Seeing Poland Ball on this makes me wonder exactly what kind of sample of people they polled. Is this all redditors?
As a Hungarian myself, I can only say: Hello! We’re also here 👋
Is “killed jews” really a stereotype of it’s true?
It’s just a way of deflecting the subject of Unit 271 731.
Edit: They really should have named that something easier to remember, like “Crimes against humanity unit” or something.
Germany’s stereotype of Japanese is that they raped straighted through China.
I don’t think so tbh. Japan did a lot of horrendous things back then, but it’s still not nearly as infamous as Nazi Germany at that time. The only time I hear or see any mention of that is usually when someone praises anything Japanese and the other person wants to show how extremely highly educated they are by noting that Japan did something terrible more than half a century ago.
America downplayed it because it launched straight into the Cold War alliance propaganda and remembering it would be inconvenient while trying to build alliances against China and Russia.
I don’t know what Germany teaches about the invasion of China and the occupation of Korea and the Pacific islands, but I can certainly see why both East and West Germany would teach it in school.
Is this not correct?
