Playing Vic3 lately (gamer cringe IK) and reading about the various European countries and political figures as I go along makes this so much more apparent too.
If there were any justice in the world the French and the British especially would be just as vilified for the shit they did mere decades before (and continued to do after).
And that’s putting aside what the Spanish Dutch and Belgians also did to the rest of the world.
Like fuccckkkkkkkk. And that’s barely a deep cut into history! Its surface level stuff. Hitler is like a lightning rod that protects European countries from overdue criticism.
I know this is the point of Landa’s book (the apprentice’s sorcerer) but it was someone else that I’ve forgotten that I read pointing this out. But in the early years of the Nazis, the shock and horror was they were doing these policies (genocide, racial caste systems, etc.) in Europe to fellow Europeans. Good civilized Liberal nations like France and Britain knew that that belongs in the colonies and not Europe.
