What are your sources to repeat Nazi propaganda as truth?

All of the sudden, it was the Red Army, the same Red Army who won Stalingrad
at great cost, the ones responsible for the German's failure to rise against
Hitler!!! It isn't the german people's fault that Hutler won in 1933, no, it
is the Red Army's failure!

Such lucid logic!

Tell me of one, a single one, example of a high-ranking Nazi who occupied a
high-ranking position in the Popular Democracies. I can give you dozens of
examples of high ranking Nazis in the post-war GFR.

Not to mention that the resistance movements in Eastern Europe were not
"quickly dissolved" as you argue, but indeed became those in power in all of
those countries. Even the GDR's last chief of state was a veteran resistance
fighter. So I don't know from were do you get your mistaken impression, not
from reality, I guess.

All in all Einde, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about,
and allow your own ideological prejudices (which you just recently claimed
not to have) to cloud your judgement.

Lo and behold, I forget that your current celebrated the counter-revolution
in the USSR as "The Death of Communism". Ideological clarity and adherence
to the truth have never been high in the list of priorities of your
tendency.
