#1 BZZZZTTTT
Dumb.. Hitler and his people bombed the hell out of the UK during WW2. The crimes Germany commited against the Russians are unexcuesable. The Genocide against Jews and other undermenchen proclude making apologies. We rebuilt Germany and made her part of the modern west. That is enough. Germany can't be allowed to forget it's past.
Sorry this is just plain wrong.

#2 It's an exaggeration to say that the Germans bombed the hell out of Britain. They didn't do that, although not for lack of trying. British raids on Germany killed far more than German raids managed. As 'Bomber' Harris put it: Germany sowed the wind, and reaped the whirlwind. No apologies necessary. The mass bombings stand as punishment for German instigation of the conflict, and a as painful reminder of the consequences of starting such an utterly unjustifiable war of aggression. The bombing would have been stopped sooner, and lives wouldn't have been taken by the hundreds of thousands, had Germany relinquished stolen lands, released enslaved people, stopped butchering Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, Slavs, etc. etc., and surrendered earlier.

#4 Gurnica, Warsaw, Rotterdam, etc. Those who invented terror bombing directed not at military targets but populations really show chutzpuh expecting an apology from those who they practiced it against.

World War 1
World War 2
Can't blame the first two on Hitler, must be something in the water. Oh, and one more thing. Don't make us come in there again.
