alberich35:In some WW1 soldiers wondered why they were killing and fraternized on the occasion of Christmas day. Obviously it has not rained for staffs and was severely punished. The outcome of this war was sheer injustice (the Treaty of Versailles) and bore the seeds of WW2
This had me nodding in agreement
alberich35: Our glorious Clemenceau (tiger) wanted to continue the war until the extermination of the German people. Maybe he was right.
This chilled me to the marrow. Were you agreeng with this Alberich?
Same for German soldiers except that no German city was not destroyed and no German woman raped.
Is this another quote? Or just poisonous hateful opinion passed off as fact?
Not one word of that sentence is true.
Have I got this wrong?
It looked like narrow minded, nasty anti German bigotry to me. There is no place for those sentiments in this game or its public forum. This is not the place to discuss national politics, past or present.
BUT
I could not let the above post go without comment or I would have felt complicit in spreading the lies and hatred contained within it.
The past should not be forgotten otherwise we're doomed to repeat it but moving forward there is no place for resentment or blame.
The European Union (like it or not) has lead us to 70 years of peace and made us significant in global politics and economics. None of this would have come about without the support of successive post war German governments and more importantly an express mandate from the German people, who wanted (and still want) a prosperous, free and peaceful Europe.
I think thats it all covered, so to summarise -
French and German people are cool.
WTF does it matter where your from, we're all the same
