How would I know the Nazis?


In Russia, a lady who was preparing posters for the Victory Day accidentally used pictures of Wehrmacht soldiers instead of the Red Army. A number of people were exceedingly offended.

Her defence was: "We are young and we didn't see the war. We don't know what Fascist soldiers looked like".

Indeed. For the people squeezed between Germany and Russia, it was equally hard - already at the time - to tell much difference between the national and international formats of socialism.
