The Germans were victims of World War II no less than the other nations involved in this horrendous catastrophe. The crimes committed against women and girls ages 8 to 80 (mass rape) by the Russians is incomprehensible. The terror Air War killed half a millions Germans, primarily women, children and old people. At the end of the War, the Americans let hundreds of thousands of German POWs die due to lack of shelter and adequate food. How many of you know that Germany lost her ancient eastern provinces of East Prussia, Silesia, East Pomerania etc. where Germans had lived, in some cases, for hundreds of years? How would we Americans feel if we lost a war and the Mexicans took back the lands that were historically theirs. At least the Mexicans have a much better claim to the US Southwest and California than the Russians, Poles and Czechs do to East Prussia, Silesia and the Sudetenland. Before uttering 'Nazi' under our breath, I would ask all of us to learn more about both sides of the War which caused the Germans to be as they are today. Maybe we won't so quickly come to the conclusion that we hate Germany! Today is the 4th of July and you know what the Americans are saying, 'Love it or leave it!' With best wishes and with the hope that the next Expatica topic will be a little more up living. How about the rebirth of Dresden 60 years after its senseless destruction in a holocaust firestorm?

The Allies forfeited any right to moral superiority when they committed crimes against the Germans of an equal or greater degree than the crimes committed by the Germans themselves. The death of half of a million Germans in the terror Air War, the death of some two million Germans during the flight and expulsion from Eastern Europe and the death of hundreds of thousands of German POWs showed the Allies to be no less morally corrupt than the Germans. Although we are urged to call World War II 'the good war', it was as bad as all wars due in no small part to the revenge-motivated atrocities of the Russian and the other Allies.
