Default Erwin Rommel as peacekeeper

A friend posted this on his wall and I thought you had to see and hear this with your own eyes and ears



I frankly don't know what to say.

I liked the part where absolutely no one seemed to know anything about Rommel in the video.

I shouldn't laugh really because I remember asking my kids when they were at school age which side Japan was on during WWII and neither had a clue.

The history of WWII was simply not taught to them at school.

No kidding. History, it seems, is 2 weeks ago, tops, when you were born, if you're a pro DIY historian. I kid you not, some kids here answered Iraq and North Korea when the question was "which nations made up the Axis powers during WW2?". I'm surprised they didn't ask back "whaaah? They used axes in WW2?"

Well, I learnt about WWII in school, so perhaps the problem is that it's taught but no-one is listening.
