Completely Off-Topic, but as a german I feel I should give a short answer, to what Minnesota Joe wrote.
>Yes the Germans and the Austrians are >ashamed of what their ancestors did, but is >forgeting about really the beat think to do?
No it's definitely not. And most of us don't try to forget, we try to remember it. The only thing to prevent such terrible things from happening again is to remember them.
>The people there either dont know or dont >want to talk about it.
Yes, there are people, who don't want to talk about it. There are even people, who try to forestall exhibitions, discussions and such. I remember a touring exhibition called "Verbrechen der Wehrmacht" (Crimes of the Wehrmacht). Someone laid a bomb in one of the builings in one location.
But most of us are pretty aware, what was going on 33 - 45. And yes, we are ashamed of it.
OK, back to non-political mode and back to the game. After all, this is the CM forum.
Hey Matt, glad to hear you like it in germany. Have fun! Yes, it's possible to have fun in germany. Believe it or not.
