In other news, some people still call Germans by the pejorative term "Krauts" in a context insensitive to the deaths of innocent people.

Ask your great grandfather...
Wow......just wow.... :rolleyes:

IN....before the lock and ban....what a maroon.....

A Kraut is like a Nip or a Yank or a Kike or a cupcake or a Wop or a Pom or a Towelhead or a Coon, only from Germany.
Ask your great grandfather...
I asked mine he said:
"Us Japs preferred 'slope head' or 'ole slant eyes' now go get me a base ball bat so I can beat the piss out of who said that to you"

My Grandfather saw and talked to plenty of Germans in the North Desert campaign , a friend of the family was in the 22nd army group after being a Desert rat . They used slang but treated the captured airmen / soldiers as humans . once the war ended they stopped using the terms as it was no longer needed . The most common slang from us Brits was Jerry and the jerry called us tommies , ok that one is still used as it's far more said in an affectionate way . The Pilots on both sides had a real camaraderie (especially between Commonwealth and German/Italian pilots . Many Luft pilots after being shot down were given tours of spitfires on the ground or hurricanes before they were picked up from RAF fields by the MP's . Same with RAF pilots shot down . Douglas Badder himself sat in many 109 and FW 190 variants while as a prisoner of war .
While in Tubrok my grand father had many a name calling to the Germans just a few hundred yards away which was good humoured on both sides . The Germans would sing "it's a long way to Tipperary" while he and the rest of his crew would sing :" lii Marleen" being joined by the Germans from "over the line" . He would cry every time he heard that song .
Not every vet was a bigot the vast majority were just men who ignored the bull put out the proper-gander brigade back home . Many would defend the enemy soldiers from ignorant little avacados back home . The family friends RSM even beat up a policeman when he got back home in 1946 . why ? because he made derogatory remarks about Germans . The RSM had served before WWII and fought 3 campaigns : Belgium, North Africa and Normandy right into the Rhine land . Every POW they caught had 3 things . The platoon would scrape together all the studmuffins they had to give the POWs , a tin of bully beef for each POW and a good nights sleep before handing over to the MP's .
So take your pathetic , narrow minded and insulting idea of what "Vets" are like , shove it where even Shimano can't shift it and hang your head in shame . You betray Every Thing that people died for . Most of the average man at war hated what they were doing , they couldn't wait for it to be over and to get home and not have to know that they would have to kill a man just like them .
In 6 Squadron (which was my grandfathers) of 200 ground crew 150 were awarded medals only 4 accepted (my Grandfather declined his ) he did not want a reward for helping to kill other young men .

Actually, photography (aerial and otherwise) was used to find most of them. Unexploded ordinance is found quite often here in Stuttgart - the past few years the City has undertaken a major (and controversial - google Stuttgart 21) renovation of the Hauptbahnhof and several bombs have been discovered. About three years ago one was foiund right here on Patch Barracks (Kurmaker Kaserne). They didn't evacuate the entire kaserne; just the barracks adjacent to the bomb

"Allied WWII bombs still killing Krauts..."
Well that is one way to put it, if you want to come across like a non-empathetic jerk.
First thing that came to my mind when I read the story was some innocent man lost his life and probably leaves behind a devastated family.
It's up to you though...
