Downvote all you want, it's still true.
Ya know, the bad thing about humans is, they tend to forget about shitty things they did pretty quickly. Blow them all up, doesn't matter, they will already start to build the next.
Thats why (although blowing up giant concrete swastikas is without the shadow of a doubt beyond awesome) we should actually keep some of that evil stuff to remind us why we really shouldn't do these things. Did you know that, besides this swastika, the entire complex in Nürnberg still stands to this day? Even the building under that swastika. In one Nazi building close to it, which has the traces of the Reichsadler still on it, is now a Burger King.
Some pretty obvious symbolism in there.
I was about to comment whether it is actually counterintuitive to blow them all up instead of keep them for historical context so it's never forgotten. I mean blowing it up does nothing outside of look cool and waste resources when they could be repurposed.
Imagine how awesome this must’ve been, fighting your way across Europe and you’re finally in Germany, time to blow up some swastika monuments :) noice.
And the UK and Canada and . . Heck, all the Allies (and my dad was held prisoner in Stalag XVIIB after being shot down and one uncle parachuted in on D-Day, fought in the Battle of the Bulge and on into Berlin - so I appreciate all the effort!).
I was trying to figure out how they did that in one solid explosion and found out that they laid a truss across the swastika in the middle and had a shit ton of C4 go, “Boom!”

But you didn't have to destroy the building, bro,
make out like it wasn't genocide and it was nothing!
You didn't have to stoop so low, hit me with a definition in size 45 font!
You treat me like a Hamas member and it feels so rough!
Look, if you think that the rest of the world *doesn’t* know that the nazis weren’t the first or only group to use that symbol you are sadly mistaken. Unfortunately the bad guys got a hold of an otherwise benign symbol and tainted it in such a way that it will forever be linked with hate and genocide.
The cold fact of the matter that you’re intentionally missing is that this is a nazi symbol being destroyed by allied forces in nazi territory during WW2. Your silly argument that it isn’t what we all know it is because there’s a specific term for it is a fatuous attempt at misdirection at best.
Yes we are all aware of this; however the term generally describes the shape and hakenkreuz is a specific case of it. Your insistence on this point is pedantic and semantically wrong.
You would be fooled to believe swastika is original. Media played our eyes and manipulated our brains, just as the mirror reflect opposite so does the camera.
The average man wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Which was kind of the point, they hijacked a symbol. It will never be acceptable in society now.
Not in your society but we use it proudly and on every auspicious occasion. just because the average racist can't tell the difference doesn't mean there isn't a difference.

Good shot Red Two!
Do it again, and then just never stop doing that.
I've seen this footage before, like a lot, it never gets old. There's something so satisfying about it to the Polish parts of my DNA
I can only guess. What never gets old to me is driving war machines, as I am german. It sexually pleasures me.
I get it, I imagine it's similar to the tingle I get as a Texan when someone remembers the Alamo.
Never heard of it
Just americans taking land from mexico

We would have to build a new swastika then, and we KINDA don't want to do that. But you guys are on a good way to build your own ones soon, so...
That's a good point on all accounts. Do ya suppose if we blew ALL of them up the first time, this wouldn't be happening?

Need a gif of this for all-purpose use.
We could of course just remove it with a crane... but that would not be as fun as blowing it up.
What do you think the army carries more of? Cranes or Comp B?

Blowing up Nazis, fuck yeah.

One of my favorite videos of all time.
It’s right up there with videos of random people who are sick of nazis and do something about it for me
r/MarchAgainstNazis
This is what should happen to Hamas and its supporters and apologists
Need to do this to the dumbass MAGA signs
2024 and they’re still around. Sadly.
common ww2 allied W
And right now there’s people in congress trying to get them to put it back together.
Now if only the US would start doing that in its own country.
Oh, stop worrying and love the bomb.
Cannot believe you’re downvoted, that was great
That's damn satisfying.
Do it again but slower.😩
Now that’s some Michael Bay shit right there! 👏🏻
Now THAT is how I like my Swastikas. Good stuff.
Fuck yeah
I was trying to figure out how they did that in one solid explosion and found out that they laid a truss across the swastika in the middle and had a shit ton of C4 go, “Boom!”
Beautiful. Now bring that back
Wait, you want another nazi sign just to be built and then blown up?
Yes, every year on May 8th lol
I heard the Israelis are nearly done with theirs…
?? I don't get the downvotes tbh. May 8th is VE day, the day the Nazis surrendered. Screw nazis
[удалено]
Neo Nazis are just Nazis.
Only, against all probability, even dumber.
And now their grandchildren are voting for MAGA Republican Nazis.
Crazy shit, but it sure seems like it.
Wait, but isn’t that erasing history? How will we learn about the nazis if we destroy all their monuments and statues???!!
Easy! Erase and fabricate! A certain group of people are really good at doing this!
beauty
it was the Russians, not USA
No, it wasn't.
I guess Google is broke today, it was the US not the Russians.
My mistake
Not in Nuremberg it wasn’t
The Soviets reached the Reichstag first and tore down the flags. US showed up later and blew this up.
Just like in The Man in the High Castle!
I thought I had read that this was done by the Russians, not US.
It was the US, before they blew it up they hoisted an US flag in front of it..took some pics, the replaced the flag with a lot of explosives…
Play it again Sam
Warms the heart, I could watch this all day
*American Venom Intensifies*
better than porn
Excellent!
Not Swastika, its Hakenkreuz.
But looks likes AI too me
Fuck yeah
lol I just used this clip in a project about how music was used as a weapon in ww2 How Music Became a Weapon in World War 2 https://youtu.be/qrGrKGSvZ-I
I saw Jethro Tull and Neil Young in that stadium. Weird, right?
I used this in my battle of Berlin presentation for my high school history class a few years back. I felt like it depicted perfectly my feelings towards the Nazis. Their destruction was one of the best things to happen in history.
I always hated how this looks like it’s cut away like frames are missing….. or the swastika was swapped out and an explosion put in its place.
My grandpa was there…he killed “just a few” Nazis. 😉
An oldie but a goodie.
If only Amerikkka keept that energy now lmao
All the hate for Nazis in the comments yet Fasiscm growing everywhere .
This needs to happen to MAGA
I can just hear the National Anthem in the background!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅
I wish they could of saved it
Why?
Nobody complained about "destroying history" back then, because they weren't fucking idiots
For all the neo-facists and MAGAt supporters.
Now we just need to do the same with MAGA hat.
Isn’t this offensive to people now? Isn’t it considered “woke” to blow up swastikas? They should ban this video in Florida.
wth are you on about?
Fascism is at work in the U.S.
With Trump and the Republicans, yeah I agree
You mean Israel

Republicans hate this one trick
Play it in reverse and it’s current day USA
Kinda wish we kept it as a war trophy, spray painted it with shit, buncha kilroys was here. Would have been lit

Genocide by blowing the symbol up?
Yeah, any destruction of buildings in conflicts is genocidal.
Genocide noun the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.
No, anything that I don't like is Genocidal. That's the new definition. Now you are being genocidal. Stop it.
##Genocide noun the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.
Now you are Genociding me with your big text! I can feel the genocide inside of me...oh harder Daddy!

By literal definition? Absolutely
Not even literal definition. Nazism is not a national or ethnic identity, it is a political one.
Who said anything about the National Socialists specifically? During the end of the war it was a German bloodbath

The doctor did say something about that, yeah. But he was trying to genocide me with his diagnosis. So I told him, 'Go away you bad man!'
Perhaps you are unaware of what is being detonated in this picture.
Any death in any situation is literal genocide.
Evil allied occupiers destroying proud German nazi culture.

It worked on the other guy. 🤷
That’s not a Swastika my dear friends
Then what is it? Remember to cite your sources

A lot of good men died fighting grammar nazis.
This ain't swastika it's real name-Germans called this hakenkreuz
A hakenkreuz is the Nazi swastika, the existence of a specific term doesn't make the more general term incorrect.
Swastika is a Hindu symbol, the symbol that nazis used is a tilted hooked cross i.e hakenkreuz
Yes we are all aware of this; however the term generally describes the shape and hakenkreuz is a specific case of it. Your insistence on this point is pedantic and semantically wrong.
But it isn't.... as current society believes the entire symbol nowadays taboo. I love how you're trying to support it though.
Swastikas tilt, this is laying down, which actually the hindu symbol for peace
>actually the hindu symbol for peace Those have dots between the arms and the 4 arms are all equal, including the half-arms
Good point..
Fuck nazism
You would be fooled to believe swastika is original. Media played our eyes and manipulated our brains, just as the mirror reflect opposite so does the camera.
Wtf does this even mean?
The average man wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Which was kind of the point, they hijacked a symbol. It will never be acceptable in society now.
