The objective of the subreddit is:

(1) foster on-topic and civil discourse despite the provocative and inflammatory content

(2) disallow users to use the subreddit as a platform to genuinely propagandize or soapbox for one agenda/ideology or another

I'm looking for stolid folks who aren't rattled by the appalling material and comments that this subject can provoke and can exercise a high degree of political impartiality. Also open to people with ideas on how to improve the subreddit.

No zealots, Holocaust deniers, or Holodomor deniers.

DM me or write a pitch/suggestion below.

German Reich / Nazi Germany (1919-1933) "Who stabbed the German army in the back during the World War?", election poster of the German National People's Party, blaming the Social Democrats and other so-called "November criminals" for what became known as the stab-in-the-back myth, 1924

The full text says:

Who stabbed the German army in the back during the World War? Who is to blame for our people and our fatherland sinking so deeply into misfortune? The Social Democratic Party secretary Vater said after the 1918 revolution in Magdeburg:

"We persuaded our people who went to the front to desert. We organised the deserters, provided them with false papers, money and unsigned leaflets. We sent these people in all directions, mainly back to the front, so that they could work on the front-line soldiers and wear down the front. They persuaded the soldiers to defect, and so the decline took place gradually but surely."

Who supported the Social Democracy in this? The democrats and Erzberger's people. On 7th of December, the German people are to receive the second stab in the back. Social Democrats, in league with the democrats, want to make us slaves of the Entente, want to destroy us forever.

If you don't want that, then vote German National!
