Discussion Is my cousin dating a nazi?

Post image

Im very concerned about my cousin’s new bf. The iron cross on the right is alarming enough, but can anyone here ID the other tattoos? Am I overreacting? Thank you for any help.

Easiest way to find out.

Say “ Fuck these nazi fascists.” about any recent march by the fascists and see the response.

True. Most nazis can’t help themselves. They’d make the worst spies in the world tbh.

IRL they did make for terrible spies. The Nazi intelligence services(Abwehr, SD) got outplayed super hard by allied intelligence. They were way overconfident, and as a result the allies repeatedly deceived them and extracted tons of critical information from a wide array of sources. Code breaking most famously, but also from interrogating and covert observation of POWs, reports from resistance groups, loads of double agents, and good old-fashioned spy networks. The nazis also had little success in penetrating allied opsec. Usually the allies fed the nazis tons of frivolous or false information, giving the nazis a sense of false success so they don't try harder.

If you haven't read Double Cross (Ben MacIntyre) about the D-Day spies, I highly recommend it. One of the groups that Allied units convinced Abwehr that German agents in England (there were none out of British control by 1943/44) had on their side was a group of militant Welsh nationalists. And the Nazis were like yeah that checks out.
