Apparently I’m now a shitlib for not buying into this disgusting tankie propaganda that it was all the Wests fault and Stalin had to ally with Hitler.

For a mod who loves to ban others for bad jacketing, they sure have no problem doing it to other anarchists.

    About the tank school (not reading all this RN): It was for the Reichswehr, which was the army of the Weimar republic.
    Also please read your own links, the 2nd paragraph of the wiki page reads:

    Following the Nazi party’s rise to power, the school was closed and Germany’s Tank Force and Air Force were trained in Germany.

      So you didn’t even bother to read the 2nd half of that sentence, where I explicitly state exactly what you’re calling me out for having excluded? Come on.

        I even read the whole article and thus thought it regarded the school as a whole

        Closure

        In the early 1930s, the political situation for the tank school began to change. The Soviet Union opened itself to the West while Germany attempted a closer approach to France.[1]

        In December 1932, Germany achieved being viewed as an equal at the Geneva Conference, making the secret schools somewhat unnecessary. With the rise of the Nazis to power in January 1933, the ideological gap between fascist Germany and the communist Soviet Union became too large and the tank school at Kazan was closed in late 1933

          I’m honestly not sure what you mean. How does the article regarding the school as a whole factor into anything being discussed, or at all address how you were trying to present my arguments as lacking credibility because of an oversight in my citations based on a point I addressed in the same sentence?

            The main reason for my original comment was the following:

            They were close enough that the USSR even allowed the Nazis to run a tank training school […]

            Which again (intentionally or not) misrepresents historical fact. Weimar Germany was not at all the Third Reich…
