I do read German, and probably know enough about German culture to be able to get a feel for the nuances, but never have read a German textbook. However, my understanding is that German textbooks don't really go into a lot of detail about the Nazis.

I know a lot more German than Japanese. I don't know any Japanese.

My sense is that Germans, except for some skin heads and ultra right wing Bavarians, are sincere in their rejection of the Nazi era and for what the Nazi's did.

I don't sense that the Japanese feel that they did anything wrong except that they lost the war.

I don't have anything to go on - that is just my sense of things.

I believe the Japanese soldiers behaved far worse than German soldiers during WWII.

I don't understand it, but I don't think Japanese soldiers now are capable of doing what their ancestors did during WWII.

I think the Chinese right wing is wrong in going after an apology. It's over. Things and people change. Move on.

I think all right wing people are idiots <gggg>. They are going to get us all killed - if they had their way.
