Did the Soviets not have their own Operation Paperclip?
Operation Osoaviakhim - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Osoaviakhim
Yeah this is brainless pro-Soviet propaganda. All too common here, sadly.
The scientists where used as a resource, not given high ranks in civilian and military life you 🤡
Despite this, the affected specialists and their families were doing well compared to citizens of the Soviet Union and the Soviet Zone, apart from the suffering of deportation and isolation. The specialists earned more than their Soviet counterparts. The scientists, technicians and skilled workers were assigned to individual projects and working groups, primarily in the areas of Aeronautics and rocket technology, nuclear research, Chemistry and Optics. The stay was given for about five years.
…
After this period of intellectual quarantine had passed, the specialists returned to Germany between 1950 and 1958, the majority of them before 1954. Before leaving, they were taught to keep their years in the Soviet Union secret. Some specialists received chairs in GDR universities (e.g., Werner Albring, Waldemar Wolff), became an East German party official like Erich Apel. Otherwise the GDR had difficulties to offer adequate jobs because the industry was mostly down. Brunolf Baade was given responsibility for developing and producing a passenger jet. A portion of about 10% made it to West Germany, Austria or the US, among them Fritz Karl Preikschat, Helmut Gröttrup and Kurt Magnus.
Yeah, sounds like the Soviets punished them harshly. Totally treated them like “resources” and not better than most of their own citizens.
There was a point in my life that I had two cats. One had a name and one didn’t, they were still both cats.
lmao this is literally the USSR using Nazis for labour. Big fucking deal 🤣
They’d be workin my camps too. No shame in that.
Comparing this to high ranked, influential positions they got in America is just a coping mechanism. Look what they’ve done to your brain dude…

Denazification in East Germany was also lacking
Part of the trouble is that Nazism had co-opted so many people by then that to literally murder them all would be another Holocaust. At the end of hostilities, nobody had the stomach to murder like 10% of all Germans.
The third reich did have its fifth columnists however, and people too often give them short shrift in their recollections. If there were a few more in the right place, I like to think a lot of lives could have been saved, maybe the whole thing stopped earlier.
They didn’t have to punish them with death, I am against the death penalty by nation states. Just actually forbidding them from becoming party members and high roles in society would’ve been good.
Laudable of you. I’ve heard it opined but I haven’t seen the proof, that it would have been impossible to carry on as a society without allowing former party members to hold certain offices, such as judges and other positions. I don’t know if I credit that version of events personally, but it’s the one on the table that I know of.
Was this before or after Russia teamed up with the Nazis to carve up Poland?
after
But what is the result? Where are more nazies nowadays, in Europe or in Russia, hmm?
Just so we’re clear, you think giving Nazis high ranking positions in western countries was a good idea?
just so we’re clear, the point is this meme is false, you’re playing dumb and look like a tankie
That’s the funny part, they don’t just look like one, they are one.
if you mean all tankies are doing a fake extreme authoritarian communist thing as a troll tactic, i agree.
Tank me up baby
yeah okay dogbert… taken from dilbert… written from a racist trump supporter….
you’re super genuine and not just acting out a bit, just like all other tankiesThe fact that Scott Adams seems to know how terrible capitalism is and depicts it regularly in his cartoons, but is a complete idiot conservative will never cease to fascinate me. I would say he needs to pick a lane, but I think he needs to find the road first.

Liberals when you have better principles than them:
yeah, ok nazi lover
Talk about a leap.
That’s like if I asked you “Just to be clear, you think all those officers, their families and children should have been shot?”
Yikes dude. Can’t even answer the question… not a good look.
.world is the ‘pretending I’m not a Nazi’ server. Not sure why anyone still federates with it.
Yeah. You didn’t ask me a question. Pay attention. You’re continuing to embarrass yourself
Yeesh, this is like that Sydney Sweeney interview all over again lol. This should not be difficult…
It’s like the Sydney Sweeney interview where you mistook one of the set crew for Sydney Sweeney
No, I think they should have been vivisected and died over days in public. Their beloved pets too.
But I’d accept shot as a compromise.
Pfff, in Amerikkka, of course!
Gee, I wonder if there’s a formative event in the early 90s that could’ve had some effect on this. Maybe a decline in quality of life that would make people liable to embrace a rightwing dictator. Perhaps neoliberals could be involved? Nah, no way.
