I feel like we're implying some pro-nazi sympathies in amateur history buffs here, but really I think amateur history buffs in general are just terrible at understanding history in any way beyond reciting a bunch of numbers and factoids.

Oh, to be clear, I'm not trying to imply that an interest in history is a red flag. I'm just poking at the specific people who claim to be interested, but their interest mysteriously doesn't extend past the Wehrmacht.

They'll be quick to tell you that a specific Tiger crew killed so-and-so many T-34s at Kursk, but you ask them why the German tactical and strategic goals went unfulfilled at Kursk and they clam up or start muttering something about hordes with more men than ammo.
