Someone is posting gore pictures in that thread, proceed with extreme caution. Like reall bad shit. I'll tell yo the context here so you don't have to go to the thread
Some Fash is alleging the flag picture was cropped and darkened bc one oft the Soviet soldiers had a "watch" on each wrist, proving that they were the badguys because they must have stolen the watch from a Nazi, which would be bad. This proves that communism doesn't work and the poor oppressed Germans were something something something fash noises.
The reply point out how fucking stupid that is.
Americans literary sent back entire machine guns back home as trophy’s. Taking a watch is basically nothing.
Afaik, in "Looting is against the laws of war" terms, stealing weapons and war materiel probably isn't the same thing as taking personal effects from corpses, or durable goods from homes.
I’ll be honest and say I don’t really know what the laws were back then. I know it’s pretty illegal now, but there are forms and stuff you can fill out now to take certain stuff back home, but if it’s anything cool you can pretty much guarantee it’ll be denied or higher up will take it for themselves.
Yeah, idk either. I think the Soviets were actually signed on to more treaties than some of the Western nations, but I'm not 100% on that. AFAIK looting has been frowned upon/a hanging offense since maybe WWI? But Idk.
