To be fair the war criminals (Except Oliver Armstrong) explicitly stated goal is to move the country to a place where they are tried and executed for war crimes. That’s not to say it’s good, but I think it is more nuanced than that.
Of course it’s more nuanced than that, that’s how you get away with making a thirty hour long story on the premise of “The Nazis are very contrite actually.”
It’s a great anime, but it’s also a great example of how we’re locked in to a worldwide culture of imperialist violence.
