Rog Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I can see two sides to this. It brings Schindler back to the attention of the public. To be fair, unlike Japan, post war Germany has been very open about what took place under Nazi rule and continues to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have German friends, who I think will not be impressed by this event. Maybe someone should hint at the intention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sick Moon Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Hmm. Pretty light Williams fare, probably needs the associated imagery for any effect. I prefer this! Suits my skating style more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may be more open now about their murderous genocidal history but up until the late seventies a German mate of mine said the war and their conduct was verboten except for the superficial and token information in his school's curriculum. As far as he remembers, he never saw a war movie till he was in his early 20's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
