You think 10 years have changed anything?

The only thing 10 years has done is that most of those who were of fighting age have passed.

The situation in East Europe was much different from West Europe. Those from Eastern nations suffered far more than Western Europeans. For that reason, I expect more time will be needed for Eastern Europeans to put the past behind them.

You see, it's not a problem for me actually. I'm 32 years old, so it doesn't touch me personally. But I just wonder, if the ally veterans really wished to have such a guest.

Yesterday I read an article about a German sodier called at that time "The Beast of Omaha Beach". With his machine gun he killed on the D-Day about 3000-5000 GI's (biggest number during WW2 - as far as individual soldier is concerned).

He was also invited to the ceremnoy and I just can't imagine how it's going to look like, when he meets friends of those people, wo he had killed.
