German irritation over British bomber memorial

Okay, for the last 10 years or so I have only been lurking, rarely posting except for some photos of a type XXI, but this topic actually draws a reply from me:

I am german and I am not upset about this memorial. Ancient history and I quite frankly could not care less, as long as the brave pilots are the focus, and not the terror bombing campaign. Go ahead, build all the memorials you want, for all I care.

One thing that DOES come to mind however, is how upset many Brits reacted, when there where plans to build a memorial for the rocketeers in Peenemünde. If you want to google it: I think it was in 92 and 94.

(And bevore some Sherlock here mentiones it: Yes, the "Join date" says "jun 2009". This is not my first account. If you only log in every few years, literally, it becomse kinda hard to memorize passwords...)
