There's a lot of whitewashing post Nazi Germany

Most countries including the US and UK were allies with Hitler before they changed course during WW2

Walt Disney and Hitler were friends.

Hugo boss was the Nazi's official uniform tailor

Hugo boss was the Nazi's official uniform tailor

So many of the biggest names in fashion were Nazis, not just Hugo Boss but also Dior, Balenciaga, Vuitton, etc. Coco Chanel even spied for the Nazis and was a vocal supporter even after WWII

Are you sure about Balenciaga. That's the first time I have heard of their involvement with hitler

People are not 100% sure, but they say that Balenciaga’s success in Nazi-occupied Paris had something to do with the designer’s close relationship with Hitler’s ally, General Franco

Walt Disney and Hitler were friends.

Hitler also had a full size portrait of Henry Ford in his office and is the only American he mentioned by name in Mein Kampf

Also, there is this. We had a literal town of American Nazis in the US.



The idea of fascism being bad was only recognized by the intelligent and insightful people who believe in human rights before the war. It wasnt view negatively completely and even admired by those who loved its anticommunist messaging. It wasn't until after WW2 and people becoming more exposed to it's brutality that attitudes changed among some people.

America's racism against us inspired Hitler lol

 

[RehReh]

Which is why we were and ARE called Black in England
And being Black British is real, especially as not every Black in this country is a product of Windrush Migration, I have met Black people that's families have been here centuries.

And we have had Race Riots almost every 90 years the biggest being in 1919

But some weirdos on here think Blacks are only in America, or Black people haven't struggled in England
Britain were fascist then and are fascist now

Even the Queen has a nazi salute picture

 

[Mister Terrific]

The U.S. and UK weren’t allies with Germany prior to world war 2. The English FA seeking to avert an international incident when war was seemingly just around the corner foolishly told the players to salute the Nazi flag for sportsmanship. The players were against it and there were marches and protests outside the stadium where and Nazi supporters were beaten up. Thousands of police were sent into stop the protests.

When England played Germany at White Hart Lane in 1935 | Germany | The Guardian

Four years before the start of the second world war, Germany were invited to play at a club with a large Jewish following

amp.theguardian.com

There were Nazi sympathizers in the USA and UK and France and everywhere because fascism appeals to people just like today. Stating the U.S. or Uk or French governments or majority of people were pro Nazi or allies is nonsense.

 

[50CentStan]

Was that a Nazi salute or just a form of salute back then before it got renamed the Nazi salute? Thats how cacs used to pledge of allegiance to the flag pre WW2

 

[Black Hans]

America's racism against us inspired Hitler lol

Right. Jim Crow(Right Wing and Left Wing) and the Eugenics Movement (Left wing) in America = Nazi Germany

 

[Ukbrotha]

Doesn't Mercedes have some Nazi history too?
