The Germans are great people. In fact, they're part of us. It's a shame their government has been infiltrated with corruption and allowing the islam enemy among their midst. Such a loss we'll all have to deal with in the future, as will our children.

There are numerous stories like this that have come out of various wars.
One of the best was a film "Into the White" aka "Cross of Honour" (2012).

An excellent film, highly recommended.
