Re: Article - Germans have right to honour war heroes
It's hard for veterans of the losing side of a war to march. What will they be commemorating? Are they celebrating their inability to defeat the enemy? Are they bringing back memories of the comrades who died in vain?
I'd like to think most men in the German military machine were not truly Nazi, and Nazi do not deserve to march (in fact, they probably don't deserve to even breathe). At the same time, those who do deserve to march will not want to do it because to many of them the war is an emotional trauma and they will not want to bring that back up. Veterans of the Allied countries can at least celebrate the victory and celebrate their dead buddies as heroes. Veterans of the Axis cannot do the same.
