    I mean look nazis are bad but if we look at De-Ba’athification in Iraq things didn’t turn out so well.

    As far as I can tell is Heusinger guy was a career military officer, for the Imperial German army, the Weimer rupublic, Nazi Germany, and Post war Germany. So sure we can he should have defected from the Nazis but he wasn’t exactly a brown shirt either.

      Heusinger was a top ranking Nazi which served in the atrocities and genocide against the Soviet Union.

      Calling this a “career military officer” is extreme Nazi glorification.
