what, you mean that capitalist companies trading with Nazis is different from the state itself actively collaborating with those same Nazis? crazy idea. Almost like there’s a difference between the actions of individuals and the actions of a country.
US fighters were prohibited from targeting US factories and buildings in Germany during WWII. The state is complicit.
There was no nazi collabortion with soviet union and US trading with nazis in midst of war isnt actions of individuals
I’m sure the Polish will be glad to hear that the Nazis didn’t collaborate with the Soviet Union while being invaded on both fronts.
Them invading poland is common denominator, doesnt make it collaboration.
Ah yes, if someone’s punching you in the face and I decide to stab you in the back after telling the other guy that we’re cool and we’ll divide up everything you own, that’s not collaboration. We just happen to have the same goals and decide to do the same thing that helps each other and ourselves after agreeing to do so.
this never happened, though

That was a secret pact! You’re not supposed to know about it. 😡
(Weird how they even bring it up at the beginning of the comment chain and then acts dumb about it. Even the Soviet Union acknowledged the pact eventually)
There was indeed a pact no one denies it
Wikipedia is a joke. I have debated on this topic extensively, bring something good.
How about the original documents?
