Third Generation Germans

This was something I had never even stopped to consider, but it is certainly well worth understanding. Some Germans feel guilty about their grandparents who were Nazis doing the war. This piece sums it up well:

I was made aware of this by August Guelfen, who was telling me about this in a private message, and later posted in my astronomy thread:

Hello again,

If someone is interested in the indo german/nurse roots of "Game of Thrones", so he or she should read the "Thule", especialy the Edda Saga, that is the whole truth about the Song of Fire and Ice. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is concepted the same way, but a bit more interesting, I guess... I read the "Thule" entirely, also the Edda Saga of indo german "apocalypse". But I am very lucky to be able to read old german, nowadays, I don't even know one person under 30 besides of me, who is able to read it, without being paid for it as historians or as scientists. Besides, their exist another funny thing,
called "The Guelphen Saga". It was written down the first time nearly 700 years ago, I guess... My old manhunter family is the best, beleave me... We hate and murder each other even sometimes today... We are indeed ol' dirty bastards of murder and mayhem... Can you imagine us at Christmas diner ?! It's great and more cold than in Sebiria in terms of emotions.

There are several Germans on LitNet. Its hard for me to understand that someone who wasn't even born in the Second World War can feel guilt for his grandfather having been a prominent and senior Nazi.

There were Nazi admirers in all countries, even in Britain: Oswald Mosley. Other countries had their quite substantial political parties, like the Arrow Cross in Hungary, Franco in Spain, Salazar in Portugal and Mussolini in Italy. The 1930s was the fascist era in Europe, partly the product of the Great Depression.
