Exactly. Now, I understand the talk back then, Japs, Nazis etc. but why keep it
up after all these years? Like CCIP mentions, we've had these conversations before,
but I'll repeat what I said: I'm in no way defending the atrocities committed by
the German army during the WWII or anything like that. I just tend to look things
objectively and to me, calling the WWII-era Germans as Nazis is a slap to the
face o those who simply served their country, some even from 1939 to
the war's end without being in anyway connected to the Nazi party.
IMHO, the regular German soldiers deserve a bit more respect as what
they are getting.
