World War II - what are german children taught about it?

Russion invaders RAPED GERMAN WOMEN!!!

This is what really happened!!!

I was in Germany last year to visit my grandparents..

I am very sorry for what happened to the Jewish community, I really am!

I just hope and prey that in 2004 maybe Steven Spielberg can accept the past and stop blaming innocent German Folk of doing something wrong!!

I quite frankly am sick of the anti-german (jewish) way of life......move on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get over it...

IT HAPPENED!!! WELL I THINK YOU GUYS MATURED AS A COUNTRY AND DEALT WITH MORE IMPORTANT WORRIES..

Last time I watched CNN it wasn't the (anti-jewish germans) that were blowing up up buses! it was your neighbours that were doing it!!.

Why the hell would the German people even bother with that?

Germany has done eveything in the last 40 years to turn the tides around!~

I am sick and tired of hearing ANTI-GERMAN sentiment from jewish people!

Give us a break..

No 0ne wants to forget what happended and Germans are taught every day in Schools not to.. but it has to end sometime...I reconn after 40 or so years with a non-aggressive country you guys should relaxe more on what is going on beyond your own wall.

I could easily write so much more on this topic in defence of the modern German but I decide not to!!!

Why should I APOLOGISE FOR SOMETHING I DID NOT TAKE PART IN???

I WONT DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM PROUD TO BE GERMAN!~`
BECAUSE MY PARENTS SAVED JEWS WHEN TIMES WERE TOUGH!@!@

As we say in Australia (hint hint to mosadd!)

WE GET OVER #!!!

BEST WISHES TO YOU!!!

DANIEL JOACHIM REINHOLD FRIEDRICK VON GLUER!!!

Just like all the other modern Germans...

You have been placified by your own Schooling....

I truly feel sorry for you.

-peace

Daniel

Im sick of anti-german comments by jews and non jews. Modern Germany hasn't done anything wrong. As for the soviet troops raping women, that is true, it did happen.

Its always easy to sit on the sidelines and ciriticise others...
yet all you can do constructively, is critise the first soldier that defends your countries weak way of life...

Obviously you know must know this otherwise or you would not respond to a legitimate conversation about something you happen to feel so strongly about...

stop hiding in the shadows and make a real statement???

Daniel

Firstly,Im not even German, secondly, the name is "infinite".

Also, i've defended Germany throughout this thread, i think you should learn how to read before you make a fool of yourself.

That's why we send him to Australia
- infinite. Thanks for your objective and modern position on this topic

man...

Germany of today is one of the best countries in the world. Great economy ( holding the EU together ) , great football , the work they do in 3rd world is huge, HUGE, it is never mentioned in main stream media, but they are the ones building the countries after the wars. They are not just giving money and sacks of wheat, they are actually building the infrastructure, schools, economy...
I come from bosnia, I know what I am talking about. Most of economical and business projects in my country are german. Germany has the biggest number of refugees from the balkan region... not to mention all the turks living there.
Germans do learn a lot about WWII as stated in previous posts here, being nazi in germany is a crime, not a national pride.


So quit bashing this great country for something that has happened in the past. Better look at what they do now for this world.

its ok Shoo. i wanted to find out what they are taught and i have by the help of other members. This thread has turned into a nationalist thread, which wasn't intend, and honestly, have i said anything against Germany....??No,the reasons why is because modern Germany has nothing to do with the National Socialist. All countries make mistakes, the UK has made plenty.It was the UK who started the idea of concentration camps at the begining of the 1900s. The UK history is covered in blood and at one point we controlled most of the world. But the modern UK is nothing like the imperlistic past. As my teacher once told me

"the present isn't made up of the past"

Yeah, your views must be correct because YOU can't find anything about German and Polish tension. Who the hell ever said it is taught in schools? It's amazing at how niave you are. Do you want some links, they are in Polish...

You have the nerve to tell me about MY culture, and disprove me by "just doing a quick little search on the internet". Many Americans never really grasped the idea that everything they learn in the U.S. is not always true and that things are much deeper than they seem(Don't get me wrong, I love the USA). Don't even get me started on the U.K., how the Poles fought for them and were stabbed in the back.

But you've been fed propoganda since you were a little baby. You've got BS coming out the ying yang.

Please shut your mouth embarass yourself further.

I love how Polskie is bashing the Germans, when the Poles are coming over to Germany in droves for economic advancement.

They seem to not having a problem with money, hehe.

Well atleast the UK faught Hitler and didn't let them march through our towns I asked for information about what German children are taught about WWII, stick to the subject or move on.

Oh i see, there is that P word again. You seem to think anything that doesn't fit your way of thinking is "propoganda". It seems to me and everyone that your full of #, Modern German hasn't done anything wrong. Modern Germany is now one of the greatest countries in the world, is little old Poland jealous?? I think what we are seeing here, is the fact that you cannot handle living in the shadow of Germany.

And,as i said before, please stick to subject of this thread. If you want to bash Germany, go to the mud pit.

Well put Infinite, they guy was just trying to find out the German history curriculum, not start a bloody racist bitching match, this isn't the pit, and I suggest you take your views elsewhere.


P.s Good question Infinite, I've wondered what they taught too...
