Question about description of German's in WW2?

[hawker238]

The paper says "Huns kill women and children!"

From WWI.

Yeah, the bloodthirsty hun was a widely used WW1 image.  I should have been more specific, WW2.

Likewise were Americans in Japanese propaganda, they told their own we ate children, I kid you not.

The ABCD powers (America, British, China, Dutch) were usually depicted as demons of some sort.

Anti-German or Anti-Nazi propaganda rarely featured actual Germans in it.  Instead, it featured Hitler or his staff being crushed/humiliated by Allied leaders.

I think you meant the same way that not all americans are liberals. And btw, not all Nazis were soldiers.

So you're going to say exactly the same thing I said using different words?  Well, at least i'll agree and thanks for the news flash on not all nazis being soldiers.

Your mistaken. Pictures of germans as evil beasts were common throughout ww2.

 The japanese are not being oppresed by anyone.  They are trying to revise thier history which they are welcome to do. When they start to do it to our history I think I have to call it.

I think Japanese hate the term Jap so much because they hate to be reminded how increadly **** kicked they were.

The very poster you linked to shows a headline from an american paper calling the americans Yanks...But you dont see the equivilence apperently.

etc.

I don't have a problem with anyone referring to us as Yanks.  If it was so bad we wouldn't put up with a ball team called the Yankees.  I actually get a kick out of it when the Brits say something about 'you yanks.'

That's because we're the United States of America and undeniably awesome.

Jews=Jewish (Commonly used, but many think its not racist)

Wetback=Mexican (Not racist according to many)

Jap=Japanese (Lately, its become the latest "racist slur" )

Redneck=White, country-living person (Used liberally to depict a population group, just like Jap, Yank, Jew and Wetback, but not considered racist, go figure.  )

Pick your poison, I'll show you a political motive.

And thats exactly why the rest of the world hates us.  We're viewed as people who don't take the time to understand other cultures and get along and go along with others, specifically muslims.  Wish I could have the world leaders over to my house one afternoon for a BBQ over 4th of July and see how bad we are and talk as a buncha guys and girls eating hot dogs and hamburgers instead of political azzwipes.

Have pork ribs!

I was being facetious.  I do that a lot.

Just thought I'd point out your paralleling Germans/Nazis with Americans/Republicans. I'm sure it was unintentional, right?

Absolutely intentional.  Not all Germans were Nazis, like not all Rmericans are Republicans.  Same goes for our soldiers.  Not all soldiers are Republicans.  Not all Germans soldiers were Nazis.

Simple and it is a parallel for comparisons.
