I, for one, will never forgive the Germans or trust them. As far as I know, the Germans have never asked the world’s forgiveness or apologized. They still owe the civilized world, basically the Allies, bigtime.
Actor Charles Durning, having already been wounded at D-Day, had returned to action and was captured at Malmedy, barely escaping.

A head of government on his knees at a memorial, and billions of dollars paid in reparations.
What would you suggest the German government or people do further?
You are aware this is exactly the same argument used to make white Americans eternally guilty for the past sins of other white Americans against black people, aren’t you?
Also, by this argument, maybe the Jews should be held responsible for the murder of Jesus Christ.
Every nation has a minority quite willing to do government-sponsored, sadistic, SS-like work. The Russians had their Bolsheviks, for example. It is the duty of all good people to prevent a fascist minority from taking power.
What many on the left cannot understand is that their intolerance breeds fascism.
In the past, the Germans have been both arrogant and quite willing to an accept authoritarian leader (the Kaiser, the Fuhrer). That's a bad combination. The Japanese were the same way.
Let's hope things have changed.
Thank you for enlightening me
I had no idea.

Ah, the difference is, the Nazis haven’t all died yet. And their children are first generation. I guess it is so fresh.
There is truth to your response, I do acknowledge that.
The Sand Creek Massacre is remembered, out of the many hundreds of battles with the Indians, because US troops indulged in atrocities to a degree roughly comparable to the normal practices of "the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions." To quote the Declaration of Independence.
IOW, at Sand Creek the Army did what (most of) the Indians always did. Actually less than, since even Chivington didn't haul away prisoners for later leisurely torture.
Thanks.
OTOH, Jim Crow was live and active and still killing people more recently than WWII.
Exactly. Instead of looking for some ethnic, nationality, or racial commonality to the evil doings of people in history, look at their political bent, always leftist, totalitarian.
Yeah and antisemitism still pervades Europe too
True.
It is, however, NOT the anti-semitism of Tsarist Russia, based on a supposedly Christian POV, or of the Nazis, based on supposed racial criteria.
It is almost exclusively leftist and Muslim in origin.
Lumping it in with earlier versions to say “Europe is still anti-semitic” seems to me to be a categorization error. Posits a line of descent where none exists.
And it really has to be said. Today's leftists are very much like the National Socialists and the Bolsheviks of old. Today's leftists shout down their opposition, and demonize their enemies. Conservatives are not just wrong. They are evil racists. Enemies of the people, in other words.
Even here.
No shortage at Waco. No shortage when the only alien clinton hated - Elián González - was deported at gunpoint. No shortage at the Bundy ranch. No shortage at the IRS. No shortage at the EPA...
Yeah. I’ve even worked with a former Hitler Youth. Pretty normal guy unless WWII or Jews came up in the conversation...
OMG
creepy
“Let’s hope things have changed.”
They haven’t. The names change but they’re still attached to humans and humans are infinitely fallible. All these atrocities will happen again... and again... and again, ad infinitum.
