Thank you for the effort. I understand your point and am quite shocked as that totally differs with my experience being born and being raised in germany.

I am more of a Roman type than the aryan viking type but my grandfather was part of the Wehrmacht and was never "entnazifiziert".

I totally get the leaning right politics we currently experience throughout Europe in general and Germany is not excluded.

I was under the impression that in comparison to the Japanese being confronted and learning from the atrocities throughout ww2 the Germans had quite a lot education to be done and to this day we still "remember and atone for our crimes". Throughout our day and involvement in the EU I feel we are always considering side effects and take in regard our history. Our education system highly points out all the bad things our forefathers did and acknowledge that we don't want to be the bad guys a third time.

Currently there are very large demonstrations throughout all of Germany including people of every color from every background showing their hate for the right wingers.

Thank you for taking the time to answer so thoroughly.
