The German soldiers were those people who were engaged in the war not because they were active participants in the political goals of the Nazis, but out of a sense of national duty and pride.
Nazis and German Soldiers are two different things. Nazis belonged to a party that was ran by Hitler. Most of the German Soldiers were conscripted (drafted). Some did not have a choice. Nazis enlisted, for the most part. There is indeed a difference between loyally serving your country, and being forced to serve under a man like Hitler. Please be aware of that next time in the future.
I was unaware that the guest I had responded to had posed a joke. Please, enlighten me as to the joke he/she told, so that I may partake in the laughter. I'll wait. :)
Not being cool enough to fight for Hitler means you would have had a choice to fight for him. Most German Soldiers, like I said earlier, did not have that choice. They were drafted. Most do not know that. Most think they joined the military on their own to support Hitler's fucked up views. I was shedding a bit of light to show that they didn't really have a choice. I would apologize for "Not getting the joke", but I didn't find it funny, nor am I sorry.
I would bet money that everybody with a working brain knows that germans did not all fight for Hitler voluntarily. The joke was it makes you cool if you fight for hitler if you did not think that was a joke my bad just move on. When me and grim pointed it out though you got angry we were down voting your "truth" we are not down voting your truth we already know but the thing is when we explained it was a joke and you missed it you kept going and i just tried to explain it ruined the joke when you pull up some fact that is irrelevant to the joke.
Like I said, I'd apologize, but I am not sorry for ruining a joke that I did not find funny. I do not see how I ruined the joke anyways. You think my comments have caused others not to post in regards to your joke? I also don't see where I showed anger at all. I am not angry, nor am I upset at all. I do wanna give you props, though. You've not been disrespectful like I've seen others get.
If you adress him by his first name you'll say
"Hans, hol den Flammenwerfer!"
And if you're curious smitty, that'd be "Zum Flammen werfen" in german. You were very close actually :D
