I enjoy the History Channel programs about the German military and WWII equipment more than any other Country. Some of the armor and aircraft were ingenious. If they had a real leader back then, a lot would be different but I think they would have lost the war anyhow. The methods used in problem solving and training were next to none.
Of course. Don't you know then what happened in the 30's and 40's?
Espacialy conquest shall be remembered. Germany is still doing it today. Only this time Germany is using diplomacy in stead of military power. It isn't official, but together with France, Germany is ruling Europe.
Germany is a full member of the EU. There isn't really a headcountry of the EU. There always is a country that acts as chairman, but for only 6 months. The problem is that Germany (and France) doesn't care. Germany always acts like it is the head of the EU. But isn't. Another problem is that everyone is buying it. Take my country. The leftwing politicians alway blame the rightwing politicians for sucking up with the US. At the same time they are doing it with the EU. And far more worse then the way how they accuse others of doing it with the US. And even if there is a rightwing government, than the leftwingies still rule.
Sounds weird doesn't it. It is quite easy. The dutch media in general is left wing. Every political desission, statement, etc. made by a rightwing politician is being brought in the news, papers, etc. acording their own leftwing opinion. The dutch people is buying it with ease, and the leftwing parties are gaining from it.
You could say that the dutch are being brainwashed by the leftwingies.

I was speaking more to the quality of education and just plain ingenuity. I put the Swiss in the same category. I hope the future generations will remember that we also made great clocks.
I'm third generation American. My surname is Knous, which was Knouse before Ellis Island.question to all germans
germany is made up of many states and 200 years ago were nation-states, although all speaks german, im just wondering about its previous state of being, such as states like prussia, saxony and others
and i have a question, is it true that prussians have von as the middle name>?

What I wanted to say was, that most people notice only the big nimbus of Germany of the last 2 or 3 decades which means mostley Cars, beer and the Oktoberfest or Germany acting like the Good Samaritan giving aid to many many countries.
But who knows that we currently have an unemployment quota of 10% and more?
- That 2.5 million children are living below the povertyline
- That 10,000 companies going into bankruptcy EVERY MONTH(!) and the number's rising
- That the new borrowing in 2004 was 43.7 billion Euro, which set up a new record"
- That you have to pay 10 Euro "admission" at the doctor's every quarter year to receive medical medical attendance
These are just a couple of things that are upsetting me.
But the most annoying thing about this stuff is that most people in Germany either just don't care or don't have the guts to rise and fight for their right and their future.

Fight? No, no, no. I think the people need lawyer to defend for their right, right? And on the other hand, if not so, people can also be defeated easily by the media. You are young European, not half-sane Japanese.
Look at this photo.
Handsome boys. Perhaps 17 or 18 years old at that time? I have been attracted by these soldiers' fate since I saw this photo. I can't find the Chinese information. Can you give me some information about these soldiers? I want to konw their name, family... etc.
