I’m a baby boomer. Also an army brat.
Half my friends back then had moms from Germany.
And why not?
My wife is German descent and she is an extreme type “A” who gets things done, where I’m a MN Scandinavian and very laid back... complete opposites but it works well.
IF that’s what you want. However, as my father fought the
Krauts in N. Africa, Italy & Germany in WWII; there is NO
WAY I would have brought home one of them and rammed them
down his throat. - My SIL is a German & you do not tell her
ANYTHING. She already KNOWS IT ALL & you are just a stupid
American. My BIL is neutered and she wears the britches
‘cause SHE is SO BRILLIANT. She’s OK as long as I don’t
have to spend a lot of time around her. - Daddy didn’t have
anything against the ordinary conscripted German soldiers;
but with good reason, he had no use whatsoever for the
Nazi officers. Don’t get me wrong. If they were shooting
at him; he was shooting right back just as fast. I can
get along with the SIL; but I don’t hang around her any
more than I can help. That war left more scars on me than
some people. Daddy was shell shocked all to blazes; had
flashbacks just about all his life. (Flashbacks are NOT a
dream; they are BEING THERE over and over and over.)
