1. Did you ever attend any history lessons? We were already beaten by Stalin´s troops before you invaded the Normandie. Utterly defeated^^ don´t make me laugh. Not that i´m proud of Hitler´s madness but it´s always funny when an american tries to lecture someone from another country about his history.
2. they were not send there to be educated, they came to the USA to learn about your country, so they visited the US only for a short time. If they come to your country and only hear insults from your teachers and everyone else is this the right way to treat them? If your answer is yes then stop whining about anti-americanism in Germany. These students showed great interest in your culture, so i think it´s wrong to treat them like enemies.
I´m not belittleling your country even though it may sound like that. Next time please give me some arguments. You can start with whining about the leftist media in Germany.

DeinBabbes didn't do a very good job of communicating it, but he had a good point in here. If American students were taking out their perfectly justifiable anger at the German government's craven backstabbing of us over Iraq on a bunch of innocent German exchange students who were just trying to learn about America, that was both sad and stupid. However, if said German exchange students were mouthing the idiocies then being voiced by their government, methinks they got what they deserved. More details are required, and frankly, I suspect that BOTH were going on.

Points 1 and 2. Quite correct -- the Russian army had rolled back the German advance from Stalingrad. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Germans lost more soldiers on the Eastern front htan on the West and those on the Eastern front considered the Western front to be a cakewalk.
Stalin pushed back the Nazis BUT he did do it with American monetary and military aid.
