Gorka got the (jack)Boot after being outed as NeoNazi
The “after” part being 6 months which, for those keeping score, was right at the election. So, how did Trump and his other idiots not realize their comrade was a Nazi? Or for that matter he keeps making opinions on … Continue reading

The guard towers of Camp Amache, CO, Japanese-American internment camp
Visitors to what remains of the WWII-era Granada Relocation Center located on Highway 50 past Lamar, are tempted to conclude that the remote location was isolation enough to restrict the movement of its 7,000 Japanese-American internees. Gone are all 560 … Continue reading
Your father’s Lili Marlene, specifically
On the subject of historical misconceptions, you might say I’m hugely sentimental. So the tale of Lili Marlene catches me up like a honey trap. What does the name conjure for you? A Nazi Mata Hari? A fictional musical persona … Continue reading

Ignoble WWII bombing of Coventry commemorated with coined slur, ours

UCSB Prof William Robinson pro-Semite
Wouldn’t you think it bad form for Israeli militants to behave like Nazis, while immunizing themselves with the self-righteous indignation that any criticism of their actions can simply be dismissed as “anti-Semitic?” Photographs and confessions emerging from the IDF’s atrocities … Continue reading

Hummel volunteers were unfit for Nazis
Godmother Superior of kitsch, Maria Innocentia Hummel, intended her “Volunteers” to be a plea for peace. The forlorn would-be soldiers were an insult to Hitler, but a half century later, the United States would pervert Hummel’s satire and enlist the little boys into the war against Iraq.

Gaza is not the Holocaust that the Jews suffered in the Warsaw Ghetto of WWII
