Congrats for not getting demonatized! I think the video deserves to stay monetized as it is very neutral and technical. And in my opinion thinks like war crimes always also have a technical side and one needs to analyze it as well...especially if one wants to judge them and emphasize the moral side of it. Crimes never are just a moral abreation. So thumbs up on that.

It's almost impossible to have an objective public discussion on warcrimes, why they happen, and what are their impacts. You can do it in professional context inside the military, in academia, but always in private context where things are much less likely to be misconstrued or impugned for partisan sake. That was a delicately handled video to acknowledge those things happened and they impacted the Wehrmacht.

thanks, yeah, I think the policy is mostly about the emotional and shocking aspect, especially footage and images, whereas the more "abstract" discussions etc. is fine.

yeah, a lot of people always jump to conclusions, don't pay attention to what is actually said, take stuff out of context etc. I remember a private discussion on something completely different, where I noted that something was "natural", now that person - like many - associate with the word "natural" something positive / very positive, completely ignoring that we were walking on a mountain with 21st century equipment and a smartphone - which I consider very unnatural - is not really natural. Natural is also dying from an illness that can be easily "fixed" by modern medicine, I don't consider that "positive".
