How To Avoid Reblogging The Nazi Antarctic Expedition

How to avoid reblogging the Nazi Antarctic Expedition

There are posts on this site which use images and video from the Third German Antarctic Expedition (1938-1939), the most popular of these having over 22k notes.

Example:

The expedition was on the order of Hermann Göring and aimed to claim part of Antarctica for Nazi Germany, so that its fishing and whaling resources could be used by the Reich. Its logo featured a swastika and it was supported by the Nazi regime.

Additionally, members of this expedition were also members of the German armed forces during WW2. It is important to remember that Nazi Germany's war crimes were not only committed by the SS, but all members of the armed forces committed them and/or were complicit, whether they joined voluntarily or were conscripted.

Therefore, you hopefully do not want to reblog content about it without realising what it is. But how can you tell?

This is mostly concentrated on the posts of one user, but here are some things to look out for:

- anything tagged with "schwabenland" or "Third German Antarctic Expedition".

- anything mentioning that the expedition pictured took place between 1938-1939

- if there is no information, and you can't identify the expedition pictured, consider a reverse image search and/or not reblogging

- don't engage with these posts/blogs in future and if u see a beloved mutual reblogging one of these posts without realising, consider sending a DM to let them know.
