You can’t even call Nazis Nazis anymore.

“A German man is being sued by the owners of a four-star hotel in Austria after posting online reviews in which he criticised them for decorating their lobby with a portrait of a “Nazi grandpa” in a uniform adorned with a swastika.

The owners of the hotel contacted both sites and asked for the reviews to be removed on the grounds that the description “Nazi grandpa” was libellous and defamatory because the people in the pictures – one a grandfather, the other an uncle of one of the owners – had only been members of the Wehrmacht, the unified armed forces of Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1945.

The fact that the Wehrmacht had been an instrument of the National Socialist regime, the owners argued, did not mean that soldiers conscripted into service could be defamed as Nazis.

After researching the identity of the two men in the photographs at the German National Archives in Berlin, K was able to prove that both of the men had in fact joined the Nazi party, in 1941 and 1943 respectively.”

:D

We stayed in Stuttgart a few years ago. There were many 'odd' things about the apartment including a photo of a Nazi soldier on the bedroom wall alongside watercolours of concentration camps.
 
They are a bit overly sensitive about this stuff over there. It will be okay though once they conquer Europe by stealth instead of military might.

They are. On the basis they are culturally conditioned that what their forefathers did was wrong.

I had a long and frank discussion with a German colleague around six months ago and the meekness is tangible.

We all lost family on both sides of the conflict.
