Konrad Adenauer said the West was "taking a calculated risk" when they started rebuilding Germany after the Holocaust. Before that President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill agreed: "It is our inflexible purpose to destroy German militarism and Nazism and to ensure Germany will never again be able to disturb the peace of the world."
Nevertheless, Helmut Schmidt reported Germany was again putting on "imperial airs," and author Bernard Conally wrote that France was struggling to "hold the old demons of Germany's character in check." Margaret Thatcher warned her deaf audience that "Germany is very powerful now - her national character is to dominate." Are they all just crying wolf? Or is the German beast about to devour again?

Three years ago (in 2004), I had dinner in Skopje with young political activists and thank tank scholars from a renowned right-of-center foundation (Stifftung). They were well-aware that I am an Israeli and a Jew. This did not deter them from saying things like: "Hitler is the architect of the new Europe", "Hitler did some pretty bad things but also a lot of good", "Hitler was not worse than other leaders of his period", and "Germans were as much victims of Hitler as the Jews". The movie "The Fall" with Bruno Ganz in the lead role, released in the same year, portrays Hitler with empathy.
