Frankly Frank (sorry couldn't resist

) as long as the Germans allow others to successfully lay that guilt trip on them that tactic will continue to be used.

Believe me, nobody does that better than we ourselves. Germans are the only real experts in minimizing all german history to the years 33-45. Nobody does it better.

Yeah my cousins are like that sometimes.

I just know that according to the "rules of the playground" self deprecation often just provides ammunition to ones tormentors, or as my father used to put it: "No sense bashing yourself, thats what we have enemies for." That's one reason I'd like to see Germany reinstitute the IC for it's soldiers who have performed heroically.
