My girlfriend is German-Canadian (her grandfather immigrated to Canada after the war), and this topic always comes up around this time of year. Basically we think this: Remembrance day is about honouring the terrible sacrifice of soldiers, and reminding ourselves of the horror of wide-spread warfare. All soldiers, regardless of their allegiance, were compelled to fight by forces out of their control, and driven by political motivations they had no hand in. Therefore I honour the Germans as easily as I honour and remember my own grandfather who fought in Italy. I think your comment was more directed at Germany as a country, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents.
