Wow, this POV: meme is actually POV.
All this Argentina nazi thing feels like a psi op from the americans to distract from the fact they took in much more nazis and incorporated them into government. (Non argentinian btw).
Not entirely. The concept of Germans escaping to Argentina is real, ranking party members and leaders would hide with the help of the Catholic church and make their way to neutral Spain, then take a boat to Argentina which accepted Germans and their ideals plus helped them attain new identities and jobs in the country. Mossad hunted down and assassinated many high ranking Nazis in Argentina and Spain. Operation Paperclip specifically only took German scientists, and the Russians did the same. If you could not be taken under Paperclip, you went to Argentina.
See that an raise you: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip
Yeah I think it was called Operation Paperclip Garden or something like that, Axis scientists got snatched up by the Yanks and Reds and got to continue sciencing, I think one of them uploaded his brain into a couple hundred kilometers of storage tape
Thanks, now I can understand. I wouldn't know about US demographics, but stil... I've lived in Argentina for 95% of my life and never heard this thing until I emigrated to the EU. Truly, I can hardly think we have more Germans than the rest of latinoamerica... We
dodid have lots of europeans that came in between, and around, both world wars. The majority are from Spain and Italy.Argentina has the highest percentage of people of German ancestry in Latin America, and people of German ancestry are actually the fifth largest ethnic group in the country.
You nailed it though, Germans and other Europeans have always emigrated to Argentinia, it's one of the reasons about a thousand officers of the German high command escaped there post ww2.
But as other have noted in the thread, plenty of Nazis made their way into a normal, very comfortable life in the countries that made up the allies. Not like Argentina was special, the country just already had a decent German population already.
"are you winning
sonopa?""Well you see, if Germany had just..."
It's making me feel old in that he's referred to as great Grampa and not just Grampa.
I'm almost 50 and none of my grandparents had turned 20 when the war ended. So if this makes you feel old, you are, in fact, old.
What? I'm not 40 yet and my grandfather landed on D day. And died a few years ago at 98.
Are you winning, dad?
How long can he play until the neck hurt?
If It's me, I'll replace the chair with a reclining one, lap table for the keyboard and mouse. A massage chair would be nice.
I have been trying for years to figure out how I can get a screen on my face and a portable mouse and keyboard so I can work laying down.
Man I never seen a Victoria 2 campaign that successful
People on reddit be like "I don't get it".
He should be sitting further back, that’s just bad for your neck and can give you eye strain
Pretty sure that's Europa Universalis 4, but it could be another Paradox grand strategy game. I'm just pretty sure that's EU4's user interface. If the humour is that it's supposed to be Nazi Germany, it would have to be hearts of Iron, and the German Empire would be named the "German Reich". EU4 takes place before the second world war.
Edit: Nevermind, it's Victoria 2, still before WW2, though.
It's Victoria 2.
Great grandpa appears to be a ww1 vet.
A hearts of iron 4 enjoyer I see.
Victoria 2 ya casual.
I'm so sorry
Close (ish), but no.
The goals of the Second Reich weren't actually that different from the Third. "Lebensraum" originated as a concept in the 1800s and Wilhelm even had plans for ethnically cleansing their African colonies.
I love coming to lemmy.world and seeing lots of casual jokes and conversation about nazism, very cool
We're from the same instance so we should be seeing the same stuff. Yet I'm not seeing any Nazism.
Plenty of .ml stuff makes it to my front page on .world and the few nazi references I see are deliberately making fun of them. Tankie stuff on the other hand, oh boy is there a lot of that.
