By respectful and polite posts?

I think it's a bit of a stretch to credit the British for the success of modern Germany. I credit the Germans and at a considerably lesser level, the American taxpayers, for helping fund Germany's defence for a few decades.

No , i credited the British engineers for rebuilding the Volkswagon factory , not the success of modern Germany . Although they did have allied forces helping rebuild after the war they started , for many a year .
The migrant situation and the civil unrest its causing they did all by themselves .

Nobody ever mentions war crimes from a "winning side" either in conflicts of war.
There are WW II scholars who think the RAF committed war crimes / atrocities with the bombing and destruction and 100's of 1000's of unneccessary civilian deaths in Dresden & Hamburg to name but two cities.
War ain't pretty, people should remember the horrific loss of civilians on the "losing side" as well.

Yes I have to agree, the carpet bombing of some towns would perhaps be considered a war crime these days and we the English have committed more than our fair share of war crimes over the centuries but fortunately the majority were committed hundreds of years ago when perhaps people were generally more barbaric but genocide still happens even in these enlightened times. War is most definitely ugly, it should never be glorified and I saw very little evidence of that during the period of remembrance. What was significant was the amount of coverage given to the non combatants, the farmers, firemen and the land army etc. In my opinion the coverage was very balanced and the participation of Germany at the Cenotaph made it all the more poignant.
