...the Strange Maps blog has a few remarks on the fall of Nazi Germany. Apparently, this is going to be the 75th anniversary of the end of that moral dumpster fire of a regime in the next few days. That anniversary landing as it has in the middle of other dumpster fires in progress right now...that timing is not something I'm happy about, but here we are anyway.
We got the beginnings of the European Union out of it, and out of the First Cold War that followed. So there's that bit of not only salvage work, but rehabilitation. Ditto, the United Nations, flaws and all. A real systematization of international law, human rights advances, and on it goes. The people who started that war would have preferred that such consequences had never come to pass, so may they still rot in whatever afterlives might host them now.
