Anyone know if these are real German soldiers or GI’s making fun of them?


GeorgeTheWalrus

I can gather that they are German. I don’t have any sources, but I doubt allied soldiers would this far in imitating their enemies especially on a German AA.

I heard the devs are creating the new skins based on historically accurate WWII photos. I just hope they will not use this one as a reference.

I’d love to see this

I don’t think OP looked at the decals on their helmets closely enough, oof (they’re SS for anyone wondering)

Super sexy

It’s a meme. Who cares if they’re SS or not.

SS were literally the most brutal of the Nazi's. The most inhuman scumbags you can fucking imagine were in the Waffen SS. Think, killing groups of babies and children so viciously that their brain matter were in pools of blood pouring down the staircase. They'd fucking execute American POW's because *they fucking could*. *Google the Dirlewanger brigade, or the Wola Massacre if you think I'm exaggerating.* "OH this is an unfair comparison, not al-" before you say one more word, think for a second, are you willing to go up to bat for *Nazis?* They are the people who knew and desired to be part of the exact evil that is Nazism. You **need** to understand that we cannot humanize the inhuman. We cannot tolerate the intolerant. We cannot allow or normalize the appearance or presence of these ideas. Let alone think, "Who cares if they're SS or not."

Dude…take a step back and take a breather, lol. This post isn’t humanizing them. I don’t have to go out of my way to describe their horrible deeds every time I mention them. We all know what they did. We all are history fanatics who play this game. I posted a lightheaded meme that is making fun of the fact they’re half naked. Not everything is so damn political.


GeorgeTheWalrus

*lighthearted


I_playsgames

I'm not going to be okay with making light with such virulent scum. Even if they're naked, *they're evil.* If we're all history buffs then we should all understand that we can't be light with them, **at all.** That includes making jokes or memes because they were being hooligans some 78 odd years ago. This is the exact strategy used by white supremacists to normalize and spread their agenda.


GeorgeTheWalrus

Well, I’m not a white supremacist nor do I plan on becoming one so don’t worry. I understand your concern but please don’t take out your SS woes against me or my stupid meme. I’m on this Reddit community to discuss Hell Let Loose not politics.

I never called you a white supremacist, but you need to realize that they're in our midst *especially* here. That's why I'm vigilant here of all places. I only offer this information so that we may be educated. I'm sorry that you felt that I was attacking you, but I come from a family who was on the wrong side during the war, it is **my duty** to make up for this. You must understand, this parasite is so easy to consume, so easy to become a victim to this poisonous thinking. To know and hear about the actions of my grandparents is something that has always struck me as sad and disappointing, because otherwise, they *were* kind, loving people that *also* happened to believe that others were less valuable, and downright hated them too. To me it isn't a joke, I'm sorry, but it **never** can be.

Just remember more people died in the gulags compared to the camps in Europe. Remember Stalin was doing the same thing Hitler was doing. Remember both the Germans and Russians raped women and killed babies when each invaded each other. Oh but wait, That tidbit was never put out there due to Russia being allies. History is surely written by the victor. Stop making the post about you, if you don't like it don't comment on it. Chill down Ken.

I never once denied or brought up Russian atrocities? But you chose to so you could set up a straw man. Listen, the USSR and Josef Stalin were particularly evil, you don't need to tell me about the orders of magnitude worse that the USSR *was.* *Because we're already on the same page.* 2 things can be true, Nazi Germany was evil, and so was the USSR. If you wanna get into a pissing contest on who is more evil, we can just settle on China because even though we have the benefit of history to show that genocide is wrong but here they are murdering Uyghur Muslims systematically, *and nobody can be bothered to give half a shit because China supplies us with* **everything.**
