The Germans have many good qualities (punctuality, precision in machinery) but they have their bad qualities, and attempting to re-write history is one of them.

This is the second thread which has been opened on this subject, probably because a sequential article has been published in Britain. I presume to paste my comments from that thread here because I think they lend perspective:

Germans call Churchill a war criminal (HOLD MEIN BIER...YET AGAIN)

Lets back off a minute and see what we are dealing with. This is an English newspaper article about a German tabloid's serialization of a history book.

The German tabloid, Das Bild, (The Picture)lives up to its name. It primary attraction is a revealing picture of a copiously endowed fraulein on the front page, below the fold, with statistics in case her charms are not evident enough from the picture. Das Bild is marginally more trustworthy than The National Enquirer.

I can tell you that right now German television is running a documentary on the SS which is unsparing it its presentation of the Hitler Time. Scarcely a week goes by without a similiar presentation on German television. To jump to a conclulion that such a history book represents mainstream thought in Germany is lecherlich.

Schröder's election shows that Germany,if anything, is suffering from a creeping, leftist, pacifist malaise which could not be further removed from a facist revival. Lets worry about something real, like why the Germans are more like the French than the English, instead of flying off the handle because of third hand reports contrived to get a rise out good honest Brits and Americans
