My grandmother was one of the people celebrating at that time.
When the Nazis were coming, they were told to burn any English books or magazines they had to avoid suspicion and to pour out any alcohol to stop the Nazis from getting drunk.
She cried when her father burned their precious collection of National Geographic magazines. However, her mother hid one bottle of liquor under the laundry basket.
I am touched when my grandmother tells me the story of how when the Nazis finally lost, they cracked open the bottle and her parents celebrated like these people.

This quote from Austin Powers covers everyone discussed in the pic: “There are only two things I can’t stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures, and the Dutch.”
The south of the Netherlands had been liberated by the Allies in 1944 but the north was still under Nazi occupation at the time of Hitler’s death. 20,000 Dutch people died in a famine caused by that final winter under occupation.
> The famine was alleviated first by “Swedish bread” flour shipped in from Sweden to Dutch harbours, and subsequently by the airlift of food by the Royal Air Force, the Royal Canadian Air Force, and the United States Army Air Forces – after an agreement with the occupying Germans that if the Germans did not shoot at the mercy flights, the Allies would not bomb the German positions.
Imagine how cathartic it must have been, in that moment, to learn that his cause of death was suicide.
He could’ve been shelled while trying to escape Berlin, or shot by the Red Army while being dragged out of a drainage ditch, and it would’ve been great to hear.
But *suicide*? Knowing he died in absolute and inescapable failure, shame, and hopelessness? To be so totally broken and defeated he chose to blow his brains out rather than stand trial and rant at his enemies about their cruelty and inhumanity?
Man, I’d start jerking off in front of my mom if I were them, a long with the rest of my family, *because we fucking earned it*

I can think of few people in the headlines now I would celebrate like this to hear the same news about.
This literally looks like the shit I see posted on r/weirddalle
Pretty sure that’s Thunderf00t’s Gran on the right….
I thought they all heard a dad joke
I’m guessing there’ll be similar hilarity when Satanyahu dissipates!
Me when Trump and McConnell kick it.
Grandma had a little something stashed away alright
Do you think they started singing that song about Hitlers ball? That’s a catchy tune.
and on the other side of spectrum:

Truly the best thing Hitler ever did was kill Hitler.
Fuck a Nazi then and fuck a Nazi now. Cowardly pieces of shit.

Meirl when I hear about Netanyahu’s death
This picture is about weed? Isn’t it?
All the women in this picture were pregnant the day after. ^_^
Putin, you’re up
Wonder how many babies were made in that joint that night.
Seven heroes, pure joy.
Thanks for posting!
