Sieger,
WWII was a long time ago and it has often been said the history is written by the victors. The German leadership in WWII was an atrocity, but that does not necessarily reflect on present day Germany, any more than the present US leadership is a measure of the hearts and minds of many of us. We have some very knowledgeable and honorable German members of the forum and perhaps we should consider only what is right or wrong with the current "politically correct" fervor that grips many nations and not dwell upon the past. I would really hate to have the insensitivity and decisions of our current leadership be attributed to all US citizens because of past victories won by our forefathers.
