There were many attempts to assassinate Hitler during the third reich and most plots originated from within the upper command. This should not be seen as attempts to end fascism and stop the war by killing Hitler. These were attempts to usurp Hitler in order to gain his position and, from the perspective of the plotters, provide more reliable leadership so that the war could be won. Heusinger plotting to kill Hitler is not an implication that he had renounced Nazism nor does it absolve him of his many crimes against humanity. No one like this should ever have even been considered for another position of power in any capacity. Imo, he should have been shot and the fact that he wasn't is a weakness of liberalism
And did you know that Putin would become Shitler? A second rate knock off of Hitler.
Was NATO really built by Nazis?
No. It was built by western states and diplomats. It did however let some Nazis in to the command structure primarily because they had experience fighting the soviets. Both sides of the cold war started recruiting nazis around the 1950s which is why you start seeing tons of books from famous nazi generals about how they absolutely could've beaten the soviets. It was more or less a grift to get paperclipped to America or given an advisor position in a NATO country. The soviets also did this a ton too, the nazis in the warsaw pact just didn't need to sell books to get recruited.
