Says you. Apparently huffpost, myself and a whole lot of other people are fine with calling it a nazi sub.

Do "Liberty Ships" count?

Sorry, I will leave the thread now

To the dead men in U-168, rest in peace.

Really it should be called an 'Ex-Nazi Sub'.
And I object to crew being found on board.
Crew supposses live beings.
Crew remains or ex-Crew would be more PC.
Liberty ship implies nastyness directed at those who didn't have them.
I object to that.

I also object to my objections!
That fits right in here.

Been busy at work. Did I miss anything?

I'm baffled by how a political ideology could own a war machine that is built for a nation's military. When another government takes over, will it still be a Nazi sub?

Did the whole military become Nazi just like this submarine? What distinguishes from something that is Nazi and something that is not Nazi? Do these weapons have party member numbers too?

I am sorry you're baffled. I'm not.

No then it would have been a Bundeswehr sub.

All part of the nazi war machine. That's good enough for me.

Do these weapons have party member numbers too?

What, a stamped nazi symbol on the weapon isn't enough for you?

I agree. What has privateer done for us, apart from working his ass off to help make arguably the best mod ever made?

Hey, you need to direct your angst to the Huffington Post, ok?

Nazi Submarine Torpedoed During WWII Likely Found With Crew's Remains (PHOTOS)

Exactly. It was a military vessel under the rule of Nazi Germany.

I'm of German heritage myself.

I hear all the time how US forces were battling communist forces in Korea and Vietnam. The Nazi army was also facing communist forces, armed with communist planes and communist rifles and communist tanks. Not to mention how Reagan faced down and ended the communist threat. It's not limited to "Nazi", and it's a perfectly valid way of describing equipment used by Germany during the early 1940s.

I'm no expert on the Third Reich, but I'm sure the person who was controlling the concentration camps wouldn't make his title "Mr. Slave labor".
I wasn't aware that Germany had a political position called "Nazi party badge in gold". As you claim for it to be so, what was the "Nazi party badge in gold's duties and where was his office? Is this an elected position and how long are the terms?

I'm also having a hard time finding "Mr. Slave labor" position in the German Nazi cabinet.

You do realize that being a Nazi doesn't mean your a politician, right?

Come back when your ready to talk like an adult. Until then, keep watching your favorite channel, the "Hilter and the Aliens built The Pyramids" History Channel.

That wasn't aggressive, that was simple, you were talking crap.
Your pathetic attempts at insults are truly pathetic, grow a pair and sort your facts out before you start ranting.
It was pointed out very early in this topic that you were clearly mistaken in your views and conclusions, which means you are doing a faux outrage story worthy of the Daily Fail.
Instead of stopping and thinking you instead doubled down on your initial mistake and dug yourself deeper.
Come back when you are ready to think, or stay as you are, bent over with your head in the hole you dug yourself into and have people lining up at the very easy target you present.

Just to push the point home.

I'm no expert on the Third Reich

Obviously, as only a complete idiot would bring up the Flensburg government to make that point if they knew anything about it.
After all you would have to be really dense to use a cabinet full of Nazi war criminals, directly involved in all the worst aspects of the racist ideology, to try and make a point about some germans and the military not being actual raving loony Nazi pricks.
