Seeing as I am an actual academic working at an actual university in the field of antiquity, it actually seems like I do.

This is the place to discuss History.

You do not have the knowledge to decide what is a fringe hypothesis and what is a sound claim when ancient texts are involved.

You are doing no good service to History!

Our rules forbid fringe hypotheses.

If you want to play academic you need to actually follow the system and publish in a peer-reviewed journal. Because otherwise you're just blogging nonsense.

They ARE “published articles” since you can read them. :-)

They contain textual evidence proving the existence of the practice of operating human breeding grounds.

If you want that evidence in peer-reviewed journals, you’ll have to go look for it.

yeah, its basically nazi propaganda that all the bad things were like, somehow happening nation-wide with disturbingly low civilian resistance while also being entirely unsupported by the nation.

The civilians might have been shocked by how brutal the reality of the camps were but im never gonna believe the narrative that somehow a small group was able to hoodwink the entire nation of germany into accidentally carrying out a genocide.

Yeah, everyones waxing poetic about treating these "poor kids who had been conscripted" with basically nobody questioning why all of these soldiers, even considering many of them were likely just doing what they had to do, were being welcomed with such open arms by the west and were assimilating so well.

Someone could even question if this went hand in hand with hitler getting some inspiration from the USA's segregation for the holocaust. or with allied powers essentially giving across-the-board pardons to axis scientists.
