I can only talk of Germany of today, well, may be 10-15 years back. My co-workers are taking frequent business travel there and let me tell you..The most ordered, uptight, efficient, polite, may be somewhat psychotic nation out there. How ever, we most agree it to be the best place to live, somehow. Magic attraction it has. I personally understand to full extend current nazi move in Germany and I have posted my point couple of posts above and excuse them for what they have done some 60 years ago. I buy their being sincerely ashamed of the past and do not mind have them as true friends now...free of charge, free of eternal repatriations unlike some other nations.
In essence, what ever had happened then has nothing to do with what is happening now..no correlation, IMO.
