> Back when life was a cabaret? Yep. All visitors were wearing a Bubikopf. > However, it wasn't just that. The end of WWII is Year Zero for a lot of what we're still living with, from the Cold War to modern computing technology to the roads we in America drive on, because it was so destructive it erased the previous world in a way few things had. My point was, that other countries are glorifying their past empires or at least acknowledge, that they once beat the British, while Germany is much more limited. Compare for example how Poles and people from Eastern Germany see Russia. > And isn't it interesting that when Europe begins to get unified, Germany is right there leading the way. Well, initially it was the other way round. Germany was unified and Europe united and integrated partly because of a growing Germany.
