Is Nazi actions aren't considered the worst in history, why is it that it's acceptable to go to a party dressed as an English soldier from the 1800s or a Roman footsoldier, but not as a member of the SS?
Well...give some more 50 years ;)
I doubt the relatives of the starved Indian or the slaughtered Mau Mau would be keen on your uniform either.
Nor did the gaul slaves love to be clothed like their murderers and enslavers.
But there are already alot of Waffen-SS reenactment groups quite active...
Do you not think the Nazis are bad?
The Nazis were bad, period!
But saying they had an monopoly on badness is just plain wrong, sorry. And especially coming from a Brit, excuse me...
To say, "Clean up your own imperial history" in response to my post is ultimately nonsense - the Nazis were Evil.
You didn't hear that often enough it seems. Get used to it.
And even if you don't want to hear it....there is no difference between the british soldier killing a Mau Mau child and german soldier killing a jewish child.
Sorry for you but every difference you try to make up to somehow make the actions of your own soldiers as not as look as bad are just artificial...both are "evil" as you say so nice.
The fact that I have terrible things in my history does not prohibit me from criticising another regime.
If you want to put them on a pedestal for apologizing for your own black spots of history as "not as bad"...of course!
See? Americans call you Dutch! So therefore, in English, you are Dutch!
Manno, it's the Amis....they couldn't differentiate between us if their life depends on it.
Do you really want to use THEM as proof??? ;):):)
We know better... ;)
