I never understood why many Indians support #subhashchandrabose's attempts to form an alliance with Hitler & Mussolini to fight the British in India. Do you think Hitler would have come in, ended British raj and waltzed out with a box of Laddus?

Seriously #Asking. Do explain.
Ok. But you didn't answer my question. There must be a conclusion to your thought process. I am just interested to know what it is.
POLL on #subhashchandrabosejayanti

#Subhaschandrabose tried to ally with Hitler and Mussolini to drive the British out of India.

Do you think if this alliance happened, Hitler would have freed India and then left us in peace?
From declassified M15 documents. #Subhaschandrabose was introduced to Emilie Schenkle in 1934. She was his secretary while he wrote a book. He returned to Germany in 1941 as the Nazis state guest & she was his translator. Nazis trusted her as she was member of their women's wing.
One of the reasons the Nazis hosted Bose was they needed his help to convince the reluctant 40,000 Indian POWs in Germany to fight for Hitler’s cause. (Bose actually convinced them to do so as their "leader" and then abandoned them. See next tweet).

The documentary film "Half Moon Files" is about the terrible fate of 40,000 Indian soldiers forced to fight for the British empire in Africa, that Germany took as POWs & forced them to fight for Hitler! #SubhasChandraBose was party to Hitler's project.
You can watch the documentary film "Half Moon Files" here, about the Indian POWs in Nazi prisons who Subhas Bose convinced to fight for Hitler. fulltv.tv/movies/the-hal…
Just think. Gandhi talked millions of Indian soldiers to fight for the British in WW2. And Subhas Bose convinced Indian soldiers taken POW by the Germans to fight for Hitler. Indian soldiers were made to fight each other on European soil. End of THREAD.

Right. Bose used 45000 Indian POWs taken when Singapore fell to Japan for his Azad hind fauj.

But 40000 Indian POWs in Germany were put into Nazi uniforms by #SubhashChandraBose and used by Hitler.

🚩What kind of a man builds armed forces using POWs?
