that defintion fails me: all this has been true of many Nazis and SS thugs as well: they were loyal to their Third Reich, devotely loved and supported it and sometimes defended it to their death. but noone would call them patriotic, or? A loyalty maybe is better spend on certain principles and values... :hmm: Many resistance fighters - could be called German patriotists. so, what is the decisive difference...? :hmm:

The country they stand for.
