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.

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