia and other shit they pulled off. I hope this was some excellent bait, but if not it’s a testament to just how retarded you and our kin are denying soviet genocides.
the jews did it!
>American education
you people really are quite stupid
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Alright.
>mass deportations of ethnicities
>implying that it was done because of sheer hatered like nazis did
BTW the deported nationalities weren't stripped of their rights, as it happened with political criminals.
>forced labor in Siberia
Oh, yeah, because it's wrong to make murderers and captured guerillas work for the better future.
If, let's say, Syrian govt would be forcing captured anti-Assad and ISIS members to work on rebuilding the destroyed cities, I bet you'll be satisfied.
>other shit they pulled off.
More like "Other shit misunderstood and misinterpreted by late 20th century researchers".

>work for the better future.
If you define "better future" as working for a corrupt bureaucracy that made horrible decisions for the sake of "progress" based on an ideology full of hoes which ended up fucking their people harder in the long run because said system was unsustainable then yes. It was a much better future.
On topic I recommend the movies in pic related.
They revolve around the Warsaw Uprising
Another good history piece is the Algerian War.
Look into Battle of Algiers.
Dirlewanger was a decorated veteran who had risen from enlisted to company commander in WW1, led his command back to Germany under arms after the armistice and fought in the German Civil War. He was an utter psychopath, sure, but he was also a battle hardened soldier.
The rest of his unit was for the most part probably nothing like him, though.
