Nazi controversy
THE surrender of the German armed forces on Luneburg Heath in 1945 was an impressive affair. How splendid the German generals looked in their smart uniforms emblazoned with Nazi medals and insignia.
Mary Machen does not wish the German nation (of that era) to be blamed for the sins of the Nazis (Letters, July 15). This view might be challenged without a hint of racism. History is a matter of choosing what to believe. Nonetheless, MM does deserve to have her view accurately reported. It’s the naughty step for the letters’ editor.
