With Nazis it depended on the current political situation. If they were the allies then they were good, brave and smart. In some cases they could find some convenient proofs that they were really germanic. So it was whatever was necessary. Don't expect any consistency or intelligence from the Nazis.

Patton was a bit insane but he was one of a few Western leaders from WWII with real sense of honor. Nazis and Soviets were one and the same.

>>669407
republic doesn't preclude an emperor/monarch. The closest true English word for res pvblica is 'Commonwealth'.
>>
>>669434
Patton only liked Poles and non-russian Ukrainians. Thats it.

He hated Balkan slavs, East slavs. He hated Serbs. He absolutely hated the Russian Jew commies who passed themselves as slavs too.

Patton was BASED.
>>
>>669450
Yes, but my point was that not every slav was commie. Look what polish leader had to say about commies/russians.

>(About Russians) They are all more or less disguised imperialists, including revolutionists. The trait of these minds, always longing for the absolute, is a vivid centralism. They loathe varieties, cannot conciliate dissonances - such things dull their will and imagination to the extent that they cannot combine varieties into one whole; they reject even the idea of conscious social organizations. [...] Let everything happen by itself, vividly - that is the wisest solution according to them, because it is the simplest and the easiest. Which is why there are so many anarchists among them. A strange thing, but I have never met any republicans among Russians!

yeah i know, i was talking about him - but my question still stands: wasn't him a anti-revolution royalist and napoleon a revolutionay republican?

so it's probably a gaffe in that episode

Let us look facts straight in the eye. World imperialism headed by its aggressive detachment, U.S. imperialism, is directing the course of its economy towards preparations for war. It is arming itself to the teeth. U.S. imperialism is rearming Bonn's Germany, Japan, and all its allies and satellites with all kinds of weapons. It has set up and perfected aggressive military organizations, it has established and continues to establish military bases all around the socialist camp. It is accumulating stocks of nuclear weapons and refuses to disarm, to stop testing nuclear weapons, and is feverishly engaged in inventing new means of mass extermination. Why is it doing all this? To go to a wedding party? No, to go to war against us, to do away with socialism and communism, to put the peoples under bondage.

I dislike him, but his last words were pretty cool, to be honest. I'm being a little liberal with my translation though.

>We have always lived in slums and holes in the wall. We will know how to accommodate ourselves for a while. For you must not forget that we can also build. It is we who built these palaces and cities, here in Spain and America and everywhere. We, the workers. We can build others to take their place. And better ones. We are not in the least afraid of ruins. We are going to inherit the earth; there is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves the stage of history. We carry a new world here, in our hearts. That world is growing in this minute.

"When evening comes, I return home and enter my study; on the threshold I take off my workday clothes, covered with mud and dirt, and put on the garments of court and palace. Fitted out appropriately, I step inside the venerable courts of the ancients, where, solicitously received by them, I nourish myself on that food that alone is mine and for which I was born; where I am unashamed to converse with them and to question them about the motives for their actions, and they, out of their human kindness, answer me. And for four hours at a time I feel no boredom, I forget all my troubles, I do not dread poverty, and I am not terrified by death. I absorb myself into them completely."
