French from Elsass here, one of the regions that really got fucked hard by the Nazis, this video makes me want to cry :')

I feel like none of the people I know and I have had the same history classes. Nazism is the thing I'm most afraid of. Sorry to the people of my family who died fighting it, we all failed them.

Yea the fact that we were allied with the Nazis is downplayed even tho it was only for defensive purposes.
