This is why I don't take family photos with a hat or flag that announces my political affiliation.

Whomp whomp
That younger boy has the right idea, giving a bit of a wave.
I was thinking that he's giving the same salute Hitler himself would give in response to salutes. He had the same haircut too. That boy was officer material.
lol the wife's annoyed smile
This family could pass for Jewish. Maybe they just didn't want to die.
Huh?
I'm saying under fascism people will conform whether they believe in the cause or not for fear of death. We don't know anything about this family and saying they are Nazis celebrating a bright future may be far from the actual circumstances.
Ooooooh a rare racist that admits there was a Holocaust. That's a bingo.
What?
lol he copied the mo.
That's like a MAGA that starts using orange tanner. No wonder the wife looks totally unfulfilled.
Mom doesn’t look convinced.
"this fucking bullshit" if there ever was a look
She's mad that Papa is violating the social rules about giving his children any hint of physical affection.

I wonder how this worked out for them, specifically, in the end. The wife/mother has a very longsuffering look on her face.
Harsh Nazi Parenting Guidelines May Still Affect German Children of Today
huh, who'd'athunk
The book Die Deutsche Mutter und ihr erstes Kind (The German Mother and her first child) by Johanna Haarer was very popular during that time and even basic book for education in the Reichsmütterschule (Reichs mother's school) and even after the war. The fortunately last reprint is from 1987.
It's a very sad reality, not only in Germany.
I bet the oldest son got drafted towards the end.
...and the others got press ganged into the Volkssturm.
I'd bet both elder sons got drafted, as the one on the right looks like 9-10.
Well the Weimar Republic was also a regressive shithole run by an absolutely terrible monarch. I'm sure the wife had been suffering in Germany for a while
I made a silly mistake
Not really... the creation of Weimar is literally the go-to text-book example of how liberals will jump into bed with fascists as soon as the prospect of socialist revolt is at hand.
Look at France today to see the process ongoing...Ambiance in most right wing parties (incl. Macron) is like rather Bardella than the Front Populaire.
Ah, yes, remember how the Social Democrats called the Communists 'social fascists' and refused to work with them?
Oh, wait, sorry, I got it reversed, my bad.
Gee... I wonder why on earth that could have been?
It's a complete mystery, I tell ya.
"Oh no, the mean ol' social fascists promised to have elections instead of allowing a government by force of arms like the Soviet Party Line wanted, how terrible"
Fascist scum like you aren't welcome here.
That's the German Empire. The Weimar Republic was an unstable shithole run by a revolving series of coalitions that ended with ze Nazis.
That's right lol I forget how short lived the Republic was
It survived longer than the Nazi reign did though
14.5 years compared to ~12
Blink and you'll miss it!
Probably fine. I think a lot about how Bayer, which literally made the gas for the chambers, is still around and apparently doing well. And while Germany was war ravaged, it wasn't to a much greater extent than the rest of Europe.
Yes but I also imagine many of the males in that picture died or were injured
Germany lost an entire generation of males during WWII. They didn't run out of war machines, they ran out of soldiers.
