The Second Reich was really puke. Just another antisocialist piss bucket whose history has been, conveniently, largely forgotten by modern anticommies.
‘In 1918 Germany annexed huge tracts of territory from the Russian Empire, taking direct control of almost all its coal mines, three-quarters of its iron ore, half its industry, and a third of its rail system. An increasingly anti-Slavic ideology added a racial dimension to this imperial expansion. Generals Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff wanted not only to control the resources of Eastern Europe, but also to subdue the region’s Slavic nationalities, settle Germans there, and create a “frontier wall of ‘physically and mentally healthy human beings.”’ First in Poland then later further east, the German army commandeered forced labor, deported thousands of Slavic workers, and monitored the local population through registration and identity cards.’
Not to mention that WW1 was literally just squabbling over spheres of influence for export of finance capital and resource exploitation, lmao. The Germans have nothing to proud of even in that period.
