You were the free Germany acting for its future and fighting against all the powers of the world allied against her. This is the charm of simulations : make us relive a part of the past.
You're right to be proud of your heritage. The Germans waged a heroic struggle, which will never be forgotten by the future generations. Although they lost the war, the actual state of the world proves that their struggle was not madness but a definite choice to stay the great civilized nation they were.

Thank you, mate. I'm so used to people cringing at the fact I'm German. Unlike much of the world, we here at SubSim realize that not all Germans were Nazis. They weren't bloodthirsty killers. Like the French in the Battle of Paris, like the Red Army at Stalingrad, or the Japanese at Okinawa, each thought of only a few things worth fighting for; country, family, and thier lives. They followed thier orders and never gave up. The numbers tell the story.
I hope you all can make sense of my words.
