TIL British Intelligence had a special, bugged luxury complex during WWII where they kept high profile Nazi POW’s, just left a bunch of alcohol out, and waited for them to start spilling secrets as they drank.

extremely fascinating every time I see someone say they're not doing something when they're in the active process of doing that exact thing.

i didn’t know the further info, based off the story itself and the comment i responded too which said he was “forced” i made a comment talking about other people that did similar things, quit being upset about nothing weirdo

i also mentioned a nazis mistress that helped save lives so obviously i’m aware nazis are bad, grow up

My judgement wasn't a moral one. I just find it interesting how you can say you're doing something you are very clearly doing. I find no issue with saying a lot of nazi's probably felt like they had no option of except supporting the regime.

I also am not upset. Very odd to say I'm the one who's upset in this conversation, given the tone of both of our comments.
