Ahhh!

Sorry that I misread you. Nothing like starting the new year by making an ass of oneself. (blushing, shuffling feet)

I don´t know what to say after reading most of your posts.
First, I have to wonder about you.

You speak of "the Germans, Huns, Fritz, Krauts" as if we were ONE MAN (Hitler), as if all the women, elder people, children who died in the cities of Dresden, Hamburg, Bremen, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Köln were guilty of slaughtering jews and deserved the death penalty.

I afraid of your words of "reserving a nuke for Germany" and of your ideas to get rid of the German people. I hear that you think of us as a threat to the civilized world all the time... have you ever been to here??

I don´t know what to answer... except maybe, that it must be acceptable in a society where freedom of speach should be respected, to call Churchill (and "Bomber Harris") a war criminal. THAT DOESN´T MEAN THAT ANYBODY FORGETS THE CRIMES OF AUSCHWITZ OR BUCHENWALD.

Blaming the one sides crimes doesn´t mean to accept the others side.

You wonder why we punish those who say that Auschwitz never happened? The reason is, that we´ll never want to happen it again! That´s why we´ve to prevent any kinds of racist energy.

I considered America as a friend, an ally, a very good partner (let´s forget for a moment the relations with my government). But when I hear you, I get the impression that America has declared war on Germany.
The war is over and we´ve to talk not only about the crimes the Nazis (which is not equal to the German people) and the allied forces committed. Therefore I consider this book as a very good basic for discussions.

I`m disappointed (and I´m sure most of you don´t care about that). I´m sorry to say that most of you haven´t understood anything of the post-war Germany....

Even if you insulted me and my fellow-citizen:

my best wishes for you,

Michael
