Quote:Imagine how much worse it would have been for those Germans who actually lived through the war and had to pick up the pieces, to realise that, yes, their side were unequivocally the baddies,
They were only the baddies because they lost. If they had won there would be a statue of Hitler in every square in Europe and the church would have made him a saint.
This is the lesson that a close reading of history gives us.
