Germany's last world war 1 veteran died on 1st January. There was nothing in the papers about this and its only just come out. Germany doesnt keep a register of their war veterans.

BBC NEWS | World | Europe | Germany's 'last' WWI veteran dies

Compare it to this:

BBC NEWS | World | Europe | France's oldest WWI veteran dies

France's president sent his condolences.

I know Germany lost the war, i know that many people lost fathers, grandfathers, brothers, uncles etc but it does say something about how Germany has kept the memory of the world wars - we lost so we dont do or say anything.
