The Germans talk about it, hold seminars, write about it and educate their people about it. All the Germans I have met are “aware”.

This is not to say they’re truly sorry for (as my late WWII vet father used to say), “...they’re sorry for one thing only, that they lost” their deeds.

The Japanese are in total denial because after Nagasaki, they’re all “Pacifists”.

Still not aware enough. When a majority polled compare the IDF with the Wehrmacht and believe that Israel is out to exterminate the “Palestinians”, something is quite rotten.

As for Japan, the fact that Issei Sagawa still lives speaks volumes.

As tour director, in the Winter, at an aircraft museum in Florida, I'm aware of how well versed Germans, even teen-agers, are of their country's crimes in WWII. They are also aware of the Berlin Airlift, where American and allied nations helped break the Soviet blockade. I can't speak to the Japanese situation, but I think the Germans are one of our best allies, based on how we are treated by German tourists.
