Since my earlier post I have read further in the thread. The OP was very clear what s/he was interested in, by bringing the photo to our attention. And none of that was about war guilt or anything like that.

As has been said innumerable times in similar situations, if folks wanted to have that conversation and debate, they could easily do so by starting another thread referencing the CS thread.

Quoted for truth.
