Alright. Every nation has their darkspots. Some have darker spots than others. But has anyone else here noticed the blatant lack of blame put on the country of Germany for WWII?

The way the school system puts it, and the way alot of popular films/literature put it, and the way people talk about the holocaust, you would think that Deutschland was totally victimized. That Hitler seized power from an unwilling populace with a giant revolutionary army of evil skinheads overnight. Then the people were brainwashed into thinking that the Jews/Rom were being sent to nice minority communities with picket fences. And everyone in Germany thought that the Polish were actually glad they had the Nazis to protect them from the Russians. And Nazi soldiers were widely believed to be mostly pleasant guys, really, who were pretty nice to the Dutch and the POWs. And the communists at home just fell over dead in their arm chairs, dying from natural causes.

This is only talking about here in the U.S. public school system, (though I would be interested to know if this is true for other places though I can't speak for anywhere else.) Now I bear the nation no ill will today, but it angers me that those who voted Hitler in and watched the deportation of minority groups and witnessed the stripping of freedoms and the massacre of communists and threw the fuels of racism into the fire and supported the nationalists even after the SA made themselves a househould name aren't presented negatively.

(If you disagree with my view of WWII, please explain why. Or if you have had different experiences in school/talking about it with the general public. But I have gone to high schools all over the country and it seems fairly prevalent.)

How are we supposed to learn from the holocaust when the blame is placed on just a few psychotics?

No, that isn't a question that can facilitate discussion well... Yeah, here's one. Why are we teaching about the holocaust in a way to make the average German look innocent? I am at a total loss.
