Windsorite Susan Taylor was at Toast, ready to pay for her breakfast when she was told the bill had been covered.
“The waitress made an announcement in the restaurant that this lovely couple in the corner is paying for everyone who is in the restaurant at the time for breakfast,” Taylor told AM800’s Mornings with Mike and Meg.
“She (the donor) said that she was American, and she just wanted to apologize,” said Taylor.
“She said she knows that their president has caused a rift in what was happening between our countries, and she wanted us to know that not all Americans are bad people.”
Worked pretty well for us Germans. Im sure in 80-100 years everyone will have forgotten about your egomaniac fascist starting a world war because there will be a new even worse fascist somewhere else.
Look on the bright side: Germans will soon no longer be associated with Nazis.
Unfortunately, it’ll just have moved to Americans.
Unfortunately, I think theyre on the rise just about everywhere. The US was just the first to go all in full fascist.
I dunno, Japan makes a point to not apologize and they get less flak than Germany
Though I guess the last PM they had who was a dick about it got some flak, rapidly accelerated from a doohickey
Japan only gets less flak from western countries. They get a lot of flak across Asia.
PM only got doohickeyed after retiring.
Maybe because Japan wasnt the country with the crazy power hungry dictator who wanted to cleanse the world of non-caucasians? Sure they did some bad stuff, but so did the US. It was a war.
Edit: if it makes people feel better, I can rephrase it as “horrible warcrimes”, I wasnt trying to play down ww2. Just trying to make the point that Germanys role was pretty prominent.
Even with your edit, it’s clear you owe yourself a bit more research on this topic before making further assertions about it.
You really need to read up about Japan in WWII (and several decades leading up to it).
I dare you to go to South Korea or China and say in a public place.
I watch a lot of horror, but one of the legendary movies I’ve never tracked down is Men Behind the Sun due to its reputation as being quite a slog. That kind of subgenre is not really my thing; I’ve not watched Ilsa, either. But when you learn that vivisection was involved and that is something that actually happened, it’s quite eye-opening.

Also, when you learn of actual cannibalism - watch this until the end for the mind-blowing twist:

Oh I see, Nanking was just some ‘bad stuff’.
Yeah, the place so bad it got the Nazi ambassador who was a card carrying member of the SS to start hiding and protecting people.
Nothing to see here.
Hooo boy, you oughta look at the shit Japan did to Korea and China, they put the Nazis to shame sometimes
Then again the US dropped two nukes on civilians and every president avoids apologizing when they visit the memorial so you have a point there
