“Germany a Nazi salute is a felony. So is questioning the official narrative of WWII which includes the Holocaust. A German scholar, no matter how distinguished or how much evidence he has, who raises any doubt about any aspect of the Holocaust narrative is sentenced to prison. German historians are not even permitted to point out that WWII started because England and France declared war on Germany. The simple basic facts of the war’s origin cannot be legally acknowledged by German historians. The truth is considered Nazi apologetics.”
“Yes you did, you invaded Poland!”
- Basil Fawlty
Also most of those who do deny the Holocaust, do it because they have neo Nazi sympathies. I was pleased when David Irving was jailed. So basically, you don’t get to gaslight those whose ancestors were herded into gas chambers.
AND, I know that law was brought in by the Allied powers, when they occupied Germany after the War, but I still think it’s a good one. As for our governments, they only banned displaying swastikas this year… what took them so long?!
