Two, one to hold the ladder and one to explain that really the Wehrmacht were good little boys fighting valiantly for their country and they were involuntarily drafted plus they didn't even personally kill most civilians like the SS did and some of them weren't even members of the Nazi Party and . . . wait, what were we talking about again?

Germany is one of the few countries that actually very critically review their own history and spend a lot of effort on teaching younger generations the horrors of war (and of national socialism obviously).

(Meanwhile Japan just recently wanted Germany to remove a memorial statue for the women in Japanese prostitution camps, and made a contract with China to remove one there)

Wow, wild how Germany supports the genocide in Israel then. You'd have thought they were actually taught about that sort of stuff in school.

I'm guessing Germans also learned about how denazification didn't really happen in the western occupation zone after like 47? And how many former nazis had high ranking positions in NATO?
