    What is this even about? Did Nazis use Soviet made weaponry? Not a military buff by any stretch of imagination so genuine question.

    If anything I heard this story that USSR used Nazi weapons in Katyn, either to incriminate Nazis or because those weapons had lower kickback so allowed executioners to work long hours without dislocating their shoulders, both explanations seem silly but whatever.

    So if you wrote Nazi weapons and Commies together again, at least I’d know what you’re on about. Wouldn’t make much difference to your comment since you seem to equate them anyway.

      Maybe he clumsily wanted to say “commie weapons used against Nazis”? That’s how I understood it, it would make more sense I think.

        Thank you! I thought I was amongst comrades here. Though I understand we’ve seen it all at this point and people can believe all kinds of crazy shit.

          Yeah I think we tend to be too quick to jump to the wrong interpretation when reading comments that could be a little ambiguous, that’s a side effect of the liberals coming here to troll I think. We should get into the habit of giving the benefit of the doubt to our comrades here.

          We should also be careful to formulate ourselves in a way to dissipate this kind of confusion, maybe saying “commie weapons and Nazi targets” would have been clearer?

        Sorry comrade, I changed my down to up when Pili explained your comment… Maybe I should log off for a bit, seeing ghosts of liberals everywhere.

          No worries at all. Honestly though it’s not the first time it’s happened, so I think it’s something I need to fix in my style. I’m just sorry I pissed people off, if only for a moment.
