  • Wehrmacht :3
    Do not tag this Nazi, this is a officer uniform of German officers in WW2, not Schutzstaffel or party officials.

    Uh, no? Wehrmacht was also ran by Nazis, and the Supreme Commander of Wehrmacht was Adolf Hitler? And Wehrmacht was closely cooperating with Schutzstaffel? You can learn that by just reading the summary of Wikipedia's article on Wehrmacht.

    "Closely" is quite relative. The main difference was that the Wehrmacht was the regular national army while the SS were an armed political group (Being an elite force was propaganda as they didn't have any special combat training)
    There was often enough trouble between them tho, and often enough they only worked together if they had to as many Wehrmacht officers didn't had a good opinion about the SS.

    (Don't want to defend anything here, just wanted to point that out)

    But still, Wehrmacht were the unified forces of Nazi Germany, so it should be tagged as such.

    Political pedantry aside, implicating wehrmacht and nazi would devalue the meaning of both for the sake of "common sense" convenience. (I take issue with the implication of soviet_union and russian for similar reasons.)

    Don't get me wrong, the "Clean Wehrmacht" is a myth, but it's equivalent to saying every Soviet soldier was a member of the Cheka, or during the Falklands War it should have been named Her Majesty's Royal Conservative Navy.

    Did you seriously just use Wikipedia as a reliable source?
    The Wehrmacht was the national army of Germany during the Weimar Republic which was not Nazi and then during the Third Reich which was ruled by the NSDAP.

    The German Army worked with the SS because that was part of their duty as the army of Germany. People who were wanting to serve their country and weren't necessarily Nazi were in the Wehrmacht but those who were full blown Fascist would join the Schutzstaffel.
    Stop talking out of your ass.
    The Wehrmacht handed over Partisans and Jews to the SS as that was their direct orders.

    Not all Germans were Nazis and the way you talk shows your utter arrogance and shithead attitude.
    Fuck off in short.

    So you're saying that the Wehrmacht wasn't Nazi, despite the fact they wore Nazi emblems on their uniforms?
    Also, the Wehrmacht was active from 1935 from 1945, and the Nazi Germany existed from 1933 to 1945. Wehrmacht wasn't a part of the Weimar Republic, because it wasn't a thing during the time Wehrmacht existed.
    My point is that this picture should be tagged as "nazi" because Wehrmacht was a part of Nazi Germany. Also, there was no need to insult me over pointing out some facts.

    The name Wehrmacht was a term for the German Army after 1935 combining all 3 main army divisions particularly the Heer. One thing you are forgetting is that, that was just it, the NAME. The uniforms, the standards, literally everything was the same from the Weimar republic. The nazi Emblems became the state emblems of the Reich (Realm) of Germany and thus they were applied to the German Army uniforms. Wehrmacht is simply a change of name and organization where the army was repurposed after the Rhineland from being a small defense force to being a actual full fledged offensive capable army designed for crushing the enemy out quickly.

    Erwin Rommel was not a Nazi was served his country in the new emblems and wearing the ARMY uniform not the SS uniform.

    Rommel was later forced to commit suicide.

    It should not be branded Nazi because it insults every german that fought in WW2 to serve their country which had been disemboweled by the treaty of versailles.

    Was the German ARMY (Not Schutzstaffel) innocent in the events of WW2? no, not at all but neither were the Soviet and Allied armies.

    If a character has both, then they get tagged as both. A wehrmacht without any Nazi iconography shouldn't be tagged as nazi, so that people can search for them separately. Don't want to see either? Then blacklist both.
