RE: What Did You Learn About the Soviet Union in School?

in Quello4 years ago

Many European countries were much better off under Soviet rule. Mandova was once a great country now they are in danger of collapse. But you could say the same for Nazis as well. The most evil regime to ever exist (sarcasm), but thats what we are taught. What will they teach about USA in 100 years I wonder.

Really interesting. We obviously learned many bad aspects of Nazi Germany but we did learn that Hitler was successful in redeeming Germany (and their pride) after being devastated by the first world war. For that reason, perhaps many Germans are still loyal to Hitler. I'm amazed at how Germany could lose two world wars in their own country and still build up to become a successful and prosperous powerhouse of a country. That always impressed me.

However, why are you sarcastic about Nazis being the most evil regime? Indeed Mao and Stalin were worse in terms of the death toll, but were there other good aspects of Nazi Germany?
