  • Oh shist. not again :( I have talked to quite a lot of Germans since you first brought up your "everyone hates Germans"-notion. Sofar it appears that you are the only German who think so. Now this mania of your is pretty annoying, and I find it likely that if you came to DK I would dislike you. Could it be that this "hatred of all Germans" that you percieve, is really just people reacting to you ? regards JakobA
  • We British do not hate the Germans and there’s no reason for us to do so. I cannot understand why you say that Britain has anything to do with coloured people not being able to sit where they like on buses in the U.S.A. This may have happened in the past, but it is certainly not the case now. Germany can hold her head up high and be proud of as being one of the most prosperous member countries of Europe. I do not know how old you are, but after the WWII ended the German infrastructure was smashed and the economy was in ruins. Since 1945 through the hard work and commitment of your countrymen and women, it has made a marvellous economic recovery and enjoy more privileges than we do in Britain. Nobody wants to see Germany as the underdog of Europe or its people made an inferior class, as that’s something that they will never be.
  • Comment only: I have worked with Germans in Germany and met and spoken to many on holiday and I have always found them to be friendly. I have even been to night school to learn the language, and although I cannot speak fluently I have enough to hold a reasonable conversation. When I worked in Poland I found the Poles to be very anti German and anti Russian. Some could speak a little German and I was able to converse with them. In the Czech Republic I found it easy as quite a lot of the older Czechs speak German too. We have many Germans who were prisoners of war who remained in the UK because either all their families had been killed or that they were from Eastern Germany and could not return. In a village near where I live was a P.O.W. camp and the local people always invited the Germans to Sunday dinner. I have been told that one of them was Bert Trautmann who played football for Manchester City from 1949-1964,and he came from Bremen.
