Nazi-era military names should be removed from army barracks, German defense minister says

The eagle predated the Reich, but not by that much after all Germany became a nation less that 70 years before the Nazis were elected.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - Yes. The Eagle goes back to the Roman Empire at least.

LTC (Join to see) - They killed enough Romans that they were entitled to that Eagle

MAJ Conway: During my 30 months stationed in Germany I saw those eagles also but the big change was the Nazi swastika was not held in the eagle's talons. I was surprised to see all the memorial statues of German soldiers killed in WWII located in towns across Germany. German law prohibits the open display of anything related to Adolf Hitler's Nazi
Germany. All who served in Hitler's Wehrmacht swore an oath to Hitler not their fatherland Germany so I was surprised to see all the statues of Hitler's Nazi soldiers displayed. I was told the Germans were honoring their dead not Nazi Germany but that is a thin line that separates the two.

SSG Warren Swan Bingo! "Day Late and a Dollar Short" "Closing the Barn Door After the Cows Have Gotten Out". Now that they have a Neo-Nazi Problem they can say they are doing something about it!

Many very good and bad men remained loyal to their country. Never forget that the victors write the history.

they seem to disagree, and just perhaps they understand their situation better than we do.

perhaps they do,TopSgt, but there seems to be a lot of confusion about priorities on that entire continent.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - Not necessarily, they have been sucking hind tit since 1866.

something this trivial and trivialy a easy dose not effect handling oriorities. This is as hard as cleaning a boot after walking through a pasture.
