The quality of German soldiers is not the question.
"The day will never come that people find it practical and easy to have a demon to blame for everything."
Imagine if Nazi Germany had succeeded in defeating the Allies. You nor I might be here having this little debate.

What else then German warfare or not warfare is the topic on Freerepublic ?
Everyone seems to be an "expert" in Nazi times - the rest is silence.
The time between 33 and 45 is important to know and the hollocaust not to be forgotten. That's a predominant attitude of germans. We feel to be the sentinels of this important legacy - and we are about the only nation that stands open and without hesitation to the sins of it's own past.
In the US or in France a rememberance and openess like that would certainly not be possible.
