Bump for the tender-hearted Germans, who wouldn't hurt a fly.

The History of Germany and the Rest of Continental Europe: Swings from one extreme to the other.

In the eastern Ukraine recently I was at a museum dedicated to the molodaya gvardiya, a band of teenagers who became partisans during WW II. The displays included the original German logs of their "interrogations", torture implements, and pictures of the executions. Even the grafitti on their cell walls was recorded by the methodical huns.

If you ever see a picture of a young blond girl being hanged while her boyfriend looks on, that's the face of Teutonic compassion.

In that picture: Are the last few seconds of life SO PRECIOUS that the fellow sitting on the edge of the pit couldn't try -- failing, but trying anyways -- to grab the executioners gun?

Thanks, for a very honest reminder.

I suppose if Moussaoui were a Jew, Germany would not have a problem with execution.
