It Wandered In From the Wastes
Mikael Grizzly said:Soviets had massive amounts of ordnance, far more than Germans could field. Their tanks were the best in the world, and they had more of them than the Germans.
Soviet tanks were only the best in the world from 40-43. After that most German designs fielded had no problem with these vehicles. However I agree with you on the more statement, but this is an indication of the Soviet industrial machine's efficiency, not any technological advantage over the Germans.
Find me something concrete, other than general similarities.
Concrete between the two leaders? Both adapted a "world view" based upon similar ideas, weakness, cowardice and materialism (greed) lead to great wars. Hitler's second book goes into the cowardice and weakness of European man in great length, which is what he considered led to the Great War and also what led Germany to lose it. He therefore, by using National-Socialism, began to reverse this trend, at least in Germany, but presumably Europe would eventually follow suit as well. The Master realized the same thing, the only real difference between the two is that the Master ironically used a corrupted military science to achieve this by making genetically superior humans.
And you still haven't proven that you made a different point.
And you still haven't proven that I said National Socialists killed for no particular reason. I doubt you ever will.
No, it was equating eugenics with nazism.
Well, there is no way to prove this on my part. National-Socialism is a plethora of things, and eugenics is not an integral part. Adolf Hitler said in his party address in 1934 that, "[the NSDAP's] doctrine will be unchangeable, its organization will be as hard as steel, but its tactics flexible." Indicating that the idea of National-Socialism, which contained the idea of bettering the German people as a whole, was certainly not closed to the idea of eugenics applied on a national scale.
"We do not stand alone" - many nations embraced the possibility of making humans better, before the Allies demonized any such practices
National Socialism is certainly not eugenics, and the same can be said vice-versa. The two concepts are not entirely incompatible, however.
DarkCorp said:It seems to me nazi germany never planned on "upgrading" everyone. You were either close enough to be germanised or you were killed/worked to death outright.
Don't be stupid, Germany never had any designs for total world conquest and "Germanization or death" for everyone. The foreign legions of the Waffen-SS prove tantamount to this.
(Hitler himself didn't even fucking look aryan).
What does an Aryan look like? Pray tell? Don't give me the "blond haired, blue eyed" line because that simply IS NOT TRUE.
Read some works written by prominent National Socialists such as Rosenberg and discover that only a small faction of National Socialists were actually what we call "Nordicists" - people who push the idea that blond haired, blue eyed people are superior.
Addendum:
Dragula said:The Guardian: Stalin tried to breed monkeys with humans to creat a super army. That must be nazism too!
When I first read this it sounded like "DERP".
Stalin's idiotic plan was an aberration of science, nothing more and certainly not the precise science of eugenics National Socialism in Germany provided.
