You were economically valuable as a workforce and a useful bulwark against the Soviets. Nothing more. To this day the first thing any European thinks about when meeting a German is what you people did. It may not be right, it may not be just, and we would certainly not mention it your face, but when the rest of us see you the first thing we see is the monster and it is clear from recent events that the monster still exists. It might have been better, for the sake of decency and civilisation, to have let Stalin have his way. The rot appears to be inherent in you.
