Michael Gloss, 21, was the son of CIA Deputy Director for Digital Innovation Julianne Gallina Gloss, and Iraq war veteran Larry Gloss.
Before arriving in Russia on August 13, 2023, Gloss was travelling around Europe. On his Vkontakte page bio, he wrote: "I ran away from home (and) traveled the world. I hate fascism."
On April 4, 2024, he was killed, likely during a Russian offensive near Bakhmut, however, his burial in the U.S. did not take place until December 2024, Important Stories reports.

As always, the root villain is engagement-driven social media.
I recognise one of those names: Hans Speidel was part of the plot to assassinate Hitler (by detonating a briefcase explosive), and was later arrested by the Gestapo. He also famously didn’t relay Hitler’s orders to bombard Paris with V1 and V2 rockets to his superior.
I can kind of understand why someone like him led NATO forces.
Don’t know about the rest of them though.
Yes, and there were plenty of high level Nazi who rose to power in East Germany..... Just because Vincenz Müller was chief of staff for the east German army doesn't mean the Soviets were an evolution of the Nazi state.
It just means that both sides utilized Germans to deter or lead a conflict that was likely going to take place in Germany, and that pretty much all Germans with military or political experience post WW2 were at some point Nazi.
I'm gonna need sources for that chief or else you're just spreading tankie propaganda
…So?
Poking through some of their history (Ernst and Karl), looks like they were indeed Nazi commanders. They served lower ranks after the war, got more education/experience and rose again to perform well within NATO.
Maybe I'm naive, but I believe horrible people can go on to do good things, and that’s fine. I think my favorite character archetype for this is General Iroh in Avatar, who was involved in unspeakable genocide, changed, and ultimately toppled his own dynasty. He’s one of the most beloved characters in fiction, but a quick bio of his in an image would get him utterly crucified as a terrible human being.
Hence drive by image posts kinda like this without context/history, on the other hand, largely provoke outrage. It’s exactly the kind of thing that would trend on the Twitter algorithm and obliterate any nuance. That’s not necessarily your intent, but it’s kinda the aggregate effect.
My goodness.
I searched the first guy up. He was only Chief of (General) Staff for a month in acting, during which he got blown up sitting next to Hitler during the assassination plot. Before that, he was the Operations Chief, but the High Command for the Army had little control as Hitler made it bureaucratically compete with the High Command for the Wehrmacht (combined armed forces) so that he was the one in command. The German Army also didn't include the Waffen-SS, the forces that carried out the atrocities. And you're including a (famous but) normal pilot on that list as example of Nazi infiltration by #3?
