|u/PortSunlightRingo - 8 hours
|
|There were many ways to earn points. Time in service. Time in

|combat. Even number of dependents you had back home. The reality
|for most soldiers (which BoB portrays) was that it was very

|It does put into perspective the decision to use the bomb.
|However you feel about the morality of using Nuclear weapons, the
|prospect of sending ground forces into Japan after everything in
|Europe was pretty grim. Even though there were other, cynical
|geopolitical reasons for using Fat man and Little Boy, it’s hard
|to deny the allure of the possibility of ending the war in Japan
|without having to sacrifice the American soldiers it would have
|taken to achieve victory on the ground.
|u/classygorilla - 20 hours
|
|Didn't they estimate 1 million + American casualties or
|something just to establish a beach head? Then combine that
|with the fact you just got done island hopping, where the
|Japanese fought tooth and nail down to the last man. Itd be
|almost impossible to fight them in their home especially after

|u/ChicagoAuPair - 20 hours

|Indeed. I still have extremely complicated feelings about the

|u/ThePeasantKingM - 18 hours
|
|Yes and no. The Armistice of Compiègne was just an agreement
|to stop fighting, not a peace agreement. While a lot of units
|stopped fighting as soon as they received the news of the
|armistice, others were ordered to keep fighting in order to
|secure better positions while they could in case the armistice
|didn't led to peace and hostilities resumed. Some artillery
|units continued firing because they figured it was easier to
|spend their ammunition than taking it back.

|u/Worried_Lawfulness43 - 19 hours
|
|Yeah absolutely. My grandfather told me about how his brother in
|law was fighting in this war (his brother in law is also still
|alive) and he was living in the country side which had a nazi
|appointed leader. The day that Hitler died, there was a lot of
|confusion on who was the proper authority in France. My
|grandfather was 18 at the time.

|u/Worried_Lawfulness43 - 17 hours
|
|I may be crossing my wires but I remember he had been living in
|nazi occupied France. I wasn’t aware that nazis had left when

|where he talked about the death of Hitler.

|My generation had the capture of Saddam Hussein but that really felt
|like it was punching down. Our own government had their own two
|word headline "Mission Accomplished". Good job there W. We also
|had the assassination of Bin Laden during Obama's term. I don't
|know if that was met with so much fanfare. It was done with so much
|secrecy and the man became so separated from his legacy that there
|were already new terror groups that were a bigger menace. It's like
|killing Hitler but Red Skull had already surpassed him with Hydra.
|Very rarely does the death of a leader signify the downfall of the
|organization they lead these days. We get Putin, he probably has a
|line of successors unless Ukraine has Moscow surrounded. It needs
|the combination of securing total victory and the capture or death
|of the leader at the last stretch. Like the last boss at the end of
|a video game. Defeating a line of bosses gives you that momentary
|feelings of relief and fanfare but it's seeing it to the end is what
|really drives those celebration instincts.

|u/TheRollingPeepstones - 4 hours
|
|That's only quoting Dönitz, and he was explicitly trying to send
|the message to Germans that Hitler fell in battle against the Red
|Army, as in literally dying in the trenches heroically. In my
|opinion, Dönitz seriously believed they could still salvage some
|of Nazi Germany even though they lost the war. For that reason, I
|think he wanted to make Hitler seem like a perfectly honourable
|leader who just happened to lose a war. It's not like Kaiser
|Wilhelm II was tried in an international court after WW1, so why
|would Hitler be any different, right? Apparently, Dönitz was
|absolutely shocked when the Allies told him he would be tried for
|war crimes, and he feigned complete ignorance of the Holocaust. I
|knew a few bona fide neo-Nazis many years ago. They claimed to me
|that Hitler's suicide was a "Jewish lie" and they basically
|believe to this day that their beloved Führer fell in battle. So I
|guess in a way, Dönitz's propaganda still lives on in the heads of
|an insignificant minority of people.

|I guess I've seen too many James Bond movies, I thought you

|blocking a cell's ability to produce ATP, a source of energy used
|by your body to perform natural functions. When a person ingests a
|lethal dose of cyanide, the body's cells suddenly stop producing
|ATP. After this occurs, muscle cells don't get the energy they
|need, and the person experiences inconsistencies with muscle
|contraction and relaxation.* *Your lungs' diaphragm and your
|heart are pure muscle; when they can no longer function, you won't
|be able to breathe, and cardiac arrest will ensue. The length of
|time it takes for cyanide to kill a person ranges from around 2-5
|minutes, and during this timeframe, they're fully conscious and
|experience every bit of the chemical's effects.* *Cyanide acts
|fast because its molecules are tiny, allowing it to spread through
|the body rapidly and efficiently. On the other hand, a conscious
|death lasting 2-5 minutes will feel like an eternity for the
|affected person, so cyanide poisoning should probably be one of
|the last things on the world's list of "preferred ways of dying."*

|Sorry for being pedantic, but this wasn't after the (official) defeat of
|Germany. Germany surrendered on the 8th of May, Hitler killed himself on
|the 30th of April and this newspaper is from the 2nd of May 1945.
|Somewhat related fun fact: Germany's surrender is celebrated in Russia
|on the 9th of May, because, while it was signed by Generaloberst Alfred
|Jodl under authorization from Reichspräsident Karl Dönitz on the 7th and
|went into effect on the 8th, the Soviets only believed it after it was
|ratified by the leaders of the branches of the German army in the early
|hours of the 9th.
|u/pun_Krawk - 20 hours
|
|To add some color to this: After Hitler died, it was the priority of
|the rest of the military staff to ensure that the majority of the
|German military did *not* fall into Russian hands. Eisenhower approved
|a 48-hour delay for Jodl to sign the Amistice with Western powers (on
|May 7th), so that he could order all of his troops back from the
|Russian front in an orderly fashion. He stated that the troops would
|only accept this command if German land was *not yet officially* under
|Western control (hence the delay in signing). Jodl claims that he
|saved 700,000 men from Russian capture, and it could have been more if
|he had more time. Likewise, Doenitz had done something similar. He
|had moved Germany's entire fleet to Western waters before the
|Armistice was signed to avoid Russian capture as well.

|His primary goal was to defeat the Bolsheviks, that's a big part of

|economical and military trading with the Nazis while they were already
|murdering minorites and at war in eastern Europe killing thousands. He
|saw Marxists socialists as his enemies and so did Europe. Difference
|is he was an extremist, his campaign and what made him popular was
|mostly saying that "the Bolshevik Jews control the world's economy and
|it's their fault life in Germany sucks". 80% of nazi's troops were

|Short answer: they cannot “do something about it” without playing
|into the fascist’s hands. Long answer: seeking to overturn an
|election would not only be very unlikely to succeed (because they
|already partially safeguarded the election from being hijacked by
|the VP the way Trump attempted to during his 2020 self coup
|attempt). And attempting to overturn the election would make
|themselves seem the same as Trump’s fascists to the layman. We
|already have several top Republicans (including Trump’s last Vice
|President) outright accusing Trump of trying to overturn the
|election in 2020, and on top of the 2000 election ratfuckery by the
|GOP, Dems have the serious moral high ground on this issue of fair
|elections- and trying to overturn this election would only serve to
|validate the false equivalency between the two parties. But also,
|if they *did* intend to do a recount and contest the election
|results fairly and as the law allows, they don’t want to do what
|Trump did in 2020 and refuse to concede and keep screeching about
|how the election has been stolen. That looks bad in court. Only
|publicly challenging the results after finding actual evidence of
|tampering would go a long way to make their efforts seem more
|sincere. Trump’s nonstop lies about voter fraud leading up to the
|election were used as evidence that he was always planning to
|contest the loss.

|So even back then the media talked about it like it was a perfectly

|like this is a serious system I lose more faith in the future. The
|world will watch a dictator take over and do the most awful shit and
|just refer to them in such a bland or respectful way. Nowadays we use
|Hitler as a way to convey a comparison of evil. Like saying the term
|"Grammar Nazi" to convey that maybe someone is being too harsh about the
|specifics of grammar or linguistics. If you call someone Hitler (someone
|who isn't Trump at least) you're trying to convey how authoritarian and
|evil they are being. Of course with Trump it's more of a literal
|comparison, but that's besides the point. It sucks to know that the
