American Heroes Channel......WTF?

[ABNAK]

[formerly the Military Channel] WTF is up with their Nazi fetish? I swear, it's Nazi this and Nazi that. I didn't think there were that many shows about Nazis. Gets friggin' old. I'll try to find something to watch while doing cardio early in the morning before work and that's all they have on. Thinking about calling and complaining as well as dropping that channel from my DTV package.

If I called and complained about Nazi shows would that make me a Nazi then, seeing as how I'm sick of watching that crap? You know, if you complain about our all-Nazi 24/7 shit then you must be against anything showing them in a bad light, hence you must be a Nazi too. SMH

It was like that back when it was the History channel was young.
Lots of "World at War" and Nazi footage 24x7.

Simple- it sells. WW2 and the Civil War will always make money.

That’s what I think- and there is a lot of material. Either German or ours. That and they had cool tech, which always makes for good nerd TV.

Sure, but there was LOT of WWII (like half of it) that didn't involve the Nazis. Don't see anywhere near as much on the Pacific war. Besides, we're not talking about D-Day or Battle of the Bulge shows; no it's crap like "Nazis: Evil Empire", "Project Nazi", "Nazis: Evolution of Evil", "Nazi Secret Files", or "Hitler". Almost all of those are redundant series too. Give it a break already, jeez.....I don't two shits about Nazis or their history. Battles? Yeah, that I'll watch. But spare me the recap of their sordid history. I get it already.

The Western Left teaches that anyone religious or with a positive opinion of tradition is a fascist, and therefore two breaths away from rounding up some random minority and putting them into death camps. That's the reason for the aggressively incessant Nazi talk.

"You are a fascist, you just don't realize it yet. Can't you see how similar you are to the people in these documentaries??!! You probably don't think systemic racism is real! See?! That proves it! You're attempting to subvert the social and economic progress of the Western world. You've got renounce this right now or we're going to have to do something we really don't want to do! Our patience with you people is wearing thin!"

By their definition, everyone who posts here is a fascist and needs reeducation. Get it?

If you haven't watched this yet(and/or knew it already) this will give you a whole extra angle on pissed since the channel undoubtedly gloss over Adolph's little helpers.

History Channel was Nazi 24/7 back in the late 90s.

Honestly I'd rather watch that over and over than all the "reality" tv on learning channels. I couldn't care less about street racing or cutting down trees or digging for gold. They're interesting as a one off special or a limited series of X episodes about person or people who do something different or it's in an educational perspective where the viewers learn how something is done. This "reality" tv is crap and not at all interesting.

If I'm having a quiet Sunday I'll put on How it's Made and let that run all day. Much more interesting than DuckAxeAlaskaRacing shows

Agreed. I find it hard not to "binge" watch it. Very interesting shows.

Yep. We have to remember it was the most documented part of that war. Also there is a deep fascination with the subject because of all the bizarre components that went along with it.

But yeah, it is a little unsettling to have shows devoted to Hitler on a channel called "Heroes", not intended but seems off. Still better than Ice Road Truckers.
