Its just horrible. Eppler once claimed: "Beeing an antisemit and nazi 1930 you may call just stupid, beeing a nazi after Auschwitz is nothing less than beeing reprobate"

I feel it really is horrible. When Nick26 and I started this website a few years ago; I didn't even consider that we would get Nazi party sympathizers on the forum.

After a short while, some showed up. They are banned quickly, although we did lose a few good members because of it, even though we did ban them. It's a shame, really.

I'm proud of my German heritage but I recognize that some did bad things; particularly those aligned with the Nazi party. My own grandfather fought for the German army in WWII and I'm not embarassed or anything about it, I just think of it as a part of history. My family tree goes back to 1712, well before that period in time, and will extend into the future. I don't like it when people define a culture because of one point in time.

Just my two cents. Or zwei pfennig.
