Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

The point is to show she can intentionally and decisively be cruel and mean, especially to an animal under her custody. This is seen as a desirable character trait to Trump's followers.
I mean SS troops had to kill the dog that they raised as a puppy through their entire training to prove their dedication to Hitler.
I think you’re thinking of Game of Thrones and the Unsullied. 😂
(In all seriousness I know this is an urban legend told about many different military organizations around the world. I don’t know if there’s any truth to it.)
No it's real

The linked interview has one(!) offhand comment by Abram de Swaan about the alleged practise. The interview is in part to promote his book “The Killing Compartments: The Mentality of Mass Murder.” which of course features Nazi Germany quite a bit. So I went ahead and downloaded said book. The words 'dog', 'puppy' ,or 'pet' are mentioned zero times in the entirety of the book.
Trying to find the book and more sources for the allegation I came up with nothing else.
While "SS-Troops" (idiotic generalisation in this case) like the SS-Totenkopfverbände did many fucked up thinks and would be fucked up enough to feature the alleged dog killings in their training - there is so far no proof whatsoever.
If this were the case it would be in every other movie about WW2. It's in Kingsmen FFS, where the good guys do this as part of their training.
Sorry, I have to call BS on this one.
Is there a source for this? Not disagreeing, I e just never heard this before.
That’s because it never happened. If it had you’d definitely have heard about it.
By that logic Ea-Nasir didnt sell high quality copper until the rediscovery of his tablets. Obscurity doesnt equal it didnt happen.
You’re comparing apples to Nazis.
ELI5 for the intellectually challenged downvoting this:
Apple: Ea-nāṣir - one random dude c. 1750 BCE.
Nazis: The OG Nazis 1933 - 1945 that murdered millions of people.
The comparison is incredibly stupid. You might just as well liken a speck of dust to a planet.
Some of us have heard about it.

Anyone who willingly wears a badge or military uniform would kill their mother given the order. These symbols are identification showing us exactly who is preventing societal progress.
Combine that with Trump labeling groups he doesn't like as a bunch of animals and it gets even scarier to think that they might join forces.
She tells it like it is. Unfortunately, because of people like her, she's not totally wrong.
