Re: How short is the memory?
I've got family who fought in both wars - one member of my family recieved a VC in WWI.

Even speaking to my grandma I learnt much about how war life was. She doesn't hate all Germans.
When I said who are mainly dead now - I meant the perpetrators of the crimes. I just can't see what having lots of pent up anger and hate against people which is not their doing is going to achieve?
