Idiot - at the very least he should have made it clear at what age a German becomes "Kraut that should" die and whether he'd be prepared to kill German children himself or he'd prefer to order somebody else to do it.
WW2 was terrible on everybody and Germans paid much higher price than England.
Shows what happens when you follow a short bloke with a 'tache!
I find it kind of strange that people still blame a whole countries people for things that happened over 50 years ago.
Why is it that ALL German's should now be killed when as AtW says they paid the price in full as decided at the time?
What about those people in Iraq, Afghanstan, China, huge parts of Africa whose families were also killed by British forces during various periods of the empire?
Have you also considered that not ALL Germans actually wanted war in the first place? In much the same way that Blair decided the Uk would goto war against Iraq irrelevant that a large part of the country was opposed to war and wanted official UN intervention to validate the "30 minutes to deploy weapons of mass destruction" claim. Still, the Uk went to war, it was found that the 30 min claim that was the basis on which they went to war was false and yet many lives were killed in Iraq because of these actions. Many Germans were also opposed to war but rather than simply being ignored by the government they faced death of them, their families and any associates due to the powers placed in local authorities if they spoke out against the state and did not follow the party line.
My personal opinion is those in glass houses should not throw stones. WW2 was not the last atrocity to occur, Britain is not by any means perfect in it's track record over the years in terms of war.
