See, this is why I try to avoid emphasizing an oppressor’s nationality whenever possible. I don’t want any Germans, Italians, Japanese, Poles, Romanians and so forth reading my content to get the impression that their nationality or ethnicity was somehow the problem and thereby needlessly make them feel uncomfortable. Unless it would cause confusion, I replace mention of an oppressor’s nationality with ‘Fascist’, ‘Imperialist’, ‘Axis’, ‘collaborator’, ‘Herzlian’, ‘anticommunist’… I prefer to remind readers that those are the problem, not their national or ethnic origin.

I also (usually) disapprove of dehumanizing anybody, but that is another rant for another day.
