Having a degree in Germanic Languages, and having read a lot of German literature/screenplays from the 1950s-1980s, I can say that the Germans are really good at asking "How could we have let this happen?"
That made me laugh. Thanks for a bright spot in the morning.
henkster, I'm really surprised at you. You base your assumptions on what liberals & COMMUNIST agitators ( literature/screenplays) say!
Of course these Intellectuals, commies will do their obligatory hand wringing.
None of my Onkels or even my own Vater had those sentiments! AND, some paid a price with blood......I'll believe them before anyone else!
You might as well quote what a NY newspaper or Pravda publishes as truth.
Let me ask a question: Show me the newspaper headlines, " Germany and The USSR invade peaceful Poland to start WWII" or "German & Russian War Criminals on trial!"
