Proof of the indomitable human spirit.

- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

What lmao
Who is going to throw things at American things in 1943 in germany? Nazis.
Spoilers : Nazis are bad. The Nazis are bad because they are authoritarian. There are many authoritarian led countries in the world today. So many, that it is exhausting.
In the past, maybe it would have been edgy fun to think of heroes from the "enemy side". There are too many today, so trying to find hope and heros in Nazis is not fun anymore.
Does a nazi putting a gun to your head and telling you to work making ammunition makes you a nazi? Because that's what happened. Forced conscription happened. The world isn't black and white. Allies committed war crimes too. There were good people forced into bad situations too.
The only way this makes them the good guys is if the note means they sabotaged the bomb making. Everything else surrounding it is horrid.
EDIT : The text can be interpreted as either : "We sabotaged the bombs for you" or "we don't have explosives to put in the bombs". From my understanding, it could go either way.
It's very obviously "we sabotaged the bombs."
in this awful world full of propaganda on all sides, I can't tell anymore.
Honestly, you need to take a step back and help yourself here. Either recognize that your interpretation of reality is skewed and/or you’re just not intelligent. Either way, adjust accordingly.
Basic knowledge of history / how the war went would show you that it is "we sabotaged the bombs because we have a gun to our heads and cannot do more".
You may want to invest in some basic literacy
Maybe there's more nuance to the world.
