No you don´t know it because there was no internet and your government was smart enough not to tell you that this is happening every day when your soldiers have been there.

if they would have gone after 2 years the next hitler would be possibly a bit smarter and takes the world piece by piece.

we have a very unique education system in Germany what would not exist without america. I lived with american GIs as my neighbors til far in the 70s and Germans today are the most pacifist people with no national pride at all.
the first time when i personally saw a german flag in the window or the balcony of a house was at the football world championship 2006.
if someone would put a german flag on his house or his car before that he would be at the Nazi observation list.

And you know what: I think that was good for us. In Germany we respect individuals - no matter what they are and where they come from - we respect performance, reliability, a given word - but we are not this WE-ARE-THE-BEST-community blinded by our own national pride. and sure you can tell me that you know one that is different. YES you are right - we ALL are different and this is good that we KNOW AND ACCEPT THAT!

so i am happy that trump was not the american president than and leave the country in chaos. the only funny thing is, that americans teached us something that americans never have learned.
