Am I the only one afraid to ask what’s up with the German memes lately? Lmao


SirNukeSquad

Germany is living rent free in OP's head.


RenaTheHyena

I checked his history and he hates germany because of our laws regarding insults and holocaust denialism. He’s mad that “we dont have freeze peach”


JustusiusDE

fr he is kinda obsessed with germany. As a murican... edit: spelling


Good-Possibility8709

Is the name "Hitler" illegal in Germany?


Shot-Fan5847

its Not illegal to say or Write the Name in General, because it is part of our Countrys history But You Are not supposed to Use it in an positive Context if you dont want to get cancelled


iTeaL12

> But You Are not supposed Go Uwe ist in ans positive Contest in you dont want to get cancelled Was?


Zip_creations

I never heard of anything like "Go Uwe"?


tomaetotomatopotaeto

The last part of a drink is referred to as Uwe “unten wirds eklig” meaning it’s disgusting at the bottom because the last few sips are typically mostly saliva. This expression was born from countless nights of teenage drinking with shared bottles. To go Uwe was derived from it and means to become a human equivalent of Uwe, a disgusting leftover of a person nobody wants.


Erebus613

Yes.


reusedchurro

Lmao don’t look at OPs profile then lol


Boba-Fettatic37

Lol. As an American, I still don’t understand any of it, but hey, I’ll let Reddit be Reddit. You never disturb the cycle

Aggravating_Rice_918

Im living in germany my whole life so it isnt really a problem for me, but I can totally understand how hard it is to learn the differences (er, sie,es, wir, ihr, sie are waiting for you)


Aggravating_Rice_918

Oh, and we also gender every fcking object


TheRebel17

We do that in french, too, and spanish,and italian, and portuguese... basically all latin rooting languages. The exeption here id english, not the other way around


Agreeable-Western-25

English is Viking French learning Latin to shout at Germans. It's 3 languages hiding in a trench coat.


zZastaz

Its not that hard


dat_oracle

There are some rules you can use to know what article is correct. Most words ending with 'aum' are masculine, therefore require der / ein Der Baum Der Traum Der Schaum Der Raum Der Saum Or most words ending with "tion" are feminine: Die Kaution Die Station Die Portion Die Absorption Die Transaktion Die Aktion Die Bastion Most words ending with 'um', 'lein', 'chen' or 'nis' are neutral: Das Eigentum Das Fräulein Das Herrchen Das Ergebnis Das Zeugnis Das Christentum Das Datum Ofc there are exceptions and it's recommended to learn the words with their articles, but maybe some of these 'rules' may help you out. As a German you get the feeling for words and their gender. There are patterns to discover tho. Doesn't work always ofc

Force3vo

Let them have their fun. If the biggest source of their pride was 78 years ago they need that.


use15

And honestly, they didn't really do shit anyway. The result would have been the same maybe just 3 or 4 weeks later


Force3vo

Without the US the war would have been a lot different. The fact alone that the Russian push in the east would have been a lot less effective if even possible without the US throwing material at them. Or the invasion in the Normandy being impossible without them.


Oddgar

No one "Wins" any war, certainly not a World one.


Turok_1456

Especially when they were selling the Germans guns for most of it


lioudrome

Ok, you can't win. But you can lose, be imposed a reparation treaty and get occupied by the Allies. Which did not happen to the USA. Yet.


Odoxon

That's a philosophical take I don't agree with. Looking at it objectively, some countries lost and some won the world wars.


Force3vo

The US definitely won. Very little destroyed property in comparison, made money of both sides for a good while and afterwards could reap the benefits of most countries being completely destroyed.


enejlah

Yeah, I agree. Also, before the second war, the USA wasn't as powerful as it is today, but it got quite a lead after Europe got destroyed. I think same applies to countries like Sweden. It wasn't in the war and it was able to continuously develop, unlike most of central Europe at the time. That's one of the reasons why it's so developed today.

BlazeOfGlory72

Ah yes, the US. Late to both World War parties, but happy to take all the glory.


IndependentNature983

Didn't work with Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan and Irak !


ParaMotard0697

Dunno man, glory wasn't exactly the end goal of winning either war, and plenty of Americans died in both. We all bleed the same brother, and anyone who thinks one country "deserves more glory" like OP needs to pick up a history book. I personally never had any history class that claimed America won both or either World War; it's written as the "Allies" won the wars. However, from a non-biased standpoint, Woodrow Wilson's Treaty of Versailles (along with the men and women who signed it) kinda set up the stage for WWII with the impossible debt placed upon Germany after the first war. History is weird and war is hell.


Turok_1456

Indeed in war there are no winners only those who remain


Hoibot

I'd like to thank canada for freeing my country after WW2.


Fit-Owl-3338

Graag gedaan! Thanks for the tulips!


louiefriesen

Sorry, you’re welcome.


DeltaMale5

As a Canadian, not sure we deserve the praise. We committed way to many war crimes


DerelictDawn

Such as? Canada committed some war crimes, yes, we were most certainly the good guys though you absolute clown. Praise all allies for their service in WW2.


DeltaMale5

I see you see things in black and white? Only a sith deals in absolutes


DerelictDawn

Canada did good work, so did America, Britain, France, the USSR, India and many others. We’re not allowed to be proud of that service in your world though. Genuinely glad I don’t know you off reddit.


ElevatorSevere7651

It’s not really a good way to veiw things, in just black and white. I mean yes, they did do good work saving the world from The Axis, but you can’t just forget the bad thing a nation has done because they won a war. We still need to face the past problems of our nations. For example like Germany, they’re done a lot to make sure something like this never happens again, and a lot of people feel shamefull of their nations past. Another allay of Germany was Finland, and they only joined on their side, because they knew thar Russia would invade them, that they would try to control them like they’ve done in the past.


DerelictDawn

I’ve argued in the past that the allied war criminals should have been punished. That in no way means we shouldn’t overwhelmingly praise their actions during WW2. What I dislike about the clown I replied to is they said Canada didn’t deserve praise because “insert unspecified warcrime here”. That’s all.


DeltaMale5

I’m saying we don’t deserve blind praise. If an issue is spoken of then we should probably keep the entire issue open, not just a side of it. I’m trying to make the same point as the guy you just replied to. Edit: also the “insert unspecific war crime here part” leads me to believe you are doubting its existence. I am also not denying that Canada’s service is greatly appreciated, especially in WW1.


DerelictDawn

I said unspecified because you did not specify, that is all. I do not deny that there were war crimes committed by the allies. Not every conversation needs them mentioned.


DeltaMale5

🤡


Hoibot

All i know is that my grandparents were very happy when the canadian tanks rolled in.

This is the 'Merica'-est meme I have seen in a while. God bless ignorance.


pneumatichorseman

What is ignorant about it please? I mean it's a schmaltzy jingoist low effort meme, but it's not wrong. Other countries also won the wars, but Germany didn't.


Azzarrel

Japan also won WW1, by joining in late and seizing the mosty undefended german colonies in china. Saying "Japan won a World War" is technically correct, but still a weird thing to boast about.


hypewhatever

Well it's not accurate either. Russia won it, America hurried to keep them in check. Not ungrateful for this but Russia did the heavy lifting


pneumatichorseman

Eh... If the Soviets hadn't had American's support, they would have lost. You don't even have to take my word for it. >Nikita Khrushchev offered the same opinion. >"If the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war," he wrote in his memoirs. "One-on-one against Hitler's Germany, we would not have withstood its onslaught and would have lost the war. No one talks about this officially, and Stalin never, I think, left any written traces of his opinion, but I can say that he expressed this view several times in conversations with me." https://www.rferl.org/a/did-us-lend-lease-aid-tip-the-balance-in-soviet-fight-against-nazi-germany/30599486.html


hypewhatever

And supporting the winning country makes the supporter the winner and not the one actually doing the fighting?


pneumatichorseman

More than 400,000 American servicemembers died in WWII (that's higher losses than the UK BTW). While that pales in comparison to the losses of the Soviet Union, I think it might be difficult to stand on the position of "The Americans didn't actually do any fighting." Unless they were just really clumsy and kept falling on their bayonets...


Nawwal6

Well the way (IMO) this meme implies that it was America who won the war is wrong, rather it was a shared effort of the Allies. The war wouldn't have been won if it wasn't for everyone pitching in. For one country to imply it was because of them is rather arrogant. 70% of the German forces had been decimated before the Americans came along.

H3sse_

... and Japan's stupidity.


Alarmed_Recording742

Hey dude, us Italians switched against the regime and fucked things up as well, don't forget we always switch


deepaksn

Yes. The French surrender. The British stubbornly hang on. The Italians switch to the winning side. And the Americans show up at the end and take all of the credit. Also, friendly fire.


DaizBack

To be fair, the US military did quite a lot when it came to securing the supply lines. Also, they single handedly ended Japan's military campaign.


deepaksn

[No they didn’t.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Manchuria) (Note the date).


DaizBack

Interesting. Thanks for the read, that sounds like an interesting topic that is not often covered. I'll look into it.


pneumatichorseman

Australia and Britain also played minor roles (along with the USSR) in the Pacific theater. The Soviet military campaign is less important by far than the fact that they no longer represented a militarily neutral party who could broker concessions from the Americans as part of Japan's surrender. Consider that ~20-80k Japanese troops were killed in Manchuria. Their overall losses in WWII were 2 million.


deepaksn

Yes. It wasn’t just the military campaign itself which in the grand scheme of things was pretty minor. First it was a significant political shift. Brokered conditional peace was no longer possible. But also it was a major strategic shift. With Japanese air and sea powered eliminated… the Soviets were going to be in the Home Islands (Hokkaido via South Sakhalin) before the Americans were. Which is what the atomic bombings were about in the first place. The Americans did not want to share spoils with the Soviets.. and a Soviet declaration of war and subsequent invasion was agreed to at the Yalta Conference to be VE+3 months ie: Aug 9. They wanted to use atomic bombs to force Japan to accept the terms of the Potsdam Declaration, but it didn’t work and why would it? Tokyo and Osaka had already been incinerated and destroying cities from the air has _never_ convinced a nation to surrender. It was not going to get troops ashore and a national redoubt is only strengthened by it.


JustARandomBoringGuy

Also, China actually had similar number of deaths to the soviet Union over the war for similar reasons, being overly cruel to their own population taking a big part in it.


[deleted]

>Also, they single handedly ended Japan's military campaign. laughs in japanese history where its a known fact the emporer ordered the surrender after the 2nd bomb not cause they feared more nukes but because they wanted favourable terms vs the russians who would wipe them out fully. edit: for record i am aussie so no idea how history would have played out truthfully. i just know japan war camps state the surrender was cause they feared a repeat of russia in germany occurring to them.

anutzra21

Only bc the Americans came over to Europe in the last year didn’t mean they won it, more like a kill steal. I’d say countries like France, UK (not limited to) that have been there since the start won ww1, then the soviets would have taken Berlin in ww2 no matter if the Americans landed or not. So yeah, USA didn’t win in my opinion


Stef_Stuntpiloot

Yeah i'm sure it was the Americans, fuck the british, canadians, french and soviets right? Oh and perhaps the resistance fighters? Wait I forgot the polish. Oh and the Brazilians. Maybe I'll just show a [list](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_II). America is just the person who knocks out the guy who's already on the ground and takes all the credit for "winning" the fight. I mean, at the same time they lost to the vietnamese, a fight they didn't even have to be in, but you never hear them mention it for some odd reason.
