Rich,


Many Germans and
Japanese fought and killed Allied troops long after the war.



I am German. I am quite well educated in my country's history (I can
point at Iraq on a map, too). Your above statement is total BS.

How OLD a German are you? If you were born after about 1935, you don't
know as much as you think you know, having obtained your education in
your country's history following the imposition of laws restricting the
dissemination of information on the NSDAP.

I remember in the 1960s when the German scientists in my neighborhood
would greet new arrivals and tell them that they had to tell their kids
the truth about the National Socialists and recent German history,
because these subjects were covered to a far greater extent in
California schools than they had been in the German schools.

Ian,

If you were born after about 1935, you don't
know as much as you think you know, having obtained your education in

Yeah, right... Time for a reality check, my man.

Yes, Thomas, it is.

The war ended in 1945. The "De-Nazification" laws were imposed before
all of the Wehrmacht had demobilized, and that started between the death
of Hitler and the surrender by Doenitz, three days later -- which is why
trying him for "extending the war" was a real crock.
