It’s a short story about a Nazi soldier with a time machine stumbling on the Ukrainian advance and thinking, great, he finally gets to kill some more Slavs and win this time.
It’s just not a good look, and there wasn’t a hint of mockery unless you go five tiers deep in community meta irony poisoning that still just leaves you with a comment favorably comparing Ukrainians to Nazis.
oh, I read it as the stupid nazi being stupid and thinking Germany won. the punchline being that as soon as he goes into the train he’ll realize how wrong he is and have a breakdown.
You read it correctly but I’m hoping he rides the train with his newfound comrades. He doesn’t understand the language but he knows who they are fighting. He marvels at screens and drones as he makes it to the front line. Then dies valiantly fighting fascism.
