1. Serbs barely survived communism. Communists ousted serbian royal dynasty, cancelled religion, prohibited Serb refugees from returning to Kosovo, grabed land and factories owned mostly by the Serbs, even replaced Serbian Cyrilic alphabet with Latin alphabet.
2. Why Serbs disslike Germans? Lets see... WWI Serbs lost entire country and were dforced to go to the exile to Greece with entire army, royal family and government. During WWI Serbs lost 25% of entire population.
Second world war, Serbs lost arround 1,000,000 people 700,000 of whome in Jasenovac contrentracion camp.
“Civilised” Germans (And Croates) executed 100 for 1. For each killed german soldier 100 Serbs to be shot, for each wounded 50 Serbs to be shot. For that matter only in Kragujevac 4,000 civillians were executed along with 400 schoolkids.
Year of 1999. Germans came back for more. Germany killing Serbs for 3rd time in 20th century. And they came back with therir old allies, Croates, Albanians and Muslims.
Sad to say, but USA and EU have for friends same nationms that were friends with Hitler and Stalin...
Now, just to explain this. After all, Serbs hate policy of US government, but, dont hate USA.
in the other hand just a word “German” means- “bastard”. And it is an insoult to call someone in Serba “A German”.
For Serbs, Germans are not nation, they are bunch of barbarians untill they proove otherwise.
So far they didnt even bothered.
Ahhh I almost missed those “Fourth Reich marching” “Evil Germans set out to conquer the world - again” threads.
First of all, in the last three decades it weren’t the Germans who gang-raped and slaughtered thousands of people.
Could you say the same for Serbs and Croatians? So please spare me the WW II arguments, they don’t have anything to do with the topic.
The Balkans always were a region with many problems and I admit that is partly due to the fact that many of the more powerful European countries had only their own interests in mind. However, I feel that most of the problems there exist because of the same old difficulties: people with different religions are forced to live together, one people believing to be superior to the other people. I can’t see a way how they could ever live together in peace again in the same state after what happened in the past.
From this thread I only get the impression that the Serbs and their neighbours blame their own failure on the most convenient target: Germany.
What the US is to Western Europe, Germany is to Eastern Europe. Easy to blame if something goes wrong, because everyone knows they won’t bother to answer the accusations, and a good way to ignite nationalistic feelings and win elections.
