Or look at the discussion about first person shooters in Germany. Some politicians really think that those kids who ran amok in their schools did it because they were playing such games. Nobody seems to realize there that apart from playing computer games all of them had another thing in common - being pushed out of society and mobbed by classmates until their only wish was to die or to kill everyone who was torturing them.
actually, most of those kids are mentally ill, or at least they claim to be during their trial....

anyway, regarding the main topic of this thread, it's not so much the history of WW2 that they are trying to cover up, its just the whole... nazi thing (swastica etc.)

case in point, look at my signature pic. when this captured german plane was sent back to germany to be restored by Dornier, they gave it a 'period correct' pain scheme, minus one very infamous symbol....
