The Germans, (quite rightly, in my view), wish to hold a day of rememberance for their fallen.
Putting aside ones feelings on the EU etc, the greater majority of Germans that died in the war did so because they were part of the armed forces, and as such took the risk, as did our troops, so where's the problem ?
Had we lost, would we be allowed to hold a day of rememberance ?
