Do you think that anti-German sentiment will die out soon?

Mno, Treblinka, Warsaw, plus many, many others. Forgive and forget? Not a chance.

Germans like to chat about "ze evil British Empire and ze crimes zey committed all ova ze verld" So, it's 'okay' to forgive German atrocities yet at the same time condemn a regime which brought civilisation, sanitation and protection to a quarter of the globe? Double standards? Edit: And how do you explain the other 12,000,000?

(That we know of) Oskar Schindler was a profiteerer of Jewish slave labour before he realised just what the Nazi's were doing. It was thanks to his accountant Isaac Stern that Schindler had his crisis of conscience and helped save the lives of the Schindler Jews. The majority of Germany allowed the Nazi's in and did very little or nothing to fight back against them.

The entire German Army, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine didn't refuse to fight for Hitler, they went a long with it under the basis of 'orders' (Murdering innocent lives constitutes as 'orders' eh? No true soldier would ever accept such an order). An American Captain once sarcastically stated that when the war was ending Germany seemed to be the ONLY place in Europe where he couldn't find any 'Nazi's'.

Edit: Schindler did what he did under the pleas of his accountant Isaac Stern, who thankfully took a huge risk in doing so. Many people think it was all Schindler but it wasn't. The point is that you think there was this large group of anti-Nazi Germans when their wasn't.

Schindler didn't begin rescuing the Jews until late 1944, AFTER the Allies had already invaded Hitler's "Fortress Europa" and the war looked lost for Germany. In the meantime he observed the mistreatment of the Jews and, whilst disgusted, did nothing. Try the British 'Schindler' Sir Nicholas Winton who saved 669 Jewish Children on the eve of the war, right when Nazi Germany was at it's strongest, and behind enemy lines.

I don't think every Irishman loves the IRA, don't put words in my mouth. That was what you call a 'comparison', a way of giving an example to clarify my point much easier. Clearly it was a waste of time.

But I know, from having seen your posts in the past that you have made pro-IRA/anti-British postings before. Edit: 77,000? Out of a population of how much?

Precisely. A mere drop in the ocean rather than a swathe of millions in opposition. "Little know groups", "small resistance".

Minor volunteers that do not redeem an entire nation of tens of millions who wholeheartedly gave their backing to Hitler and his goons. If the Wehrmacht really hated Hitler then why did they carry out the orders to persecute and eliminate 'undesirables' and opposition across Europe? Why didn't they simply refuse to fight?

Better yet why didn't THEY refuse to acknowledge the 'Fuhrer' and take up arms against him and the Waffen SS? After all, the purpose of any nations army is to first and foremost protect it's people. With the Nazi's murdering opposition why didn't their commanders step in or at least refuse to send troops into battle?

Simple, because the major majority of the nation and the armed forces were fully behind Hitler because they saw an opportunity to become Emperor's of Europe. I'm sure by now you should have some idea that there are many people in this world who remember what Germany did, that they plunged Europe into a world conflict not once but TWICE and find it very difficult to forgive them. Look at their arrogance in the Eurozone crisis (That they are heavily responsible for, especially the situation in Greece) Some things never change.

They want Germany as the most prosperous nation on the back of other peoples sufferings. Edit: Yes, Germany was 'so reluctant' that once the war began they invaded neutral Belgium as the way to France would have been time consuming and problematic and then sought to crush their rivals quickly whilst expanding their own 'Empire'. Clearly the actions of a reluctant ally.

You're becoming embarrassing now.

I am not anti but I am not pro They have a history and they have an arrogance as a nation which I don't like But I would never be prejudiced against someone because they were German. Also a long time ago I had a jewish friend who spent some of his young childhood in a concentration camp. Just not a fan sorry.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
