Continuities in German socialism?

Wicked Thoughts has obviously had a VERY wicked thought about a certain German torchlit parade.

Torchlit parades are an old and venerable Prussian tradition and predate National Socialism, of course.

If torchlit parades smacked too much of NS Germany you can be sure that the current illegitimate, occupied, anti-German Bastardstate wouldn’t allow it. However, since such parades have a long tradition in Germany, the authorities decided to let one take place.

It says, “Even the helmets look the same” but the helmets don’t look the same—not at all.  Neither do the uniforms.  Nor the men—not their faces, nor their posture—nothing looks the same.  The whole thing looks different.  So I don’t think the guy who wrote the caption on the photo knows what he’s talking about.  I see no reason those men should remind anyone of soldiers in the WW-II German Army .  They look very different.  Extremely so, as a matter of fact.

“Fred, Wicked Thoughts IS a humour blog” (—John Ray)

Oh, OK thanks, John—I didn’t realise that.  Sorry. 

If that photo caption was intended as sarcasm it’s hilarious:  those soldiers look like a bunch of dorks who wouldn’t scare the Liechtenstein army, let alone resemble anything to do with the World-War-II German Wehrmacht.  (What happened, by the way—has the race changed over there or something?  These guys look like they couldn’t beat the local women’s amateur basketball team in an armed conflict.)

Incidentally, on the subject of the Wehrmacht, a pretty funny thing I read not long ago was how the head of the Polish army in 1939 said his forces would immediately “cut the German army to ribbons” in the event of any conflict. 

I mean—leaders all have to keep up the morale of the troops with their statements, but here you had an army that made the military commanders of Russia, England, France, and the United States tremble, and the Polish army, of all armies, is going to immediately “cut it to ribbons”?  As it turned out, all the Germans had time to do before the Poles surrendered was shoot up Danzig harbor a little and drop a half-dozen small bombs or something.  Really minor stuff, and the Poles were out in a matter of days, wasn’t it?  Something like that.

Not really, Fred—the Poles fought hard and well but were ill-prepared with their cavalry. Plus, the Red Army invaded from the East and annexed western Belarus and western Ukraine from Poland. As usual, Poles lost valiantly. By contrast, Czechoslovakia was relatively well-prepared but didn’t fight at all. France had invested a lot in defense but got outmaneuvered by Guderian. Yet even despite the Dunkirk evacuation, a hundred thousand French soldiers died in the forty-day war. The French had developed an old, tired man’s defensive mentality while the German army (with its conscripted soldiers) displayed youthful vigor. There was something boyishly adventurous about the glider attack on fort Eben Emael, for instance. Looking at today’s Europe, I’d say Poland looks younger than its western neighbors.
