No, I don´t see a trend.

1. raise of German nationalism in the 19th century, directed by the people against the royals.
2. raise of German nationalism in the early 20th century, directed by the Kaiser against the foreign.
3. 1914- beginning of WWI, all European nations welcomed the new war, giving a new generation the opportunity to fight for their nations (royals). During the war, combat did not take place on German soil.
4. 1920- Versailles Treaty leads to an economic disaster for Germany, takes 1/4 of its former size, gives Alsace-Lothringen to France.
5. End of 1920´s/1930´s - Raise of German Nationalism directed against France and the other members of the "Entente cordiale", worldwide economic recession, leading to high unemployment: Hitler becomes Chancellor.
6. 1945- Germany, after a horrible war which destroyed Europe, is completly down, occupied by 4 powers.
7. 1945-2003 there is no such thing like German nationalism, democracy was successfully established, Germany has become a respected member in the league of free nations.

So what about your claim to bomb Germany now?
