On previous occasions, we have been accused of relativizing Nazi&#8217;s war-crimes by covering Allied atrocities in the same space, but we argue that for a fact-based reporting on how WW2 impacted the civilian population we need to be complete and unbiased. <\/p>\n<p>The facts speak for themselves, and we document those facts that by providing an exhaustive record with equal coverage of all events and parties. Covering one event doesn&#8217;t relativize or justify the other and vice versa. We will not tolerate any whataboutism in the comments.<\/p>\n<p>We will also not tolerate a justification of these crimes based on pragmatism, or equal proportionality &mdash; on an absolute moral level the goal never justifies the means. In this case we look at our comment section from a 21st century perspective and hold ourselves and anyone using our forums to the modern standards laid down in the laws of war. Explaining, analyzing and discussing war crimes and crimes against humanity is fine, even desired &mdash; celebrating, hailing, or justifying them is not.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World War Two Published 11 Feb 2021 As the winter of 1942 continues, many Soviet civilians suffer under the German Siege of Leningrad.
