Haha, true.
But unluckily not really the point I am trying to make. Sorry if that did not come across well enough.
Hm, how to say this. Look, what the world thinks of Germany and it's contributions after WW2 is one thing, we had this discussion many times and will have in the future, too.
The problem I am talking about is the following...how do you lead a young generation of germans into a way that they can a) be proud of their country and b) do not have to refer to the Nazis to find any sort of praise.
As long as the rest of the world does not stop glorifying german achievements in the name of the Nazis whilst at the same time making the life of contempory and future germans harder.
The account is something like this:
1. Nazis, most evil ppl on the planet, but also highly praised.
2. Modern young Germans, still the most evil ppl on the planet, going by their selective perception of the masses on the internet mostly, but without the praise the Nazis get. Basicly "you suck, but the Wehrmacht rules". This in turn makes a lot of young germans go "ok, so we suck? no, you suck more, pi** of, (insert provocateur of your choice)". Thanks to the internet they grow up with such a perception of themselves and the world alike.
Notice the problem, especially in times of crisis like this?
