From a quick skim of the post history, the OP spends 90% of their time defending Boruto and 10% of their time defending Nazis.

“If Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well — OK, fine… The problem is he had dreams outside of Germany“
My personal favorite is "Stalin killed millions of his own people, Hitler only killed people outside of Germany!"
Which, holy shit, thanks for letting me know that you don't think of queer folk, Romani, the disabled or Jewish folk as people
We're 25 years away from US secretary of state Kyle Rittenhouse saying something along the lines of "The Holocaust may have killed 200 people but that didn't justify the Soviet war of aggression against Germany" on C-SPAN
I hate this timeline
A lot more mummified officials will have to crumble away before we see zoomer chuds in high office, may take longer than 25 years for Rittenhouse to get his opening

I’ve also seen the argument “Hitler was a genocidal maniac, but he had a plan. Stalin just killed people for no reason.”
Hitler, famous master planner who divided the southern thrust into the USSR and got owned at Stalingrad
TBH, he didn't have other options, because if he commited most of the available forces to Caucasus direction, the Red Army would just cut them off (and basically tried to do this after Stalingrad, although Germans managed to pull most of the forces out already).
Fair point but we can all agree he fucked up by denying the 6th army at Stalingrad to get out before the Soviets sprung the trap even though Paulus was begging for it. It's a small consolation that one of history's greatest monsters was a delusional fuckhead who got worse and worse as the war was nearing the end. But it's also pretty funny.
Paulus only began to ask Hitler for allowing retreat after the operation Uranus had started, and it was already too late. Breakout was discussed later, but it was deemed too risky, because if Germans left fortified positions, they would be easily overrun by Soviet tanks.
I guess Paulus was a bigger idiot than I'd remembered, thanks for the correction
It was less because he was an idiot and more because the Soviets had managed to completely fool German intelligence services, who mistakenly assumed that the Red Army has no more reserves.
