81st Anniversary of the Liberation of the Auschwitz Concentration and Extermination Camp

On this day, 27th January, 81 years ago, soldiers of Red Army liberated the death camp in Auschwitz.

Let's all remember this day: the day when wild Mongoloid uncouth Russian hordes of hedgehog-eating orcs chased away the culturally refined, orderly, and inherently European, Goethe-und-Schiller-reading Germans. And while we think about this day, let's pray to God so that He takes away from us at least a little bit of our usual mental retardation. Amen.

It was the same day that the Red Army started raping survivors of Auschwitz.

@Lazarus
They are currently liberating Donbas.

The story needs to be re-told.

Yeah it does....just actually its become a farce....used/abused by modern politics....

Remembrance has always been selective. Postwar politics decided which stories were elevated, who could speak, be memorialized, or compensated - and for most victims, that came decades later, or never. Simplified narratives were ritualized and moralized, often alienating those whose stories weren't reflected. Modern politics didn't invent this; it inherited it and too often leaned on it for power and authority - expecting younger generations to carry the burden of every trauma and grievance of the select few who dominated the narrative, as if that were remotely their responsibility.

Amen!

In what way?

The leisure stay of a group of Jewish and Polish spa patients at a German sanatorium brutally interrupted by Asian hordes?

How would you like to re-tell the story, Lyzko?

To what pray would you be referring?
Speak plainly, sir!

This is something I never thought I would hear from you! xD

Well think again!

I'm sorry... but this comment is simply enraging! What a stupid, stupid thing to write for an educated adult.

This is the same as bringing up the German casualties of Allied bombing, on May 9th.

Like responding to a 9/11 memorial, by posting Abu Ghraib photos.

Maybe like posting photos of dead Chinese civilians in Nanjing, on the day the Japanese remember Hiroshima.

Stupid!

You did not write:

"Some Red Army soldiers committed crimes after liberation."

... but instead wrote:

"It was the same day that the Red Army started raping survivors of Auschwitz."

To me, this suggests that you - Lazarus - see some moral symmetry between liberation and extermination, yes?

As our friend ChatGPT would say: "That is not history. It is moral laundering of Auschwitz itself."

If Auschwitz becomes another Warhammer 40K place where "there were no good guys, but only different shades of evil" then everything becomes meaningless. Do you understand?

Off topic, but post '45, US occupiers DID rape Russian women..with impunity as it was hushed up by the army.

WTF are you writing now...

I think Lyzko is this secret weapon of Trump.

Discombobulator.

I'm writing the truth, so quit gaslighting.

America never occupied one inch of Russian land - in all its glorious 250 year history.

So where did American soldiers rape Russian women in occupation?

Bobko, I was referring to Russian-occipied Berlin!!

Ok great, because what you wrote is that American troops raped Russian women in occupation.

It's hard to guess at what you are thinking, when you make two-three mistakes in as many sentences.

I'm not a mind reader.

What about the American Expeditionary Force Siberia? And the American Expeditionary Force North Russia?

So US soldiers raped Russian or German women in Russian-occupied Berlin?

I'm very confused--but, then again, I'm not all that swift.

Clarity on this point is important to me personally, because when I was once at the Berlin Zoo train station, I saw a guy who looked very much like my dad. My grandpa was in Germany during the war...so now I'm wondering....

.....oh please guys? Not on THIS day.....tomorrow again....

The American force in Murmansk and Archangel (Northwestern Russia), the so called "Polar Bear Expedition", consisted of a few thousand men that were there to guard ammunition supplies to the White Russians.

The American force in Vladivostok was there to guard the Czechoslovak legion, and protect the railhead that supplied them.

If you think that less than 10,000 Americans constitutes an occupying force, in a war where the Red Russians and the White Russians both deployed millions of men - then you are not very smart.

You got it, BB. Take care.

*waves*

I was texting too quickly, Bobko.

All good.

Just got triggered after Lazarus' idiotic post about Auschwitz, and thought you were trying to engage in more "whataboutism".

In our part of the world we are very familiar with this business. Usually it begins instead of Auschwitz with the rape of Berlin's women. The intent is always the same - equate Red Army soldiers with the Nazis.

For the education of people like Lazarus...

Nazi Germany:

1) Initiated a war of conquest

2) Designed a racial extermination project encompassing many different ethnicities

3) Built institutions whose express purpose was the industrial removal of millions of human beings

4) Trained personnel to murder civilians as policy

Soviet Russia:

1) Fought a defensive war of survival

2) Suffered ~27 million dead

3) Did NOT build rape, massacre, or extermination into state ideology.

4) Did not conceive the war as a civilizational cleansing project

Do you understand?

Russian crimes, were:

1) Criminal - not doctrinal

2) Punished inconsistently (Zhukov wrote extensively about this), not rewarded. Hundreds and thousands of Soviet soldiers were executed for their crimes.

3) Denied officially, not celebrated.

4) Completely irrelevant to accomplishing the war's aims.

Contrast this to the Germans, who planned, budgeted, staffed, optimized - all these human-hating policies.

Point taken, Beebs.

***Who says pagans don't have moral clarity? BB is exhibit a they do**

Hitler himself exhorted his countrymen, " We are barbarians, we are proud of being barbarians!"

Again, WTF are you writing?

I don't understand anything you write, and it is incredibly frustrating!

What was the point of the above message? Explain.

Virtue signallying, he's taking a bold anti-Hitler stance.....
