What do people in Germany think about the D-Day celebrations?

Like this year for the big anniversary. It is interesting to me that this is never discussed.
They still have some number of WW2 veterans still alive, right? Are they ever recognized in any way or do Germany’s laws prohibit that?

They’re all Muslim now so probably don’t care

Hopefully they think about how they got their asses kicked by the good guys

I’m sure it’s a sore subject. I do think it’s pretty cool to see German vets meet their former enemies. For the most part, everyone gets along.

They're happy about it. Germans had a reckoning with their past a long time ago and have distanced themselves from it and don't romanticize it. They recognize it for what it is.

Who gives a shite? To the victor go the spoils.
Also, it’s not like it’s some huge arse whooping they took. It was bloody for everyone.

Ignore it and go recruit more 3rd world immigrants to their country.

They embrace it
Germany, no matter how bad their history is, is 100% anti nationalist

They’re very happy we got to Berlin before Stalin

I don't know about now, but they used to have pretty large formal reunions

Not sure if serious

Germany isn't really proud of that period in their history.

Yet Angela Merkel has had the nerve in the past to lecture the United States on our past human rights abuses, which are a day at the park compared to her country's.
