Fyodor Lukyanov: Berlin has abandoned its post-Hitler pacifism, the ‘German question’ has returned

The remilitarization of its second most-populous country has profound consequences for Europe By Fyodor Lukyanov, the editor-in-chief of Russia in Global Affairs, chairman of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, and research director of the Valdai International Discussion Club. FILE PHOTO. © David Hecker/Getty Images) After a period of playing hard to get, the German government has agreed to supply Ukraine with Leopard tanks - its own and those in service with other NATO countries. We will leave it to military experts to assess how this will affect Ukraine's combat capabilities and the course of operations. The question for us is what does it mean in political terms? Germany and military power - the combination of these term...

British Historian Details Mass Killings and Brutal Mistreatment of Germans
at the End of World War Two

By Mark Weber Germany's defeat in May 1945, and the end of World War II in Europe, did not bring an end to death and suffering for the vanquished German people. Instead the victorious Allies ushered in a horrible new era that, in many ways, was worse than the destruction wrought by war. In a sobering and courageous book, After the Reich: The Brutal History of the Allied Occupation, British historian Giles MacDonogh details how the ruined and prostrate Reich (including Austria) was systematically raped and robbed, and how many Germans who survived the war were either killed in cold blood or deliberately left to die of disease, cold, malnutrition or starvation. Many people take the view that, given the wartime misdeeds of the Nazis, some degree of vengeful violence against the...
