My grandfather left Germany when Hitler won in 1933. He said when he grew up that many Jews had come to Germany because it treated the Jews better than any other nation. Jews were scapegoated throughout Europe but Hitler was the first modern age leader to make anti-semitism a national agenda rather than periodically having pogroms. That's why Ahmedinijad is so dangerous because he is using the exact same language as Hitler.

As far a most Germans they are evil and support the Arab Terrorists in Israel so I don't support Germany but as far and individuals there are some like Pheasant and GWB the Hero that are reichous. I support people like them

Our new-found friends, the North Koreans, are in the habit (according to the BBC) of routinely rounding up the families of offenders, and using them for biological experiments. Now, what were we saying about the Germans?
Personally I once married into a family of expatriate SA Germans, who unlike most of their fellow countrymen had not suddenly seen the error of their ways at the end of the war. The insisted that the basic choice facing them in the election which voted in Hitler was to vote for either Hitler or the Communists. They reacted in the way in which many of us would react. Jews were not considered an issue - too many of them had fought alongside their fellow Germans in the trenches. If there was an issue, other than the Communists, it was the dismemberment of Germany following World War 1 in the Treaty of Versailles, which even Lloyd George said at the time would lead to a Second World War.
By the way, the Welsh have the same name for the English as for the Saxons - they are the same people. Enjoy the Oktoberfest. Remember that the British and the Germans once enjoyed Christmas Eve celebrations together along a 250 km. front in the trenches, until those in charge ordered them back to carry on killing each other. Hardly anyone then or now knew what the war was about, other than blind patriotism.
It is right that the atrocities of the Second World War should be remembered, but what we are remembering is the failings of ordinary people such as ourselves.
