I can't get over what happened in WW2 - in the late 30's I think about 35% of Americans were ethnic German; further, a large percentage were descendents of folk from the British Isles and therefore arguably of similar Anglo-Saxon stock.
If you also consider the cultural similarities ... well it goes on but to put it as simply as possible and bluntly, we had Anglo-Saxon Christians slaughtering Anglo-Saxon Christians, the bravest and the best young men.
And look at the make up of those "nations" now.
No wonder few dare question the propaganda that justified it..
We paid a terrible, terrible price for dragging Germany back under the financial yoke.
