No. I understand the desire to define these guys as “antifa” but no. That IS NOT what they are. They are freedom fighters fighting against a fascist system, but to try to call them “antifa” to try to garner support is an obvious ploy to try to help legitimize a group that doesnt even resemble the American armed forces fighting againt fascist leaders in the European theater in 1940s.
No this is not a picture of “Antifa” members, and I dont think they would appreciate you labeling them as such.
Jim, antifa just means anti FA or anti-fascist. These soldiers were against Nazis and fought them which makes them anti-fascists and therefore AntiFa. Now they might not label themselves as such were they alive nor were all of them leftists, but that doesn’t take away the fact that they were in fact Antifa.
ANTIFA, 1944, colorized (sort of)
That’s just band of brothers… Great show btw.

You know what the “fa” in antifa means right?
Hint: it’s in your text I just quoted.
