Well damn, guess that’s why the Nazis are back in full-force: the generation that defeated them last time is nearly gone. Now 1/3 this country is welcoming Nazis with open arms.
Yeah I mean not a statistically significant difference, I just think the assumption set should be as broad as possible as a matter of conservative estimation. We’re trying to show that the living memory footprint is low, which I thought better served by getting the absolute maximum number that could be alive, and it’s still very small.
To have been active at any point in the war, someone would have to be 99. (2026-1945+ 18yrs to be draft age at the end of the war)
Even if there are maga ww2 vets, I doubt many of them are active enough for this.

Even accounting for the many 15 year olds that lied and signed up, they would still be 95-96
There were definitely people under 18 fighting in both world wars.
Sure but even if we drop the age all the way to 13, theyre still 93 years old, and that would be people who only saw combat at the very end.
