@german_liberal: Know the difference . . . The German military underwent significant political, institutional, and ideological changes between the First and Second World Wars. During the German Empire, the officer corps was strongly influenced by Prussian military traditions, which emphasized discipline, loyalty, hierarchy, duty, and personal honour. These ideals played an important role in the professional identity of many German officers, although they did not prevent military aggression, abuses, or war crimes during the First World War. Under National Socialism, the German armed forces became increasingly integrated into a political system defined by racial ideology, territorial expansion, and authoritarian rule. During the Second World War, particularly on the Eastern Front, elements of the Wehrmacht participated in mass executions, the deliberate starvation of prisoners of war, the destruction of civilian settlements, and other atrocities. These crimes were connected to the broader Nazi policies of racial persecution, exploitation, and conquest. The contrast between the two periods should not be understood as a strict division between an honourable Imperial Army and an entirely criminal Wehrmacht. Both institutions had complex histories, and individual officers differed considerably in their beliefs and conduct. Nevertheless, the transformation of German military institutions under National Socialism illustrates how military traditions and professional discipline could become subordinated to an increasingly radical ideological project. The comic uses deliberate exaggeration and dark satire to highlight this historical contrast rather than to portray every officer of either period as representative of a single moral character. #GermanHistory #WW1 #WW2 #MilitaryHistory #HistoryMemes

гипербола. Вермахт, будучи до осени 1941 года относительно независимым от фюрера, просто ненавидел деятельность СС на оккупированных территориях, так как террор приводил к сопротивлению, что убивало линии снабжения для Вермахта. однако, хоть и генералы ОКВ не были такими кровожадными, как СС, с дисциплиной в ОКВ и ОКХ был полный беспорядок, в отличие от Рейхсхеера, абсолютного пика немецкого могущества.
