Why do Nazi's always talk about Vikings

[FidelCastro]

The Nazi's give a gad rep to the Viking religion. Thor and Odin are cool gods in a sence but Nazi's go all Hitler when they are talked about and the Stormfront symbol is Odin's cross. Why do they do this?

[Rockfan]

I think they belive that they were the first members of the Aryan race. Many Nazi propaganda posters have pictures of Vikings along with Nazi troops.

[Non-Sectarian Bastard!]

The point is that the nazi's believe that the aryan race is coming forth out of the "Nordic" race. Thus they think it's really cool and manly to play around with mythology of the ancient Scandinavian cultures. Put on top of that their power complex, a desire to be seen as strong warriors and you get vikings.

i wonder what the vikings would think of their culture and religion being abused by a bunch of brainless bigots?

Well....weren't the Vikings mindless, pillagers anyways?

Fascists usually find inspiration in "glourious past" of their nation. Another example are Italian fascists who were obsessed with Roman empire.

Common myth.

If I remember correctly, it is now pretty much proved that the Viking invaders actually settled in the North of England. I believe DNA tests were done on people from somewhere up North and these tests showed a higher than average amount of "Viking genetic characteristics."

Yes, they set sail, landed, burned raped pillaged and killed then went home.

Nordicists and white supremacists believe that the Germanic tribes conquered the native tribes of Europe and became the rightful rulers of Europe, IIRC. They use religion, as most fascist do, as a means to spread their ideology.

They had quite a number of trading settlements in Ireland and Britain (including one Dublin). These were primarily intended as trading and raiding bases however. The Vikings were not peaceful farmers. We have many ruined monasteries to prove that.

vikings also founded the city of kiev, capital of the ukraine, also capital of russia before moscow took over. Vikings traded with muslim cultures and the king of byzantium also had a personal guard made up of vikings. The Normans are descended from vikings and were the last people to succesfully invade and occupy england. Most english have more than their fair share of viking blood.

They also lived in greenland and north america centuries before most western europeans even knew it existed.

The Vikings used to kick everyones ass.
White Supremacists feel real proud of that, their like " Look at my kick ass people!"

Hitler had a big thing for history, myths and legends one of his favourates being King Arthur to the extent he had a huge round table in a chamber for his top 12 ss officers, but he himself would never sit at the table being superstitious (sorry if spealt wrong) he belived that there being 12 sitting if he sat there would be 13 being unlucky

[FidelCastro]

They got as far as Dublin? .....I thought they never moved past the East of the North of England if you get what I mean.

Back then I imagine successfully travelling round Britain, either round the North or round the South would have been extremely difficult and I didn't realise that Viking ships were that advanced.

Well no invaders are "peaceful." It's probably one of those "laws of nature" that by default an invading force is oppressive to the general population.

However there is a common myth that the Vikings were just "barbarian savages." When in reality they were reality advanced and all the present evidence points to the fact that they settled and stayed in British towns.

I wouldn't however rule out completely that they may have slaughtered most, if not all of the population of the towns they settled in. However I don't know if there is any historical evidence pointing to this possibility.

Evidence shows the vikings probably got to North America, the eastern coast of the U.S., becuase its been found there are viking style homes, and Native American tribes have viking coins and artifacts showing they traded

I know they sailed right around Ireland at least, founding a number of settlements as they went. These were established as either winter ports or to allow more inland raiding. I believe that the Vikings actually ranged far further to the south and had contact with both the Franks and Moors.

There is plenty of historical evidence that Viking raiding parties were especially brutal. Ireland, with its extremely wealthy monasteries and churches, drew the Viking raiders like moths to a candle. There are a number of accounts of the inhabitants of these monasteries (at the time the only real urban centres in Ireland) being slaughtered.

I fully agree. The stereotypical Viking is most likely complete fiction. The Vikings were quite advanced for their time, as their considerable influence on Northern European history shows.

[norwegian commie]

hell yeah, skandinavians is a superior race and shold rule the world!
just another evidence of what they can do!!!
BULLSHIT os course :lol: :lol: :blink:
