what does german feel when they read about warworld 2 ?

Question

and while they reading it did they want to win the war ? ...........honest answer plz

Answer 1

Should be same as Japanese people, very ashamed or feel like they really got a good @ss whopping!!

Answer 2

Yes they wanted to win the war. You do not get into a war to loose, unless your George W Bush! AS for what they think: one million Germans will be thinking one million different thoughts. Ask a Native American what he thinks when they view How the West was Won! The same thing takes place; some are discussed, others proud, some shamed, other anger, still others have a mixture of all these feelings. Remember not every one in German wanted the war or agreed with it, but unlike America they could not stand up and object to it either or they would be another victim of the WAR!

Answer 3

honest answer:
While I'm reading about the second world war I feel nothing in the first moment... top priority is to learn and to understand. But after a while I think of ALL the people that died during this war ...
I'm german, but I don't really feel a connection between me and both of the world wars. It's such a long time ago, my grandparents were little children .... Life went on during the last decades.
I hate it to be reminded that the world war II is "our" or even "my" fault everytime I'm going to a foreign country. It's not my fault, because I wasn't born ... I and many many people in my home country hate the Nazis. Hope you understand that.

And to answer your last question: In my whole life I've never thought about winning or loosing the war ... beleive it or not: That's not the centre of my life.

Answer 4

I know for sure that the German People feel terrible about , what Hitler did. They read about the Holocaust and one can not put into words the real horror and torture that happened. Many Germans helped the Jewish people. They saw how Hitler was committing terrible crimes against humanity and they did not agree or go along with him and his Army. When American Soldiers marched into Berlin, the Germans greeted them with open arms. They wanted America and Britain, and all other Allies, to stop Hitler and they did. Only if a person lived in Germany and witnessed the brutality of Hitler , would tell the real , full horrible story.

Answer 5

The issue of Germany, and what led up to WWII, is a lot more complicated than any simple answer can provide, but I will give you one. It was our fault.

We had a chance to help Germany become a peaceful, democratic society, but instead, after WWI, we help in the blockade of all their ports of entry, whether sea or land, hoping to starve their population out of existence. This after their very own people brought about the end of WWI. Germany didn't surrender in 1918, because we were about to beat them, but because the German people were rioting against the Kaiser over the War. It should be noted that the Kaiser was the cousin of the King of England.

Each German regiment was told that all the other regiments were winning and pushing forward. Since they did not have any way to confirm that, they were just a little surprised when suddenly Germany surrendered.

The initial surrender was offered by civilians, sent by the Kaiser, but it was rejected by our military, as they consider civilians to be beneath them. They would only accept a surrender coming from a military officer. The war continued longer because of this action.

Answer 6

It depends on what German you are asking. I've been fortunate.

I met people, German Jews, who survived the Holocaust. I met a German woman who hid Jewish people in her home and wrote a book about it. I met a German man who said his father was in the SS. I met a German woman who said her family lived way out in the country on a farm and their entire small town didn't even really get involved. I met a German teenager who said her elderly family called the period of WW2 "The Late Great Unpleasantness" (much in the same way some Southerners used to call the Civil War "The War Between The States" because they claimed, "there was nothing 'civil' about it").

I hope you continue your research beyond Yahoo!Answers. Read as much as you can, watch documentaries, visit museums and talk to as many as you can. The experience will enrich in your life on many levels.

Answer 7

The truth of it is that all cultures try to justify their mistakes to the newer generations, that happens anywhere, so I doubt that they teach WWII in the same way we do. And also, the Germans fought the war because they thought they were doing what was right for their country. Hitler promised his people for new jobs and a better economic system and goverment, so they followed him and he produced. It is the holocost that we see about WWII but it wasn't the only thing happening. Hitler was crazy, but a good pubic speaker and leader.

Answer 8

Of course they wanted to win it fool. Who goes in to a war wanting to lose?

The younger (post war) generation still feel a sense of shame that their parents could do such a thing, a sort of "how could you be so duped" view.

Answer 9

The same way i feel when i think about Vietnam, somebody Else's wrong.

Years ago when i was stationed with the us army in Wurzburg i was drinking with a Bundeswehr tanker and he said (about WW2), "We had the best Army in the world. We just weren't good enough."
