And not too long ago either. The world is full of murderous dictators but the Germans were on another and altogether unique level. We forget that at our peril. The Germans committed the most monstrous crimes in humanity's history and despite the few dimwits and conspiracy nuts who deny this Europe still remembers what happens, that is why no European can ever meet a German without immediately thinking of Auschwitz. The Krauts are tolerated but they are a long way from forgiven. To the rest of if Europe they are still dangerous animals, we just don't mention it to their faces.
Time for DrBob to get up to date. Today, when most Europeans meet a German they think of Audi, BMW, Mercedes, FC Bayern Munich and the October Beer Fest. Many have moved there or plan to do so to find a well-paid job.
It's tragic that DrBob fails to understand that it's his very own "never forget, never forgive, keep the dangerous animals down" thinking that led to the rise of the nazis with all it's ghastly horrors. It was this thinking that led to the punitive reparations against Germany after WW1 which collapsed German industry and caused hyperinflation and mass unemployment and poverty. It was these extreme conditions
which led to the otherwise unthinkable rise of extreme fascism in a civilized country. Today Germany is one of Israel's staunchest supporters and has friendly relations with Poland (after Chancellor Brandt literally kneed down before them.)
If even Israel and Poland can today live in mutual trust and respect with Germany, why can't DrBob?
