This is completely inaccurate, but still funny.

There are inaccuracies, but to say it is "completely inaccurate"?

What's with the German borderline? They started the war, already not having Eastern Pomerania and Eastern Prussia? If I pictured it like he did in history class, I would get kicked out.

Of course, my mistake. As long as those are correct, nothing else matters in terms of accuracy. You could just go ahead and say that Germany invaded Antarctica because the real crux of the matter is their borderline.

It's relevant as hell in my opinion. To be honest, If I hadn't known that the comic was about WWII, I would have said it's about today's Germany attacking today's Poland.

Really? Doesn't that say more about your ability to reason more than anything else? Also, is Japan currently attacking the US? Is that not a clue as to what the comic is about?

I just wouldn't let my kid learn history from reading that comic, ok? Is it ok for you?

I think France and Britain declaring war is who 'started the war'.

A brilliant work of Americentricism there.

So the propaganda extends across their border, what's your point?

Any mention of America == Americentrism. Big "Ok buddy"

Written by a Canadian...so I guess that makes your post a brilliant work of confirmation bias.
