> And we punished Germany for generations because of it. Poland, who fought Germany with the biggest % casualties, ended up in a much worse state than Germany, because of russian occupation in the form of communism (Germany had a healthy part to take over after USSR collapsed) and no participation in the marshal plan. So I have doubts if we can speak about Germany being punished for generations.
