German media really an enormous amount of energy into making sure we do not draw any comparisons to The Third Reich in the past 3 years. All channels told us this explicitely over and over and over and over and over and over again until we would forget what our teachers taught us over and over and over and over and over and over again.
So I have done just that. We see the mass dying of our elders, are implored to go easy on energy consumption (Kohlenklau) and well, war.
BINGO. How quickly we were made to forget the obvious parallels. Substitute "Covid" for "typhus" and it becomes very clear indeed. And substitute "Gesundheitpas" (health pass) for "vaccine pass" and it becomes even more obvious still.
Careful with those "comparisons". ;)

Some journalists somehow got their will though:

A Déjà-vu of epic proportions.
So true
