The Americans and the British called the Germans Krauts or Jerries during the 2nd world war in an effort to dehumanize them
Did the Germans have names for the allies along the same vein?
What about the soviets or the Japanese?
>>
>>363097
Yanks and wanks.
>>
The Germans most often used Tommy for the Brits and Ami (short for American).

No idea what the deal was with the Nipponese.
>>
You started a new thread just to ask your dumb question?

Americans were called "Ami's" or "Yanks"
Brits were called "Tommy's"
Soviets were called "Ivan"


This is why we need a WW2 general on this board.
>>
>>363123
Not much else on this board
OP can ask whatever question he likes
At least making a new post out of it demands a little bit of quality other than this proposed WWII general which would be shitposting central
Quit being such an autist about it and eat your tendies

The Americans called the Japanese tojo/tojos

They called them Huns as well precisely for that reason. I know the Germans propagandized the Russians as subhuman animals that would come and rape their women... which is exactly what they did. There's that one pic that's a meme on /k/ of the Russians raping a German girl. I don't have it you sick fuck.

Unfortunately /his/ doesn't have a spoiler option or I would use it.
Knowing 4chan, some troll is probably going to report it and ill be banned for a week because the janitor won't look at the context

Was German media actually that brutal in 1945?
I mean I know the world wasn't anymore innocent, but back then media was way more conservative.

>>363572
Considering how slow /his/ is, I hope they do. Surely they've an understanding that it's for honest historical discussion considering it's, after all, /his/, and not /pol/ or /int/ or w/e.

That's obviously not a German propaganda picture. It was made way after the war by some American artist.

The worst they could come up with for the Brits was Tommi
>>
>>363097

germans called brits "tommys" (as in "tommy atkins") and americans "amis".

they called italians "macaronis".

they called russians "ivans", "muzhiks", "bolsheviks", "russkies", "reds"

What did the average German think about the countries they faced, I've heard the captured Brits were treated nicer than yanks and was wondering how true that was
>>
>>364669
The Germans thought the slavs were literal subhumans thanks to Hitler's race theories. We've all heard of how brutal the eastern front is. There was a German officer that I read said something along the lines of "War on the west is proper sport. War in the east is slaughter."
