It's a common belief held by uneducated people throughout the USA that all Germans are NAZIs.  

Example:

At the large land grant university near me the Head Chef at a dinning hall is from Germany having met his American wife and immigrated to the USA almost 20 years ago. He has a very German name, is very tall, has grey hair, and speaks with a German accent.  However, he was only about five years old when the war ended.  Each year during Octoberfest he would plan a special menu consisting of German Dishes for one day and decorate the dinning hall in a festive Octoberfest way.  Each year that is until a complaint was made with the university's "Office of Inclusion."  The German Chef had hung in the dinning hall flags with the Iron Cross on them and an African American kitchen staff member had misinterpreted it as a Swastika and filed a complaint.  It became clear to all concerned that at no point did the Chef hang any Swastika or other NAZI symbol.  However, rather than take this opportunity to educate the kitchen staff member about the Iron Cross to help "include" The German Chef's culture into the university the German Chef was given an official reprimand in his employment record by the "Office of Inclusion."  In short, the German Chef was reprimanded for displaying "hateful" symbols on university property and ordered to attend a class on how to be more culturally sensitive.  The German Chef choose not to appeal the decision or take it up with his union.  Unfortunately, he no longer puts on an Octoberfest meal or decorates the dinning hall.  However, I will point out that the entire university each year is well appointed with decorations during Kwanzaa.

I personally don't harbor any ill will towards any of the Germans around today, and certainly don't associate them with the horrors perpetrated by their GOVERNMENT 70 years ago.



I view the Germans as more civilized, modern, cultured, and sophisticated than probably 90% of the world.



People need to let shit go.



To many mother fuckers try to guilt/shame the living because of the transgressions of the dead in order to promote an agenda.
