Re: How short is the memory?

Hating a nation of people for something that happened 70 years a go is just narrow minded. The people in the German army now certainly were not involved in the henious crimes of Nazi Germany.

The Nazis were a vile set of people, and no one is disputing that - but, for us to move on from it, we have to move on from something that involves people that are mainly dead now.
