    See @jerdle_lemmy@lemmy.world’s comment below

    No. No it wasn’t. Antifaschistische Aktion was a paramilitary wing of the communists, fighting both the social democratic Iron Front and the Nazi Sturmabteilung.

    The only way in which it could be said to be allied with the Nazis is that both of them opposed the social democrats, but the enemy of your enemy is not in fact your friend. The KPD saw both the SPD and the NSDAP as fascists, rather than in any way allying with the NSDAP against the SPD.

    edit: shit, sorry, idk how that happened, this was meant to be a response to a different comment!

      Eh now that I think about it, Hitler was one of the best Anti Fascist advocates whoever lived. I mean he did end his career by killing the Fuhrer of Nazi Germany…

          The reason Adolf Hitler shot himself in a bunker, is because everyone has some good in their heart… Actually it’s because he was losing the war and he was afraid of what the allies were going to do to him, but It’s fun to be snarky.
