edit: i should make explicit. this meme is prodding at liberals humanizing the soldier of the 14th Waffen SS (1st Galicia) recently honoured in the canadian house of commons. this meme is showing off a ww2 ukrainian nazi unit in a fashion similarly done with the “brave soldiers of afghanistan” who would later become the taliban.
the joke is, we would eventually glorify and humanize them as well with enough time
I have complicated feelings about this comrade 😅
On the one hand, great movie, and very valuable from multiple historical perspectives, ethical issues in its production (live ammunition, young actors) not withstanding.
On the other hand, potentially traumatizing if people aren’t expecting it.
On yet another hand, very funny if reactionaries were forced to watch it 😁
Yeah its a good movie with a precautionary tale for every human being on Earth. Thats why Soviets were hesitant to release the movie and they also changed the name of the movie from “kill hitler” To come and see. Original name was better.
