at first wwii stuff. my great grandfather was a war hero pilot in europe and my dad looked up to him and patton. first it was pattons diaries, then the logistics of the holocaust. a big one was the book burnings. he was always told they burned bibles, and that the swastika was a twisted cross. i still remember the shock and embarrassment when he learned the truth. even then he was an israel supporter, until this war. jews comparing gaza to dresdan was a big one. "that was a fucking warcrime!", but the jews would only laugh. then learning about the oct. 7th propaganda and how exaggerated it was. slowly over the war he got more bitter. when the hooligans got their shit pushed in in amsterdam he actually told me- the student has become the master! i'm proud of the old man. it was a long journey but now we have great conversations about how big of a piece of shit albert speer was, and the autobahn. it helps we have german heritage, i should add.
