My point was not to defend those working for the Nazis, but you say "[Nazi] is that country's defining characteristic" in your comment, and that has to be 'was' at the very most. You're carelessly suggesting that Germany still is defined by Nazism, hence the suggested correction.
- mikeash 8y agoSorry if I wasn't clear. By "that country" I was specifically referring to Nazi Germany. Modern Germany, having been through occupation, division and reunification, with no continuity in the state, a different constitution, and different borders, is not really the same country.
