As their list starts with the genocide in Namibia (then German West-Africa, 1804-1908), I assume they mean during WW2.The SS and Wehrmacht murdered a lot of civilians (including, but not limited to jews).

Yes, its one of the key things about fascism. It needs "the other" to blame the ills of the society. So nazi's started with socialist once significant number were killed they moved onto jews, then onto eastrn europens.

I'm familiar with the Nazis views on Eastern Europe. I thought they were talking about the modern German state, but looking into it Nambia was also in the past before the Nazis rose to power.

Overall now I think this poster is just silly conflating modern Germany's actions with the actions of Germany ruled by a king and Germany ruled by the Nazis. This is like 3 different governments all with different motivations.

They've been evil 3 different times under 3 different forms of government, for 3 different motives. Although now that I've said it that way maybe they do have a point
