[QUOTE="svessien, post: 663631, member: 15481"]Hi Frank I guess my post could be read as provocative, and sorry for that. As for the point about most countries having something bad in their past, that was my point too. I find it important to mention that among all the countries that we could mention, there is no country with a greater feeling of guilt than Germany. Remember when they arranged the football WC, and German people were celebrating a victory out in the streets with German flags, Chancellor Merkel said that first now the German people dared to cheer with flags and celebrate their nationality. Mostly, Germans are quick to look down and humbly excuse themself for WWII, although they were not even born then and have no responsibility. Like Drusus says; History channel runs WWII footage round the clock, telling the tale about the universal villain. I just wanted to say we should start with ourselfs first. Like the OP, I don't want any swastikas around my home either. I have a 5 mark with Hindenburg, and that represents Germany WWII era. I don't agree politically incorrect coins should go in the smelter, though, be it Caesar, Nero, Ghenghis Khan, Attilla the Hun, British and Spanish kings, Napoleon or Mao. Svein[/QUOTE]
