@somersetdc History is more complex than you imagine. First of all, history is a science and should not be a political issue. The ultimate black and white picture of absolute evil is, of course, false and does not exist. What does the world of the 20th century owe to Germany? First of all, a multitude of scientific breakthroughs. Then a war, which we have known for 100 years had many fathers and French and English hatred led to its continuation (World War II) in the Treaty of Versailles. I well remember a seminar in Los Angeles when my history professor was stunned to tell me that the U.S. delegation at Versailles was confronted by English and French who were still wearing feathers on their heads, mutatis mutandis. In fact, the world today faces a situation where you can no longer name crimes because you have already shot your moral ammunition. The extermination of the Indians, the crimes of English colonialism, French violations in the Algiers War, apartheid in South Africa, fascism in Spain? Suddenly after 1945 everything did not matter any more and the 100 million murdered people of the communism (the Russians were decisively responsible) were declared to second-class victims long ago. In this slipstream we currently see the war of aggression of the Russians, who abuse the culture of remembrance as a weapon.
