Ok. In terms of the First World War, you may have something of a point. But with the Second World War, no way. We are back to the argument which I mentioned before: There were only a few Nazis (the one's mentioned in that famous song to the tune of Colonel Bogey) ... but they worked real hard. Apart from a few, futile, stuttering attempts at assasinating Hitler, one of which gave rise to a recent crappy movie, the Germans were fully behind the Nazis .... look at how they fought to the very bitter end. If there had been a time to be generous to Germany, it was in 1919 ... but after what they did in the 30s and 40s, no way.
