His point is clear....most journalists and political figures in Germany today want German history to start in 1932, hype on the Nazi front (lasting only 12 years), then talk about all the wonderful things that came out of the 1960s and 1970s. So they skip over the Roman Empire, Karl the Great, the Thirty Years War, Kaiser Wilhelm I/II, and a thousand pages of fascinating history.
Go look at the integration books being used for migrant classes for those coming into the country. There’s a 200 page booklet used, with about 60 pages dealing with German history. Virtually all of the 60 pages go from 1932 to present-day Germany.
...and nothing about the Holy Roman Empire. It’s as if history is illegal.
Thanks...you understand his point. Merkel and her crew of Haters of Western Civilization have their counterparts in America who want us to forget our history and the principles our Constitution is based upon.
