TBF that is quite obviously a German soldier based on the tin hat. And tbh, a CEO of 3 billion dollar orgs shouldn't really be making that mistake.

Do you have a partner? Do you reply like that to them as well or just when you're upset online?
It's OK to not know the difference in soldiers appearance. Not everyone can work these things out.
So you're trying to tell me that helmet is a widely recognised and super obvious symbol from Nazi Germany, up there with the Swastika and The hitler Moustache. That anyone who sees that style of helmet would instantly associate it with Nazi Germany and nothing else.
Just because you have a poor History education doesn't mean you need to drag us down to your level?

Lol
You know someone is about to make a fool of themselves when they write "so you're saying..."

Weirdo on the internet thinks I would talk to him the same way I would to my partner.
Look i get it, certain people on the forums spend their time studying the uniforms of Nazi Soldier, I'm assuming because they are a fan of it or something.
So in your history class they made you play spot the difference between the helmets of WW2 soldiers.
you went to one strange school

Exactly.
It's like he's proud that he doesn't know something so obvious.
Do you think he can't tell the difference between an afghan fighter and a British one? How low is his knowledge on the subject.
And the crazy thing is, where did he think the photo was from. It was clearly world war.
If you didn't know which team that trooper was fighting for due to poor education, you could take a guess and get it right 80 percent of the time.
Soldato
I like how you've decided that education doesn't continue the minute you leave school.
Very telling. You're putting what's happened to you, onto others.
In the real world however...
It's funny how excitable you've got over a photo of a German soldier. If you have a partner go see to them and use this excitement for good

Uniforms of WW2 was like a whole module. It is how we learnt about trench foot, Hugo Boss etc. etc.
Like I said, don't drag us down to your level. Ignorance isn't bliss.

The one great thing about this, is that you'll never see the other daddy elon defenders replying to this user and setting them straight, because they can never disagree publically.
Internally they will be laughing at his posts, but publically they can never share that.
You see it every time - as the likes start showing up on one another's posts.
Then the complaints to the mods come and dowie stops quoting people so he doesn't get a "deleting quoted post" thing. It is one less than 2D chess.

You are pretending to be outraged though, right? You aren't genuinely offended? Though either is bad
Never said that. Your hallucinating mate, probably from your own gas.
Though I do wonder why you decided that of all the human knowledge to learn once you left school, learning more about Nazi uniforms was the one that called to you.
I think you quoted the wrong person mate. The only people getting excited are those pretending that they recognised that as a german soldier.
I am bored of pretending now. Lets be honest, some person whose into their history probably noticed that it was a german soldier and pointed out, a group of people decided to jump on that because Elon Bad. Now they need to pretend like the could recognise that is was a nazi soldier any day of the week.

My school decided to focus on the crimes that were committed rather than what they wear wearing when they did it. Different priorities I guess.
Fair enough. Can you identify a Spitfire versus a Messerschmitt or did you miss that bit too?My school decided to focus on the crimes that were committed rather than what they wear wearing when they did it. Different priorities I guess.
