Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Your comment:
This is ironic. Imho, it speaks directly to the fact that in Germany, nothing has changed in nearly a century.
And My comment: What would be the similarity between the Germany of WWI and now?
2016 minus a century equals 1916.....World War I, lasted from 1914 to 1918.
The cherry-picking is telling. I wrote “nearly a century.”
