What did the Nazis do for us?

[Infected Mushroom]

They inspired very fun movies to watch like the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

If you are calling movies about concentration camps "fun", then your definition of fun must be seriously off-beam...

I don't enjoy most concentration camp flicks. For instance, I find Schindler's List and the Pianist to be just okay movies.

However, I like the setup and ironic normalisation of oppression found in the Boy in the Stripped Pyjamas and the performances of the actors in that movie. Its not your typical concentration camp flick. There's something about the way the movie is set up that just brings a smile to my face.

It's easily a top 10 for me out of all movies...

No Nazis, no movies like that.

No "Remus Lupin" Nazi officer sitting at a family dinner chastising "Joffrey" about his father's disloyalty to the Regime. And when a nervous Joffrey lashes out by beating the Jewish server... Lupin chills and eats a sausage.

That and Israel.

No Nazi Germany = no Israel.

Ah yes. "Fun".

The Nazis were fantastic for Germany, until 1941 that is. They only single handedly undid the Treaty of Versailles and conquered most of all of Europe for Germany. Truly a glorious time for them. This was when the German military was at its pinnacle of virtue and might.

Dude, the nazis turned Germany from one of the foremost european powers to the 5th greatest power in Berlin. I'd hardly say they did wonders for Germany.

B-but look at this economic numbers artifically inflated by mandatory work and illegal re-armament! D:

I don't think I'd miss the influx of goyische stories about the Holocaust, or the state of Israel, so two birds one stone I guess.

It’s such an entertaining movie though

And it’s only here because the Nazi regime inspired an author to write a novel

No Nazi = no Thewlis eating a sausage like a chill boss while the wife protests that the servant is being beaten

Just look at the excellent dialogue and acting throughout

I think you're misusing the word entertaining.

For my own sanity that's what I'm choosing to believe.

Not a bad thing.

No Nazi Germany = no Israel.

I think I would rather have some 36 million Jews around than Israel. Israel was a consolation award for having a massive amount of the Jewish populace genocided.

You’re disgusting.

There where several parts of Schindler‘s list I could barely watch. Hell I threw up at least once

I don't consider anything like that entertaining. It's more a reminder of how disgusting some people were then.

Also Israel is built on settler-colonialism and the mass displacement of Arabs in the region.

[Big Jim P]

The Nazis gave us an almost universal demon to stand against.

The also provided a distraction to take our attention away from communism and its far higher death toll.

You just can't handle some movies. That is okay I suppose. We can't all gain access to our inner sociopathy.

Well at least I don’t ever have to question if you’re a neo-Nazi or not

It's a movie about a child who's murdered in the Holocaust, have some moral decency.

That feel when something is a so horrific a film about it makes a military medic sick and we’re supposed to go “lol can’t watch movies”

[Saiwania]

It is nothing specific against Jews in my opinion. I don't bat an eye for example, if I see Israelis gun down Palestinians in movies. There just happens to be a ton of different groups of people that I hate or certain groups that I like far better than others.

It’s like you want to have a conversation so bad that your ignoring what’s actually said so that you can say what you want

[Xmara]

Wow.

I really don't know how anyone can call a movie about genocide "fun" and "entertaining."

I've read a couple of Holocaust survivor memoirs and have watched a couple of movies. I Have Lived a Thousand Years and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas were good, but I was crying. And I couldn't even make it through Night.

[Kaggeceria]

They built the Autobahn.

That was pretty cool.

[Sovaal]

Oh Germany, will you ever stop destroying Europe?

The Nazis did the exact same thing the Germans have always done.

I take that back. This is the real #nowthatswhaticalledgy.

German meme > Calling Hitler a god every time.

[Duvniask]

They built the Autobahn.

That was pretty cool.

Ironically after they had previously opposed it for being a luxury project that would primarily benefit the "wealthy" (i.e. Jews). Plans for the Autobahn had long been a thing and construction of controlled-access highways in Germany had already begun before the Nazis came to power.

In regards to the OP, without the Nazis, it would most likely have been built regardless.

[Liriena]

What did the Nazis do for us?

Dying. Definitely the only thing they were good for.
