i could be wrong of course, but "public sector" usually means citizens.

yes. the military are not considered "public sector workers".

Article:

From librarians to paramedics, to your local headteacher, around 5.4 million people work in the public sector in the UK1.

The latest Office for National Statistics figures, covering December 2018, showed around one in six employed people worked in services or enterprises controlled by government,

people who are not employed by the government work in the private sector.

personally i dont think every jew captured was turned in by their neighbors, i assume the "ss"? pulled most people off the streets themselves.

It may surprise you to learn that the jews did not (and do not) live on the streets. They had homes, and the Gestapo went there to fetch them. A small minority managed to evade that and hide.

We won the war because we were able to outproduce Germany and Hitler kept making crazy strategic blunders, and not listening to his generals.

Hitler's main mistakes were conducting war against too many countries simultaneously (eastern front, western front, Afrika), and only being friends with other totalitarians.
This is inevitable; because totalitarians suppress criticism, they cannot remain grounded in reality.

It's interesting that, in the tweet we're discussing, much of Mao and Stalin's death toll was via letting people starve—not exactly murder, more like wilful negligence.

It's hard to watch that some peoples have not learned these lessons from history. (And I'm sure misrepresenting history does not help.)

Gee, that description sounds familiar...

Terrifying your generals was another big one. The reports he received toward the end of the war were not accurate.

Ooh, just reading Strieber and Kripal's book The Super Natural (2016) and came across this example:

On the very morning
that I started writing about little blue men, Linda Moulton Howe, who is a long
time observer and professional reporter in the field of the paranormal, sent me a
group of three trail camera photographs of what appeared to be a classic garden
gnome, complete with red vest and tall, pointed hat. At first, of course, I
assumed that this was exactly what it was—a garden gnome suspended from a
string.
Work with a photography expert soon told a different story. First, the figure
was blurred and thus moving fast. It wasn't swinging in an arc but walking on
two spindly legs. It was forty-four inches tall, a typical height for all of these
small beings. It had stopped moving forward the moment the camera took its
first picture, then beat a retreat at a high rate of speed. The camera, activated by
movement and heat, takes a photo every second until the movement stops. There
was no evidence that the photo was hoaxed, or that the image on it was anything
known.
