According to the official Minions Movie, the Minions:
Assisted Napoleon in invading most of Europe, and racking up a total death count of around 3 Million
Assisted Genghis Khan in invading just about all of China and racking up a total death count of roughly 40 Million people
Plus that of the T Rex, Caveman, Pharaoh, King, Captain, and Dracula
So we know for a fact they took part in 43 Million deaths
Not to mention they also killed all of their former masters, so add them to the total
But this also implies there is a strong chance the Minions are going to kill Gru
Conclusion:
Minions are bloodthirsty monsters that should not be glorified in any way
i feel like rather than neatly sidestepping the whole nazi issue, saying that they were sealed away during that era is a tacit admission that had they not been, the minions absolutely would have been involved in the holocaust in some capacity
The Despicable Me universe is like the Cars universe, it’s scarier the more you think about it.

In particular: when the country was liberated from Japanese colonial rule, the Koreans rushed to recover self-governance. The Korean People’s Republic was formed, anchored in thousands of popular people’s committees of resistance and self-governance: these were popular, democratic, nationalist, and socialist in orientation, and they started to effectively administer the country, redistributing property and collectivizing workplaces. The US Army Military Government in Korea took an immediate exception to this state of affairs, noting that Korea had the infrastructure and framework that would allow “communism to get off to a better start than anywhere else in world”. The response was to outlaw the people’s committees and the KPR, and imprison its leaders. Just for good measure, they also put back in place the entire apparatus of Japanese colonial rule: the collaborators, the constabulary forces, the prison guards, the army, judges, prosecutors, bureaucrats: a government of the venal, the brutal, the vicious, and the corrupt. They also crushed popular resistance with tanks and bayonets—in one instance during the October 1946 revolt—killing 300, wounding 26,000 and arresting 15,000; and prevented the holding of nation-wide elections, as mandated by the conditions of the trusteeship. Instead, against massive protest, they organized elections in the South, installing a puppet, Syngman Rhee, a Princeton-stained sycophant, a man whose main credentials were his rabid anti-communism, his ruthlessness, his obstinacy and his willingness to do the bidding of his Imperial masters.
The psychopathic Rhee was to instigate another type of gash, this time in the literal soil of Korea: “I can handle the Communists… With bulldozers we will dig huge excavations and trenches, and fill them with Communists. Then cover them over. And they will really be underground.”
Rhee literally went on to make good on his promise, extirpating “communists” by the tens of thousands in just this manner. Coaxed to identify themselves, in exchange for amnesty, or forced to sign up simply to fill quotas, over two hundred thousand innocents were killed in the Bodo league massacres, lined up and shot in a few short weeks of summer, and dumped into huge trenches dug by excavators exactly as Rhee had proposed, with the US military documenting, and enabling these atrocities. The scale, speed, and scope of these massacres is unparalleled in modern history, placing Syngman Rhee, in contention as one of the worst genocidaires of the 20th century.
These numbers themselves were later dwarfed by the holocaust of the Korean War itself, that Rhee pushed and pulled for—some say instigated– and prolonged, at the behest of the US. By the end of the searing, scorching, genocidal war, five million–one out of five–Koreans were dead, one out of three families separated, the peninsula rendered a veritable moonscape, and the scars of division still fester with a horror so huge that memory itself balks at its charge.

T: Obviously we’re all still reeling from the terrible events of January 7th. J: Oh, right, the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris. T: Oh…well, that too. But I was actually talking about the Baga and Dora Baga massacres in Nigeria.

"The killing of 17 victims in 3 despicable terrorist acts this week prompted a unity march of 1.5 million people including 40 world leaders in Paris. Well done.
Maybe it’s just me but did anyone else hear about Nigeria? 2000 civilians including women and children were massacred by terrorists this week.
Can somebody tell me why nobody is marching for those victims? Any world leaders planning a trip to Lagos or Abuja this week? Too busy? Bad flight connections? Just asking. Imagine the statement we could make.”
