I suppose that, the old-timers have this mindset that everyone already knows that the Nazis were pretty terrible, the Soviet war crimes are lesser known and so, it's important to focus on them, but it's surprising how quickly people forget once you stop bashing it into their skulls. That's how they get away with it, maybe that's how they even believe some of it themselves.Įven in college (I got my second college degree in the US), in my Modern Euro History class, the prof spent about the same amount of time on the Soviet rapes of German women as the rest of the Eastern Front combined! But all this bullshit relic spews reinforces the same bullshit I was taught in high school history class. I'm sure it's bound to happen eventually now that the Cold War is over. I hope public schools are improving their curriculum. I don't know if it's a propaganda legacy of the Cold War or what, but it's sad. It wasn't until college history classes that I even learned that the Russians caused more German casualties than Americans and ostensibly contributed the most to the war effort. We didn't even cover the really interesting and historically accurate stuff like the T-34 tank. Not a balanced picture of the war, just the very worst edge cases. Scorched earth, not one step backward, the image of a duo of soldiers, one with a Mosin Nagant Rifle and the other with ammunition, the rape of berlin, the winter, etc. /r/GamePhysics - Clips of game physics shining and glitchingĭesign based on /r/FlatBlue created by /u/creeschĪs an American, I can tell you it's amazingly easy for Relic to get away with this stuff, because of how much these myths are propogated in our history classes.
