"We do draw the line because we don't want to be promoting anything that's pro-Nazi. There's no Nazi Party salutes [allowed], for instance. It's really focusing in on on the combat troops, which were not necessarily Nazi Party members," Rob Collings told me.

The Bride of Anaphylaxis (@quatoria.bsky.social):

that's a real load bearing "not necessarily", right there

Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

On that, the AHM pres. has a point - a lot of the rank and file German soldiers had the political and world-events awareness of a recently contacted deep forest tribe member, often because they were. Their understanding was handed to them by state authorised schooling, and were drafted.

Then there's officers, who were always party members by choice, even if the choice was "Sign the card or be assigned to the Eastern Front".

By the time it gets to the black Hugo Boss uniforms, the choice is unforced

Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

These re-enactors have no such excuses. They each and all made the unforced choice to pull this stunt.
