The Controversial Art of Herbert Smagon

Historic art by Herbert Smagon. Rather graphic, but then so is war. Suggest over 16's only. Unfortunately I don't know how to apply it.

I noticed how there are no paintings of concentration camps or of gas chambers. Nor did this man paint London and coventry ablaze. He didnt even paint about the 22 million russians who died. No only poor blonde good looking heroic Germans were to this mans taste. There were 50 million victims of this war of many different creeds. Humanty was the victim. No one set of people has the right to claim that they are more deserving of respect and sympathy than another.

@steveos111 I'm glad that you noticed that there were other victims of WWII. Most people today are educated to believe that there were only 6 million. I agree wholeheartedly with your saying that no one set of people has the right to claim that they are more deserving of respect and sympathy than another. I don't believe that this is the case here though, but do you really begrudge a German from pointing out that Germans were victims too?

@steveos111 do u really think the indians of the western plains during the westward hoe and manifest destiny were more deserving of the land that today provides rich natural gas and oil reserves? do u want central air or tepees?

AVATAR was another stab at superiority and favoring the barbarians which live short stupid brutish lives - in fact the non-natural death rate (war) of tribal types in the 20th century was 5 times worse than europe EVEN counting the world wars...

@steveos111 and i'd have to disagree with your idea of equal respect and sympathy - germany has had a 6 point IQ advantage over russia in recent years...

compare the ANGLO-ZULU WAR in southern africa... that IQ gap might have been 30 points or more...

i favor the elite, the superior - sadly in mass army conflicts the germans were outnumbered... germany has had the highest IQ in europe, some of which can be attributed to sterilizing half of one percent during the reich...

@steveos111 its a welcome balance and about time... the nazis have been so demonized that any german suffering in the war has been overlooked, trivialized and treated as deserved in completion, with some lip service paid Dresden at least...

4:35 the russians were huge rapos, germans have virtually none of this war method history by comparison - Berlin was especially raped

- germany thought it deserved to get its pre WWI land back, just as france, england & russia had their empires

@sivansuresh2008 My bad. As an American, I have a tendency to assume the absolute misnomer handed out by the very ignorant Christopher Columbus. No offense is intended, of course.

@EvilsOfFeminism I am from India. I am not red indian :)

@Theakker3B World already knows what happened to russians and jews. We didn't know anything about germans who were victimised by russians and americans. I am from India. 2 million rapes of berlin women, bombing of dresden and ethnic cleaning of germans are not mentioned in our world history books. I learned it from internet.
