Stumbled across this gem produced by the U.S. Army Pictorial Service back when the original Nazi scars were still bleeding.

It talks about the tricks Nazis used to get to power, the tactics of division and suppression they have used, the fate of those who follow Nazi footsteps, and what needs to be done to stop them.

Truly a brilliant piece.

I don't think the Catholic Church will be there this time. From my experience they are infected with nationalist ideology which is full of the same divisive talk seen in the video. It's one of the reasons I left.
