Mick501 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Gotta give it to Hugo Boss. Has there ever been a spifier uniform? Not sure how many hundreds of years the world is supposed to be outraged by a garment or symbol. However perhaps were these things treated as just a part of history, the attraction to using them as symbols of white supremacy would be less.

Billthekiwi Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 With all due respect to the victims of the Nazi's including Jews I think that 2 guys dressed in Nazi military uniforms is not a big deal. They are actually quite good looking to wear I think. A part of the attraction to a Thai I'd think. Now if they had been promoting Nazi ideology that would be different. But it must be remembered that in Europe and in the USA people are actively anti-semitic. Even in the US Congress. That is a real crime in my opinion.

It's only in the last decade or so that they realised that there is an outside world. Open a world atlas and ask any school child to point out Thailand and most would fail, ask them where another country is & you'll most likely get a blank look! Ask about world history or events you might as well ask the brick wall. in what way is that any different then asking a usa child, apart from the history and geography revolving around their country ?

HHTel Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 It is a case of lack of education. It's okay for people to dress up as Nazi's and admire Hitler, IF they understood what they were doing. In general, they don't have a clue. History is sadly lacking in the system here. Maybe it should be compulsory to watch the many documentaries of the slaughter and some films. Oskar Schindler's contribution in 'Schindler's List' is a perfect example and a true story. As regard the Japs invasion. Yes the Thais fought briefly against a superior power before forming an alliance with Japan. How many people know that Thailand formally declared war on both the US and Britain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know perhaps a little bit about the WW2, but only the Asian part. But ask students in Europe, USA, Australia, etc. what they know about Pol Pot.

This was Hitler's army and committed most of the atrocities in Germany. I agree that many in the 'regular army' did not agree with Hitler's philosophy many more fell under his spell. i.e. Brainwashed to believing is was for the greater good. The German army themselves have had to apologise recently for displaying uniforms of the Nazi era. Seems we all need a bit of education.

Popular Post Jingthing Posted December 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) I think it would be much better in the future if it was the embassy of GERMANY registering such complaints in Thailand rather than the embassy of ISRAEL. Why? Well Germany is a much larger and more powerful country than Israel. It's their dark history being glorified by such stupid and repeated displays in Thailand. When Israel does we always get the Jew haters popping up with idiotic they weren't all Nazis BS and also trying to irrationally deflect to the current Israel Palestinian conflict.
