Kraut is actually a nasty nick (sorry, my English fails me here and I can't think of the proper word here) -Jerry or Fritz aren't (they were more affectionate)...
I guess people don't realise what it is like to be held responsible or being constantly reminded of a past that has nothing to with them - especially when you show an interest in history, particularly the 30's & 40's (for some people that makes you automatically a Neo). You try living with the 'enemy' for a while - then you might understand the sensitive issue surrounding just one word - there are plenty of uneducated people about (particularly the second and third generation after the war) that really only know one thing about the War and use that in a misguided way - so yes, you get sensitive (fed up, bored) after a while

a bit like 'The final Count-down' then, huh? Now if Hitler had used the
Messerschmidt ME 262 right from day one (rather than let the plans get dusty in some cubboard for a few years) that would have been something...
There are a number of books and films out there with that theme of alternative history going - but very few are anywhere near conceivable...
