[Image description: A heavily edited meme. A picture of classic Captain America (from the comic issue where he punches Hitler) is set next to two flags: the American flag, and a 6-stripe Pride flag. The dialogue caption underneath has been edited to read, "It's time to punch some Nazis! Also gay pride!"]

It's time to punch some Nazis! Also gay pride!

Tony: okay, so we're all on the same page here?

Peter: yeah, but it's the last page of a book called 'I don't know what the fuck I'm doing'

Tony: Great! We're still all on the same page!

Steve: Let's go fight some Nazis!

2023 objectively sucked but it did give us some of the best Captain America comic characterizations so.....you win some you lose some

For, it’s a lonely thing—to be the only masked avenger in a world of ordinary men.

The villianification of women who “are in the way of” queer ships in fandom NEEDS to be stopped.

Because tell me why a fandom space creator I had previously admired told me Peggy Carter is actually a Nazi, and that’s why it doesn’t make sense for Steve to go back in time for her instead of staying with Bucky.

Instead of, you know, the fact that it erased literally all of Agent Carter as canon.

Your regular reminder that Disney's sentient VW Beetle Herbie, and Marvel's Captain America, have the same origin story.

That's a good bathroom door!

Today in 1940, Captain America made his star-spangled debut with a right hook to Hitler's face. Joined by his sidekick Bucky, the first Avenger also fought the Red Skull in Captain America Comics #1 by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby.

What was Captain America's attitude to German soldiers in WWII? Obviously he despised anyone who was actually a Nazi, but what about just ordinary soldiers?

That's a very good question!

Because of who he was, Captain America had an unusally broad experience of WWII compared to other soldiers in the U.S Army.

As a super-soldier and leader of the Invaders, he spearheaded the Allied effort against super-scientists like Zemo and Zola, HYDRA agents like Strucker and the Red Skull, and Nazi super-soldiers like Master Man, Baron Blood, Warrior Woman, U-Man, etc. Moreover, the Marvel Universe version of WWII significantly differs from real-world history in that both American and Russian super-soldiers were involved in the Battle for Berlin that ended with the Human Torch turning his fire on Hitler himself.

As a special forces officer, he served in conventional front-line and behind-the-lines operations (often with the Howling Commandos) in the European theater from Anzio and Monte Cassino to the Normandy landings, Arnheim, the Battle of the Bulge, the crossing of the Rhine, and the liberation of Diebenwald; in the African theater from Tunisia to Wakanda; and even in the Pacific Theater, although there he was mostly doing intelligence and special operations work rather than front-line service.

As the symbol of the American war effort, however, Rogers was dispatched to fronts that American soldiers were usually not engaged in, whether that's fighting with the French Resistance, or being dispatched to the Eastern Front to demonstrate America's commitment to the USSR and counter Nazi super-science and super-soldiers sent to break the stalemate at Stalingrad.

Between his broad wartime experience and his experience with HYDRA sleeper agents after the war, I don't think Steve Rogers is much of a believer in the "myth of the clean Wehrmacht."

At the same time, he's also not a believer that there was something inherent about German culture that made it vulnerable to fascism and Nazism - indeed, Cap is very insistent that fascism can happen anywhere and must be fought everywhere:

Holy shit dude, Peggy haters on this webbed site have the weirdest fucking takes

I mean honestly, talk about willfully ignoring canon to form your own (wrong) opinions about a character...
