40. Chancellor Merz is correct: the survivors of WWII considered themselves liberated by the Allies
Thu Jun 5, 2025, 03:10 PM
Jun 2025

Germany lost an entire generation of men to the horrors and destruction of World War II. But it was children and womenfolk who survived when the dust finally settled, and most of them were rooting for the Allies to liberate them. Not many Nazis were left, few survived the last battles, many were taken prisoner by the Soviets, others killed themselves, or else ran off when they found a chance to do so.

Since Chump never studied history, and he has no empathy for anyone but himself, it's beyond his reasoning. D-Day is an important day in Germany, and all of western Europe. Not that Chump would ever understand or care.
